As we know, heuristics is a special process of self-learning something specific. Heuristics techniques are a set of approaches to resolving specific dilemmas. To put it simply, if you look long into a design, you’ll stop paying attention to small defects of the graphical interface. In such a situation, you […] Read More
According to the overall software development process model (see Figure below) acceptance testing is a process of comparing the development product to its requirements specification document and the current needs of its end users. Figure. The correspondence between development and testing processes. This is a rather unusual type of […] Read More
Click here to read this article from the beginning… Maintenance program period begins after deployment with focus on bug fixing, modifications and enhancements. Maintenance usually involves further analysis, design, implementation and testing. Among test activities during the maintenance phase is also a regression testing which if passed successfully […] Read More
Being a final phase of web site design, testing plays an important role in the development of high quality e-commerce site. Testing helps to find defects and issues before they hit production and, as a result, easy readable, intuitive, convenient, user-friendly and reliable web app is made available to […] Read More
The development of an automation strategy is a challenging task. It is well known that the scope of software testing should be defined before making a decision about automation. The term “defined” means that testing is integrated into the software life cycle, that both test process itself and test cases […] Read More
The project should be configured & set up every day. Sometimes they say that some projects are so huge that their configuration cannot be edited once a day. Does this mean that they include more than 40 million lines of code forming the basis of Windows XP or Windows Server […] Read More
The human-computer interface (HCI) in modern computers can cover a wide variety of peripheral devices such as a keyboard, a mouse, a keypad, a speech interface, a touch screen monitor, a light pen, a scanner, and many others. Furthermore, in the case of the use of large production control systems […] Read More
A cost-effective way to extend applications is to use distributed computing. There are two main components of the network architecture: the server and the client. The network can have thousands of servers and tens of thousands of personal desktop computers, laptops, wireless and pocket clients, each of which connects to […] Read More
Configuration variations significantly complicate the testing. In particular, such complications can arise due to the use of peripheral devices. Each peripheral device comes with a manufacturer’s driver, which is selected from a set of drivers for different operating systems. That is why personal computers are mostly designed for use in […] Read More
A requirements analyst must: Identify requirements. The requirements for the software product do not lie in plain sight and do not wait for the analyst to come and collect them. A professional analyst helps users clearly define the system functions that they need to achieve business goals. For that to […] Read More
Expert assessments are used in one form or another in most software development projects. One of the tasks assigned to personnel of the quality assurance departments is to perform statistical sampling inspection, reading and marking the user or client documentation. This type of quality control is known as peer review. […] Read More
To ensure that rapid testing will take place throughout the lifecycle of a software development project, a variety of ways to increase its efficiency must be intensively used. There are several technologies that apply not only to the test process, but also to other processes within the development cycle. It […] Read More
If a tester is assigned to test a module, which performs the transformation of data based on a certain algorithm, the most rigorous approach involves the development of input and expected resultant data that will test features, test cases, and conditions for the occurrence of algorithm errors. For example, if […] Read More
The test manager is tasked with organizing and guiding the daily progress and monitoring the quality of testing using the rapid testing methodology. In small projects, this role can be performed by a project manager. In medium-sized projects, this job position can be called a “test leader”. In the case […] Read More
Requirements analysis is the first step in building a software product, which plays a crucial role in the development life cycle. At a later stage, this process will help to optimize the team performance and employee schedules, avoid misunderstandings with the staff, and also allow us to understand whether or […] Read More
Each test plan contains features and aspects of a software application that should be left untested. The document has a specific section intended to unambiguously pre-determine which things should not be covered with test cases prepared by the testing team. The number of objects declared as “not subject to testing” […] Read More
