The error leading to devastating consequences It sometimes happens that the consequences of software error are so disruptive therefore it may not be immediately reproduced, or maybe you will not want to do that. For example, the program can destroy files, write to the critical areas of memory, lock the […] Read More
Nowadays, an increasing number of small, medium and large sized enterprises choose to use the issue tracking system in order to manage and maintain a variety of issues. So do top testing companies as the tool really helps them to follow or record the progress of any problem that a […] Read More
Each interactive software program transitions from one state to another. If you change the option set offered to the user, or the screen image is changed, it means that the program state changes too. Specialists of quality assurance company can advise you on this topic in a more comprehensive and […] Read More
The main purpose of the Issue Tracker Issue Tracker is used primarily to correct the maximum possible number of errors. Anything that does not contribute to achieving this goal is a side effect. When designing an issue tracking system, it is necessary to think very carefully about what functions it […] Read More
Question: How should I do when the wrong behaviors of the program are absolutely similar in the two different situations? Creating a dozen of reports on the same issue is clearly an unacceptable waste of time and efforts of programmer and project manager. If it can be avoided, you should […] Read More
Inside The Program Members of programming team may ask testers to indicate which module contains an identified error or what functional area of the program it belongs to. If there are 10 or 30 such areas, then it is easy to do, but if the number reaches 50 or 500, […] Read More
On identifying the critical step, you should thoroughly test its effects Assume that if the user performs steps A, B, C and at step C something is going wrong. You manage to find out that the problem was caused by step B. Try to change the sequence of the steps, […] Read More
To better track the performance of the program, you can use a source code debugger. It will be useful for you to acquire a lot of valuable knowledge that will broaden your horizons, for example, you will be able to understand which process is currently running, how much space and […] Read More
If the problem can be reproduced, it means the following: The tester can describe how the program reaches a certain state. According to his descriptive document the program can be moved to a given state by any person who is sufficiently familiar with it workings. The tester can describe specific […] Read More
Integrity testing Process of checking software integrity requires time and commitment. This is your last chance to make any reasonable changes to the product being developed before making it available to the customers. The tester attempts to predict all the complaint and critical feedbacks on the program, which may appear […] Read More
Numbering A good problem report, as well as any, original document must have a unique number. In a computerized database, this number must be a key field in the report table, in other words, represent a unique report identifier in the system. In this case, the numbers must be assigned […] Read More
The coding error. The program does not behave as it should do according to the tester. For example, if the program says that 2 + 2 = 3, it is evidence that an error was made in issuing the code. In response to such problem report a programmer can render […] Read More
Race condition The traditional race condition is described like this: Suppose two events are expected to happen in the system, let us call them “A” and “B”. Any of them may occur first. But if event A occurs first, the program will continue running, however, if it is for event […] Read More
An attitude of the programmer to his product is associated with the principles of egoless programming and cognitive dissonance. Cognitive dissonance is the psychological principle that directs the actions of a person whose ideas about himself are most likely to never get a chance. A programmer who sincerely believes that […] Read More
There are two main types of testing: functional and structural ones. During functional testing, the program code is regarded as a “big black box” to the tester, who cannot see the inside of the box. This process involves analyzing the product’s behavior to determine whether or not it is in […] Read More
