Software Testing

           

            Software testing is the process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors or bugs. In this process, we are doing the measurement of quality & typically try to find the completeness, correctness, security of product or service under test. This process is also called technical investigation which is carried out to allow understanding risks of software developed. It is the process of validation & verification of the software service or application or program by checking whether it’s meeting the requirements mention in the FRD (Functional Requirements Document), which working as expected and what all is implemented as per the characteristics.

Summary of the Seven Testing Principles

Principle 1	Testing shows presence of defects
Principle 2	Exhaustive testing is impossible
Principle 3	Early Testing
Principle 4	Defect Clustering
Principle 5	Pesticide Paradox
Principle 6	Testing is context dependent
Principle 7	An absence of errors - fallacy

What is Manual testing?

Manual testing is the process of testing the software manually to identify the bug, issues and defect in the software product. The aim of a software tester is to break the system and understand the response of system in various scenarios. The actual behaviour of the system is always cross-checked against the expected or desired system behaviour. If there is difference in both, the tester reports it as the issue. A tester can employ several manual testing techniques to test every aspect of the software – either it is functional or non-functional.

Most important Software Testing Fundamental is "100% Automation is not possible". This makes Manual Testing imperative.

Types of Manual Testing

Myths of Manual Testing

Following are few common myths and facts related to testing:

          Myth: Anyone can do manual testing

Fact: Testing requires many skill sets.

          Myth: Testing ensures 100% Defect-free product

Fact: Testing ensures to find as many defects as possible. Identifying all possible defects is impossible.

          Myth: Testing is easy

Fact: Testing can be exceedingly challenging .Testing an application for possible use cases with minimum test cases requires high analytical skills. 

Why Automation Testing?

Automation software testing is important due to following reasons:

•                      Manual Testing of all workflows, all fields, all negative scenariosis time and cost consuming

•                      It is strenous and prolonged to test for multilingual sites manually

•                      Automation does not require Human intervention. You can run automated test unattended (overnight)

•                      Automation increases speed of test execution

•                      Automation helps increase Test Coverage

•                      Manual Testing can become boring and hence error prone.

•                      Manual Testing vs Automation Testing

•                      Manual Testing	•                      Automated Testing
•                      Manual testing requires human intervention for test execution.	•                    Automation Testing   requires tools to execute test cases
•                      Manual testing will require skilled labour, long time & will imply high costs.	•                      Automation Testing saves time, cost and manpower. Once recorded, it's easier to run an automated test suite
•                      Manual testing is recommended for any type of application and is mostly used for ad-hoc and monkey testing.	•                      Automated testing is proposed only for stable systems and is mostly used for  Regression Testing
•                      Manual testing can be become repetitive and boring.	•                      The boring part of executing same test cases time and again, is handled by automation software in Automation Testing.

 

Different types of software testing that can be automated

•                      Smoke Testing

•                      Unit Testing

•                      Integration Testing

•                      Functional Testing

•                      Keyword Testing

•                      Regression Testing

•                      Data Driven Testing

•                      Black Box Testing
