 Software Testing
What is it?

“Software Testing the process to validate the outcome of software product by

identifying defects to meet with expected results and specified requirements of
the customer”
What are the techniques involved in software testing?
Verification (QA) is set of activities for ensuring quality in process by which
products are developed. Aim to prevent defects with focus on process used
to make the products.
Method of Verifications: Walkthrough, Inspection, Review (Static Testing)

Validation (QC) is set of activities for ensuring quality in products itself.

Finding defect in developed product. Aim to identify defects/errors in the
finished products.

Method of Validation: Testing, End Users (Dynamic Testinge.

introduction
Why we need it?

Software testing is really required to point out the defects and errors that were made
during the development phases.

It’s essential since it makes sure of the Customer’s reliability and their satisfaction in
the application.

It is very important to ensure the Quality of the product.

Quality product delivered to the customers helps in gaining their confidence.

Testing is required for an effective performance of software application or product.

It’s important to ensure that the application should not result into any failures because it
can be very expensive in the future or in the later stages of the development.

It’s required to stay in the business.

 Skills Required for Software Testing
Analytical and logical thinking

The ability to imagine business situations

A sense of logical curiosity and creativity

A “Local” approach

Ability to apply basic and fundamental knowledge

Continue to learn

Respect for truth and intellectual integrity

Planning, time management skills

Effective communication skills

 Levels of Software Testing
“A level of the software testing process where individual units/components of a
software/system are tested, The purpose of this test is to evaluate the system's
compliance with the specified requirements”.

Requirement


SDLC: Software Development Life Cycle Design
Build

It is a systematic approach to develop software.
Test

It is a conceptual model used in project management
that describes the stages involved in an information Deployment

What is Configuration Management
(CM)?

“Configuration Management (CM) is a systems engineering process for

establishing and maintaining consistency of a product’s performance, functional,
and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information
throughout its life.”

Why it is important in software

testing?

It facilitates the ability to communicate status of documents and code as well as
changes that have been made to them. High-quality of the software that has
been tested and used, makes it a reusable asset and saves development costs.

Increased efficiencies, stability and control by improving visibility and tracking.

The ability to define and enforce formal policies and procedures that govern
asset identification, status monitoring, and auditing.
 Deliverable of Software Testing

Test Plan

Test A test strategy is an outline that describes the testing approach of the software
development cycle. It is created to inform project managers, testers, and
Strategy developers about some key issues of the testing process.

Test A Test Scenario is any functionality that can be tested. It is also called Test
Scenario Condition or Test Possibility. As a tester, you may put yourself in the end user's
shoes and figure out the real-world scenarios and use cases of the Application
Under Test.

Test Case A test case is a document, which has a set of test data, preconditions, expected
results and post conditions, developed for a particular test scenario in order to
verify compliance against a specific requirement.

 Automation Testing

What is it?

“Automated testing or test automation is a method in software testing that makes use of
special software tools to control the execution of tests and then compares actual test results
with predicted or expected results”.

Why we need it?

“Test Automation software is the best way to increase the effectiveness, efficiency
and coverage of your software testing. Once automated tests are created they can
easily be repeated and they can be extended to perform tasks impossible with
manual testing”.
 Key Advantages of Automation
Saves time and money by making testing more efficient
Improves testing accuracy compared to testing directed by humans
Increases test coverage because multiple testing tools can be deployed at once allowing for
parallel testing of different test scenarios
Helps developers by finding bugs and errors more quickly

What is Automation Framework?

“The method or process being used to implement automation is called a test automation
framework”

List of Automation Testing

Frameworks:

Module Based Testing Framework

Library Architecture Testing Framework

Data Driven Testing Framework

Keyword Driven Testing Framework

Hybrid Testing Framework

Behaviour Driven Development Framework
 Difference (Manual vs Automation)
Manual Testing
 Manual Testing is a start of Testing,
without this testing we can’t start
Automation Testing.

In Manual Testing testers are allowed to
do Random Testing to find the Bugs.

Regression Testing process is tough in
Manual Testing
 It takes lot of time.
 It is not expensive.
 It gives low accuracy result.
 In this Testing we cannot do batch
testing.
Automation Testing
 Automation Testing is a continuous
part of Manual Testing.

In Automation Testing we always test
through Running Scripts.

Regression Testing process is easy in
Automation Testing by Tools.
 It takes less time.
 It is expensive.
 It gives high accuracy result.
 In this Testing we can do multiple
types of batch testing.
 Automation Testing
Tools
“In software testing, test automation is the use of special software (separate from the software
being tested) to control the execution of tests and the comparison of actual outcomes with
predicted outcomes.”
