Meet Customer Requirements and Meet Customer Expectation is called Technical and Cost of Purchase and Time to Release is called non technical. Definition: 1. Meet Customer Requirements (MCR) :- MCR in term of functionality 2. Meet Customer expectation (MCE):- In term of performance/usability/capability etc... 3. Cost Of Purchase (CP):- By customer 4. Time to release (TR):- By development organization. SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSING REQIREMENT GATHERING ANALAYSIS AND PLANING DESIGN CODING TESTING RELEASE & MAINTAINENCE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PROCESSING MODELS 1. WATER FALL MODEL :when customer requirements are clear and constant 2. PROTO TYPE MODEL: When customer requirements are in ambiguity, the S/W organization develop sample model, which goes first to develop real S/W. 3. SPIRAL MODEL: Spiral model when the requirements are enhancing. 4. AGILE MODEL: Agile model when the customer requirements suddenly changing. Note 1:-All S/W development models are derived from water fall model or linear sequential model. Note 2: Above all S/W development models are maintaining single stage of testing and that too by same development people. SOFTAWARE QUALITY ASSURANCE & SOFTAWARE QUALITY CONTROL SQA: The monitory and measuring the strength of development process is called SQA. SQC: The validation of the S/W product with respect to the customer requirements and expectation called SQC. BRS: BRS is defining the requirements of the customer to be developed as new software. This document is also known as CRS/URS. 1

Jee SRS: Software requirements specification is defining functional requirements to be developed and system requirements to be used. REVIEW: Determining the complete ness and correctness of documents by responsible people through Walkthrough, Inspection and peer-review is REVIEW. Walkthrough: Checking from first line to last line Inspection search and faker Peer-review: Comparing one Document with another document for each point word to word. HLD: Designing the overall architecture of system from root module to leaf module. Ex: Login ATM, Chat. HLD is also known as architectural design or external design. LLD: LLD defines the internal architectural correspondence model (or) functionality. LLD is also known as internal design documents. PROTO TYPE: A simple model of software is called proto type. Its consists of interface (screen) with out functionality. PROGRAMME: It indicates the set of executable statements. Statements in performing process and displaying outputs. MODEL (OR) UNIT: - Its a combination of programmer and S/W. WHITE BOX OR GLASS BOX OR OPEN BOX TESTING TECHNIQUES: This is a program basis testing techniques. This technique also known as glass box or open box testing. Those responsible use this technique to verify the internal structure of corresponding program. BLACK BOX TESTING: Its a system level testing techniques. Those responsible use this technique to validate external functionality. BUILD: An .exe executable form of system is called build. OR a finally integrated all modules set is call build. V-MODEL: V-Stands for verification and validation. This model defines conceptual mapping in between develop man stage and testing stages. V-model consists of multiple stages of developing process. Each embedding with multiple stages of testing process. From this model maximum organization are maintaining separate testing team only for system testing pass. Bcoz this stage is a bottle neck stage of Software development. After system testing the organization is planning to release S/W to customer site. 2 3 4 6 1 5 2A 3A 4A 7

REVIEW IN ANALYSIS Generally software development process starts with requirements gathering and analysis. In this phase business analysts develop BRS/SRS document. For complete ness and correctness of document the same business analyst conducts a review. In the review these are considered. BRS & SRS Are they right requirement? Are they complete requirement? Are they achievable requirement? Are they reasonable requirement? Are they testable requirement? II. REVIEWS IN DESIGN After completion of analysis & Review, Designers develop HLD & LLDS. To verifying completeness and correctness those document, the same designer conducts review meeting. In this review, they concentrate on below factors. HLD & LLDS Are they understandable design? Are they designing right requirements? Are they designing complete requirements? Are they following able design? Are they handling errors? III .UNIT TESTING 1. Basis Path Testing: - Programmer is verifying whether a programmer is running or not. In basis path testing, programmer are following the below procedure to test complete programme. Draw flow diagram for that programme Calculate no of independent paths in that programme (geometric complexity). Run that programme more than are time to cover all independent paths in that programme. 2. Control Structure Testing: - Programmers concentrate on the correctness and completeness of the corresponding programme outputs. They are checking every statement including if conditions for loops, memory allocations. 3 2A. Review 3A. Review 4A. White box testing

1, 2, 2A, 3, 3A 4, 4A, 5, 6, 7

Jee 3. Program Technique Testing:- Programmers verify the execution speed of corresponding program. In this testing, programmer is taking the help of monitors and properties. If the program speed is not good, then programmers are performing changes in structure of the programme without disturbing the functionality. 4. Mutation Testing:Test Test Test Change

Change

Passed passed passed/fail Mutation means a change is program. Programmers perform willing changes in programs and perform test separately. In this test programmers verify completeness and correctness of test on program. TESTING TERMINOLOGY 1. Testing Strategy: Its a document and it does define the required Testing approach to be followed by testing people. 2. Test Plan: Its a document and its provides work allocation and in terms of schedule 3. Test Case: It does define test condition to validate functionality in term of completeness and correctness. 4. Test Log: Its defining the result of test case in term of passed (or) fail of execution of testing case application build. 5. Error-Defect (Issue) -& Debug: a). A mistake in a coding is called ERROR b) This mistake found by Test engineer, during Testing called DEFECT/ISSUE. C). this defect/issue review & Accepted by development team to release is called BUG. 6. Re-Testing: Its also known as data driven (or) iterative testing. Test engineers repeat the same test on same application build with multiple I/P values. This type of test repetition is called ReTesting. 7. Regression: The Re-execution of scheduled test cases on modified build to ensure, bug-fix work without any side effect is called regression test.

In Above example the project manager/ Test manager finalized 9 testing topics are issues to be applied by testing team On S/W Build.

Jee IV. INTEGRATION TESTING After completion of program development and unit testing, programmers are connecting them to form a complete software field. In this integration of programs, programmers verify interfaces in between every 2 programs or modules. They are four types of approaches to interactive modules such as 1. Top-Down Approach: In this model programmers interconnect main module to sub modules. In the place of under constructing sub modules, programmer use temporary programs, called as stubs (or) called programs. Main
Stub

Sub 1

Sub 2

2. Bottom-Up Approach: - In this programmers interconnect sub modules without using under construction main module. In place of that under construction main module programmers use the temporary programme called driver or calling program. Main

Driver

Sub 1 Sub 2

3. Hybrid Approach:- In this approach we combine from top-down and bottom-up approaches also known as Hybrid approach. Or approach. Mai n

Jee 4. Big-Ban Approach: - In this model programmers interconnect programs after completion of complete coding. V. SYSTEM TESTING After completion of integration testing, development people release S/W build to the separate testing team. This separate testing team is validating the S/W build with respect to customer requirements. In this level of testing the separate testing team uses block-box testing technique. These techniques are classifying into three categories. 1. Usability / Accessibility Testing 2. Functional Testing 3. Non-Functional Testing

1. Usability / Accessibility Testing: Generally the system test executing is starting with usability
test. During this test, test engineers validate user-friendliness of every screen in application build. This Usability testing two consists of Sub-Techniques A) User- Interface Testing: During this test, Test engineers are applying below 3 factors for every screen of our application window. Screen of Build Ease of Use 1. Understandable Screen 2. Attractive 3. Less no events of to completed task Ex: Short Navigation. Look & Feel Speed in Interface.

B): Manual Support Testing: During this Test, Test engineers study help of application build to estimate context sensitiveness. Generally, technical writers of company develop user manuals before the releasing the S/W to customer. Due to this reason the manual supporting testing is coming into picture at the end of the system testing. USABILITY TESTING Receive S/W from developers UI Testing Functional & Non-Functional Testing Manual Supporting Testing

2. Functional Testing.
Its monitory testing level in system testing. During functional testing, test engineer concentrate to meet customer requirements. Functional testing is classified into two sub testing techniques. 10

Jee A) Functionality Testing:1) GUI Coverage or Behavioral 2) Error- Handling-Coverage 3) I/P domain Coverage 4) Manipulation Coverage or O/P Coverage 5) Back-End Coverage 6) Order of Functionality Coverage During this test, test engineer verify whether functionality is working correct or not. In this testing, test engineer construct below coverages. GUI: Changing properties of screen Objects before. E-H.C: Verify the prevention of wrong operations. I/P-D-C- verify the size and type of every I/P object values. M/C: Correctness of O/P. B-E: The I/P of front-end operations on B/E tables. O.F.C.: B.) Sanitation Testing: Is also known as GARBAGE Testing. During this test, test engineers find test functionality of application build with respect to customer.

3. Non-Functionality Testing: During non-functionality testing, testing team concentrates on extra

characteristic of S/W build to customer. A) Compatibility Testing: Its also known as portability testing. During this testing, Test engineers validate whether the application build is running on customer expected platform or not? Platform means that O/S, compilers, browsers and other system S/W. B) Configuration Testing: Is also known as H/W compatibility testing. During this test, test engineer test remaining application builds with various technologies. H/W devices to estimate H/W compatibility. Example: Technical Printers, Technical Networks, Technical Topologies. C) Recovery Testing: Error-Handling is also known as reliability resting. During this test, test engineer validate whether, application build is changing from, abnormal status to normal status are not? D) Inter System Testing: Its also known as interring operator ability End-to-End testing. During this test, test engineers validate, whether our application Co-exists with other S/W application to share common resources. E) Security Testing: Its also known as penetration testing. During this test, test engineers validate below 3 factors. 1. Authorization 2. Access control 3. Encryption/decryption. In authorization testing, test engineers validate whether application accepting users and reject invalid users are not? In access control testing test, test engineers validate permission of users, for utilize of application 11

Jee Then En/De testing, test engineers are trying to trace CIPHER test to original test. Security testing authorization and access control test are reasonable to application, but En/De is conducted by separate test security testing people. F) Data volume Testing: Its also known as storage testing or memory testing. During this test, test engineer find peek limit data handled by our application build. Example: Ms-Access Technologies, data bases, Supporting as a 2 GB. Data base Max. I) Load Testing: No of users using the software at same time. Ex: websites, yahooG-mail. Load means that no of concurrent users which are accessing, application at the same times. Execution of application on customer expected configuration is called Load Testing. H) Stress Testing: The performance of application on customer expected configuration and whichever load levels to estimate stability is called S/T. I) Installation Testing: During this test, testing team practice, on Initial S/W. During this initial testing, testing team is taking S/W build and supporting S/W to run our application build at customer side. J) Parallel Testing: It is also known as comparative are competitive testing. During this, test, test engineer compare S/W with old version of same S/W and with other company similar product to estimate competitiveness. This testing applicable to S/W product only. VI) USER ACCEPTANCE TESTING After completion of testing system, the project management concentrates on user acceptance testing to collect feed back from real customer or model customer. There are 2 ways to conduct user acceptance test. - ALPHATESTING Real customer At Development site S/W application -BETA TESTING by model customer at model customer For S/W product

After completion of user acceptance testing, project management concentrate on S/W release VII) MAINTAINS (OR) SUPPORT TESTING Project management declares release team with developers and test engineers and H/W engineers. This release team conducts part testing (or) deployment testing (or) release testing. During this test release team observe below factors. Complete installation Our all functionality I/P devices handling O/P device handling Secondary storage devices handling O/S error handling Co-Existence with other S/W application 12

Jee After completion of above observations, release team gives training on customer software and coming back. During utilization of the S/W, customer side people send change requests to Organization. This responsible team of organization handles changes. This responsible team is also known as Change Control Board (CCB).

Generally every testing process is planned to conduct complete system testing with respect to project requirements. Testing team may not be able to conduct complete testing due to risks or challenges. Ex: lack of times, knowledge, recoursesECT, lack of Document. AD-HOC: Due to above risks testing team plans to follow informal testing methods. A) Monkey Testing: During this style of testing, testing people concentrate on main activities on S/W. Due to lack of time for testing. This style of testing is also knowledge Chinpanji (or) Random testing. Buddy Testing: In this style of testing, test engineers are grouped with developers, due to lack of time for testing. Buddy means group, of a programmer & a tester . 13

B)

Jee C) Exploratory Testing: Generally the testing team conducts system testing depending on functionality and system requirements as in SRS. If the SRS is in complete with requirements, then test engineer depend on past experience, discussion with others, similar projects, browsing ECT to collect complete requirements. This style of testing is called Exploratory Testing. Pair Testing: In this style of testing junior test engineers are grouped with senior test engineers to share the knowledge of testing. This style of testing is called PAIR Testing. De-bugging: The development people add bugs into coding and release to testing team. This type of defect seeding/feeding is useful to estimate efficiency of testing team. Its also known as defect seeding/feeding. TESTING PLANNING After completion of test strategy finalization, the test lead categorizes people and develops test plan. In this stage the test lead categorizes people and develops system test plan & divide that plan into module test plan. The plan defines What to test, How to test, When to test, and Who to test. To develop this plan test lead categorizes people as below Project plan Develop document (SRS) Test strategy Testing team formation Identify tactical Risks Prepare test plan Review test plan Test plan

D)

E)

A) Testing Team formation: Generally test planning task starts with testing team formation. In this stage test lead depends on below factors. Project Size Lines of columns (or) Functionality Availability of Test engineer Test time/duration Test/ environment Case Study 1. Client server, website, ERP--System S/W (networking, mobile) Machine Criteria S/W (SAT) 3 to 5 months of system technique 7 to 9 months of system technique 12 to 15 months of system technique

B) Identify technical risks: After completion of testing team formation test lead concentrates on risk analysis & exception with that of formed testing team. Example: Risk 1: Lack knowledge of testing engineers that project domain. Risk 2: Lack of time Risk 3: Lack of Documents 14

Jee Risk 4: Delays in delivery Risk 5: Lack of development process Resource Risk 6: Lack of Resources. Risk 7: Lack of communication. C) Prepare Test plan: After completion of team formation & risks analysis, test lead concentrates on test plan document. In this stage test lead uses IEEE 829 test plan document format. Formats: 1. Test plan ID: The title of test plan document for format reference. 2. Introduction: About project. 3. Test Item: List of modules in project. 4.

Jee D) Review Test Plan: After completion of test plan document preparation, test lead conducts review meeting, to estimate completeness and correctness of document. In this review the Testing team members of that project also involve. In the preview meeting the testing people depend on below factors. a. Requirement based coverage (what to test). b. Testing technique based coverage(How to test) c. Risks based coverage (Who and when to meet). TEST DESIGN After completion of test planning the corresponding selected test engineers concentrate on test design, test execution, and test reporting. Generally the selected test engineers design test cases for every project. In test design every test engineer studies all the requirements of the project and prepares test cases for selected requirement only with respect to test plan. In this test design, test engineers use three types of test case design methods to prepare test cases for responsible requirements. 1. Function and systems specification based test design. 2. Use cases based test case design. 3. Application build test case design based. TEST CASE DEFINITION: Every test case defines a unique test condition, and then every test case is self standing and clear. To ensure understandability test engineers, start every test case with verify or check English words. Every test case is traceable with requirements. Functional and System Specification Bases Test Case Design BRS SRS (Functional system requirement) HLD & LLD Coding .Exe Build Test cases

From the above diagram test engineers prepare the maximum test cases depending on functional and system requirement as in SRS. In this type of Test cases, Test engineer follow below approach. Step 1: Collect functional & system specification of requirements. Step 2: Select specification from that list 2.1: Identify entry point. 2.2: Identify I/P required. 2.3: Study normal flow. 2.4: Identify O/P & Out comes 2.5: Identify exit point. 2.6: Identify alternative flow & exception. (Rules). Step 3: Prepare test case titles, or test scenarios. 16

USE CASES BASED TEST CASE DESIGN Use cases Based: The other method for test case selection is use cases based test case design. This method is preferable for out sourcing testing companies. Generally max testers preparing TEST CASE depending functional system specifications in corresponding project SRS, some times the testing people prepare test cases depending on use cases also. Use cases are more elaborative and understandable than functional and systems specifications. BRS Depends SRS HLD LLDS CODING (BUILD) 23 Test cases

Jee From the above diagram, testing team receives use cases from project management to prepare test cases. Every use case is describing functionality with all required information. Every use case follows a standard format unlike theoretical functional specification. FORMATS: 1. Use case name: The name of use case for future reference. 2. Use case description: Summary of functionality 3. Actors: Name of actors, who participate in corresponding function 4. Related use cases: Name of selected use cases, which have dependency with other use cases 5. Pre conditions: List of necessary tasks to do before start this functionality testing 6. Activity flow diagram: The graphical notation of corresponding functionality. 7. Primary scenario: A step by step action to perform corresponding functionality 8. Alternative scenario: Alternative list of actions to perform same functionality 9. Post conditions: It specifies the exist point of corresponding functionality 10. User Interface makeup: Model screen or proto type 11. Special requirement: List of rules to be followed if possible from the above use case format; project management provide all functionality documents with complete details. Depending on that use cases, test engineers prepare test case titles and then documentation using IEEE 829 format. 3 APPLICATION BUILD BASED TEST CASE DESIGN Generally the test engineers prepare test cases depending on functional and system specifications or use cases. After completion of maximum test cases selection, test engineers prepare some test cases depending on application build, which received from development team these new test cases concentrate on usability of the screens in an application. These test cases cover ease of use, look and feel, speed in interface, and user manual correctness. Example of Test cases: Verify spelling in every screen Verify contrast of each object is every screen Verify alignment of object in every screen Verify column commonness in all screens Verify font commonness in all screens Verify size commonness in all screens Verify functionality grouped objects in screens Verify borders of functionality grouped objects Verify tool tips Extinguisher: messages about icons in screens Verify the place of multiple data objects in screen Extinguisher: list boxes, table grids, active X control menus and data windows. Verify scroll box Verify labels of objects in every screen as init Cap Verify key board accessing in one application build Verify abbreviation in all screens Extinguisher: short cuts Verify information repetition in screens Ex: Date of birth (dd/mm/yyyy, mm/dd/yyyy). Verify help document (help menu contents in our application menu). 24

Jee Note: Generally the test engineers prepare maximum test cases depending on functional and system specifications in SRS. The remaining test cases are prepared using application build because the functional and system specifications dont provide complete information about every small issue in our project. Some times the testing people use Use cases instead of functional and system specification in SRS. Review Test Cases: After completion of test cases selection and documentation, test lead conducts review meeting along with test engineers. In this review test lead concentrates on completeness and correctness of test cases. In coverage analysis, test lead considers 2 types of factors. Requirement based test cases coverage to conduct test cases Testing techniques based test cases coverage after completion of this review meeting test engineers concentrate on test execution. IV.TEST EXECUTION In test execution, test engineers concentrate on test cases execution, defect reporting and tracking. In this stage the testing team conduct a small meeting with development team for version controlling and establishment of test environment. Software Builds Defect Test case

Development Bug fixing Bug resolving

Initial builds Stable build Defect reporting Modified build

Testing (sanity/smoke) Level 0 Level 1 (Comprehensive/ exclusive) Level 2 (Regression)

(Master build) Level 3(Final regression / post mar testing) 1. Version control: During test execution developers assign unique version numbers to software builds after performing required changes. This version numbers system should be understandable to testing people. For build version controlling the development people use version control softwares. Example: VSS (visual source save). LEVELS OF TEST EXECUTION Selected test cases for 25 Vs TEST CASES

Jee Level 0 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Note:

Basic functionality Total functionality Selected test cases W.R.T. Modification Selected test cases W.R.T. Bug density Level 0 on Initial build Level 1 on stable build Level 2 on modified build Level 3 on master build & Golden build is released to customer

Level 0 Generally testers start test execution with level 0 testing. Its also known as sanity or smoke or octangle or tester acceptance or build verification or testability. In testing level test engineers concentrate on below 8 factors through operating corresponding initial build. 1. Sanity or smoke test or Understandable 2. Operatable 3. Observable 4. Controllable 5. Consistency 6. Simplicity 7. Maintainable 8. Automat able Level 1 :( comprehensive testing): After receiving stable build from development team, test engineers execute all test cases sequentially either in manual or in automation. In manual test execution, test engineers compare test cases specified expected values & build specified actual value. In test execution test engineers prepare test log . This document consists of 3 types of entries. 1. Passed: all excepted values of the test case are equal to all actual value build. 2. Failed: Any one expected value is variation with in anyone actual value builds. 3. Blocked: dependent Test case execution postponed to next cycle. Due to wrong parent functionality. SKIP Passed

Level 2 regression testing): During level1 comprehensive testing, testing people report miss matches in between test cases expected and build actual to development team as defect report. After reviewing and resolving the defect the developer releases note. The responsible test engineers study the release note and try to understand modification in modified build, and then the test engineers concentrate on regression testing to ensure that modification. 26

From the above diagram test engineers conduct regression testing on modified build which are modified in release note. Study release note and consider severity of resolved bug.

High All P0 All P1 Max P2 TC

Medium All P0 Max P1 Same P2 TC

Low Same P0 Same P1 Same P2 TC

Case 1: The development team resolves bug severity as high, then test engineers re-execute all Po, All P1, and carefully select max, P2 test cases. On modified build with respect to, modification mentioned in release note. Case 2: If the development team resolves bug severity as medium, then test engineers execute all Po, carefully selected all P1, and some of P2, test cases, on modified build W.R.T Modification mentioned in release note. Case 3: If the development team resolves bug severity as how, then test engineers are re-executing some Po, P1, P2, test cases are that modified build W.R.T. to mention is release. Case 4: If the test team modified build due to sudden changes in customer requirements, and then test engineers re-execute all Po allP1, carefully selected max P2, test cases on modified build W.R.T. modification mentioned in release notes. V.TEST REPORTING During level-1 and level2 test execution test engineers report miss-matches is between test cases expected values and build actual values as defect report to development team. In test reporting development receive defect report from testing team in standard format. This format is followed by every test engineer during test execution to report defects. IEEE 829 defect report format: 27

Jee 1. Defect ID: unique number or name for future reference 2. Description : summary about defect 3. Build version number: The version number of current build, in this build test engineers detected this defect. 4. Feature: The name of the module or function where the test engineers found defect. 5. Test case name: The name of failed test case, in test case execution test engineers found this defect. 6. Status: New/Reopen: New Reporting first time@ Reopen Re-reporting 7. Reproducible: Yes Defect appears every time in test case execution. No Defect appear rarely in test execution 8. If, yes attach test procedure. 9. If, no attach snap shot and strong reasons 10. Severity: The seriousness of defect in terms of functionality High Not able to continue remaining testing without resolving this defect snapshot. Medium: Able to continue remaining testing but mandatory to resolve it. Low: Able to continue remaining testing and may or may not resolve it. Priority Importance of the defect to restore in terms of customer (high, medium low) Detected by the name of test engineer Detected on date and time of defect reporting Assigned to: Name of responsible person at development side to receive defect report. Suggest fix :( Optional): Reasons to accept and restore these defect. Resolution type: After receiving defect report from testing team the responsible development people conduct review meeting and then send resolution to responsible testing team. These are 12 types of resolution types 1. Enhancement: The reported defect is rejected because this defect is related to future requirements of this customer. 2. Duplicate: The reported defect is rejected because that defect is similar to previously accepted defect. 3. H/W invitation: Reported defect is rejected because the defect rose due to limitation of H/W devices. 4. S/W limitations: The reported defect is rejected because that defect rose due to limitation of corresponding S/W technology. 5. Not applicable: The reported defect is rejected because this defect has improper meaning. 6. Functions as designed: The reported defect is rejected because the coding is correct W.R.T.Designed documents. 7. Need more information: The reported defect is not accepted and not rejected but the developers are requesting more information about the defect to understand. 8. UnProduceble: The reported defect is not accepted and not rejected but the developer is requiring correct procedure to reproduce that defect. 9. No_ plan to fix it: The reported defect is not accepted and not rejected but the development people are requiring same more extra time. 10. Open: The reported defect is accepted and the development people are ready to resolve through changes in coding. 28

Jee 11. Deferred: The reported defect is accepted but postponed to future release due to low severity and low priority 12. Use Direction: The reported defect is accepted but developer is providing same valid information about that defect to customer site people through is application build screens.

Jee Types of defects: Generally black box testers find the fallowing type of defects during system testing such as

1. User interface defects 2. Boundary related defects 3. Error handling defects 4. Calculations defects 5. Race condition defects 6. Load condition defects 7. H/W related defects 8. ID control bugs 9. Version control bugs 10. Source bugs

1. User interface defects: (Low severity):Example1: spelling mistake (low severity and high priority) Example 2: Improper right alignment: how severity and low severity. 2. Boundary related defects: (Medium severity): Example1: The object is not taking valid type of values as I/P (medium severity and high priority) Example2 :One object is taking invalid type also ( medium severity and low priority) 3. Error handling bugs (medium severity): Example1 does not return error message to prevent wrong operation on build (Medium severity and low priority) Example 2: returns error message but complex to under stand( medium severity and low priority) 4. calculation bugs: (High severity): Example1 dependent I/P is wrong (application shows stopper) (High severity and high priority) Example2 final O/P is wrong;(module shows stopper) (high severity and low priority) 5. Race condition bugs:(high severity): Example dead lock or hang (application shows stopper)( high severity and how priority) Example2: does not run on other customer expected platforms (high severity low priority) 6. Load condition bugs: (high severity): Example does not allow multiple users (application shows stopper) (high severity and high priority). Example2 : does not allow customer expected load (high severity and low priority.) 7. H/W related bugs :( High severity): Example1 does not activate required H/W device(application shows stopper) (High severity and high priority) Example2: does not support all customer excepted H/W technologies (high severity and low priority)

Jee TEST CLOSURE After completion of reasonable cycles of test execution, test lead concentrates on test closure to estimate completeness and correctness of test execution and bugs resolved. In review meeting, the test lead is considering some factors to review testing team to responsibility. 1. 2. Coverage analysis: requirement coverage or modules coverageTesting technique coverage Defect density: Module name A B C D 3. no of defects 20% 20% 40% need for 20% regression

Analysis of deferred (postponed) defects: Whether deferred defects are postponed or not? After completion, closure review by testing team concentrates on postmortem testing or final regression testing or pre acceptance testing, if required. Select high defect density module

Testing Measurements & Metrics Measurement is basic unit. Metrics are a compound unit. In system testing project management & test management use 3 types of measurement & metrics. 1. Quality assessment measurement: The measurement used by project manager or test manager during testing (monthly once). a) Stability :

Sufficiency:Requirements coverage Testing Technologies coverage Defect severity distribution: - Organization trend limit check. II. Test management measurements:- This measurements used by test lead Categories people during testing (weekly once). Test status:No. of. Test cases execution & their O/Ps. 33

Jee No. of. Test cases execution. No. of. Test cases yet to execute. Delays in delivery : Defect arrival rate Defect resolution rate Defect ageing Test efficiency No. of defects detected /person _day No. of test cases prepares/person _day No. of test cases executed/person _day. III. Process capability measurement This measurement is used by Project manager & test manager 2 improve testing team effort. a) Test effectiveness requirement coverage Testing technique coverage. b) Defect escaped Type-phase analysis &

Defect removal efficiency = A/ A+B Here A is no .of. defects detected by testing team & Bno.of bugsfaced by customs side. MANUAL TESTING TEST AUTOMATION

A test engineers executes test cases without using any third party testing tool. This style of test execution is manual testing A test engineers executes test cases with the help of testing tool. This style of test execution is calling of test automation Test engineers are preferring automation. Test reputation& compatibility manual testing 2 types of testing tools available in market such as functionality testing tools & load/stress (performance) testing tolls. Example: FUNCTIONALITY TESTING WinRunner, k-runner, QTP, rational robot, silk test LOAD/STRESS TESTING TOOLS: Load runner, ration load test, SILK performs, ECT. 34
