Testing, Testing & Testing

QA doesn't make software but makes it better
Myths Vs Facts
Myths :
Developers require more skills in comparative to QA.
Development needs more effort then testing.
Facts:
Tester needs to think one step ahead then developers to
breaks their code.
Testing is more creative than development because you
need to be creative to become destructive :)
Software Testing
Software Testing is a process of evaluating a system by
manual or automatic means and verify that it satisfies
specified requirements or identify differences between
expected and actual results From ALU slide

How to do testing??

st
Cycle - Unit and Sanity Testing
Unit Testing: It covers testing
on a specific part of code
perform by developers.


Sanity Testing: It's very basic
level testing done by QA after
fixing some bug.
Basic Cleaning of Bugs

nd
Cycle - Functional , Integration and
Regression Testing
Functional Testing: Focus majorly on specific functionality of
component.

Integration Testing: To check, how that functionality work after
integrating with some other functionality.

Regression Testing: To check older functionality after integrating new
functionality.

Cycle - Stress, Load and Performance
testing
Performance Testing: It means how best something
performs under a given benchmark.
Load Testing: It is also performance testing but under
various loads.
Stress Testing: It is performance under stress conditions.

th
Cycle- Solution or End to End
Testing
It's done in a completely emulated customer setup,
involving multiple products and most of the time
multiple vendor products.
If it's done at the customer site then it's also called
as pre-production testing.

FAQ in Testing
What is the use of Automation in Testing?
It reduce time in testing cycle.
Automation find Regression issue quickly.

Will you allow bugs in the product to be released to
the customer?
Depend on PM on market scenario.

What is the cost of poor quality?
It prevents from doing further business with the customer
It is expensive to fix bugs after releases as whole life cycle
needs to be repeated

Difference Between Verification and Validation.
Verification Vs Validation
Verification:
Are we building the product right?
The software should conform to its specification.
Validation:
Are we building the right product?
The software should do what the user really
requires
