Manual Testing

1.      Error: An Error is a Mistake.

2.      Bug: During Testing of Application When Testing Team Found Actual Result do not match with the expected result.

3.      Defect: Once Project or Product is Release, then during working by Client or their end user if something wrong identified, it is called defect.

4.      Failure: Once Project or Product is Release and more defects are identified by end users then project is known as failure.

5.      Software Testing: Software Testing is process of executing an application with the intent of finding an error.

6.      CMMI Levels:

i)                    Initial

ii)                  Repeatable

iii)                Defined

iv)                Managed

v)                  Optimized

7.      SDLC : Software Development Life Cycle:

i)                    Requirement Gathering:

-          BD Gets the Projects to the company

-          BD Pass the call to BA

-          BA gathers details of requirement from clients.

-          Requirement can be either functional or non- functional.

-          Functional requirement means core functionality of an application.

-          Nonfunctional requirement means overall behavior of application like performance, usability, security, compatibility.

-          BA Prepares BRD.

-          BA sends the document to development team as well as test.

ii)                  Analysis and Planning

-          Define Scope of the project.

-          Feasibility study of the requirement

-          Analyzing risk factors.

-          Effort estimation

-          Cost estimation

-          Deciding programing language of application

-          Preparing gantt chart.

-          Completing the requirement analysis

-          Delimiting the problem domain

iii)                Design

-          Determining which system component will cover which requirement in the system specification.

-          How these system component will work together.

-          Prepares low level design level designs known as prototype or blue print.

-          Prepare high level designs known as DFD, Flowchart, database architecture, algorithms.

-          Description of the Logical data model.

iv)                Development

-          Refining the algorithms for the individual components.

-          Transferring the algorithms into programing languages.

-          Translating the logical data model into a physical one.

-          Compiling and checking the syntactical correctness of the code.

-          Development team starts writing code according to the design prepared by designing team.

v)                  Testing

-          Testing the manual effects of system components under conditions close to reality.

-          Detecting as many errors as possible in the software system.

-          Assuring that the system implementation fulfills the system specification.

-          Perform function and non-function testing against requirement.

vi)                Deployment

-          Product move to production environment for acceptance testing

-          Mainly done by client and their end user

-          Main goal is to check the business flow of the application

-          Correcting errors that are detected during actual operation

vii)              Release

-          Application is published for their end user general public

-          Code is being sent to the website owner.

-          Handover of different document or deliverables to the company.

8.      STLC Life Cycle(Software Testing Life Cycle)

i)                    Requirement Analysis

-          Analysis client requirement in details

-          Deciding testing priorities

-          Checking up automation feasibilities

ii)                  Test Planning

-          Preparation of Test Plan

-          Selection of Testing tools

-          Test effort estimation

-          Resource planning and determining role and responsibilities

-          Training requirement

-          Staffing requirement

-          Define scope of approach

-          Test deliverables: STP (Software Test Plan Document), Gantt chart of Testing.

iii)                Test Case Preparation & Development

-          Create test data for the test cases

-          Development of test cases

-          Approval of test case document

-          Development of automation testing scripts

-          Test deliverables: Preparation Test data, Test case , Test Script Development

iv)                Test Environment Setup

-          Setting up all hardware component

-          Installation of all required software

-          Installation and configuration of testing tools

-          Copying required document

v)                  Test Execution & Bug Reporting

-          Execution of test case

-          Bug reporting to bug tracking system

-          Retesting of the bug after fixes

-          Mapping of bugs with the test cases

-          Test deliverables:  Bug Reporting from bug management tool, updating test case document

vi)                Test Cycle Closure:

-          Submitting STR(Software Test result)

-          Submitting test summary report, test plan document,test case/script etc…

-          Sharing experiences with the team.
