What is Software Testing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Software testing is a process of evaluating\nthe functionality of a software application with an intent to find whether the\ndeveloped software meets the specified requirements or not and to identify the\ndefects to ensure that the product is defect-free. The software tester verifies\nand validates the functionality of an application to find out whether it\nsatisfies the specified requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a\nprocess used to design, develop and test high-quality software. SDLC can also\nbe called as a framework that defines the steps involved in phase by phase\ndevelopment of software which covers the detailed plan for building, deploying\nand maintaining the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The software life cycle typically includes the\nfollowing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Requirements Analysis,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Design and Specifications,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Coding,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Testing,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Installation,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Operation and Support,<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Maintenance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a\nsequence of the various processes performed by the testing team to guarantee\nthe quality of the software or the product. STLC refers to a testing process\nwith specific steps to be executed in a defined sequence to ensure that the\nquality goals are meeting. In the STLC process, each activity is carried out in\na planned and systematic way. Each phase has different goals and deliverables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    STLC Phases<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Software\nTesting Life Cycle consists of six (generic) phases:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Requirements Analysis<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Test Planning<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Test Case Designing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Test Environment Setup<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Test Execution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Defect Reporting<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Test closure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

      Requirement Analysis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      During this phase, the test team studies the\nrequirements closely from a testing point of view to identify the testable\nrequirements. The QA team interacts with various stakeholders (Client, Business\nAnalyst, Technical Leads, System Architects etc) to understand their\nrequirements in detail. Requirements could be either Functional (defining what\nthe software must do) or Non-Functional (defining system performance \/security\navailability )<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Test Planning<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      In this stage, a Senior QA manager will\ndetermine a test plan based on the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Preparation of test plan\/strategy\ndocument for various types of testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Test tool selection<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Test effort estimation<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Resource planning and determining\nroles and responsibilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • The test environment required for\nthe entire project.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Types of Testing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Software testing can be of two types. Manual\nand Automation testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Manual\nTesting<\/strong>: Manual testing includes testing software\nmanually, without the help of any automated tool or any script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Automation\nTesting<\/strong>: Automation testing, which is also known as\nTest Automation, is a method where the tester writes scripts and uses another\nsoftware to test the product. Automation Testing is used to re-run the test\nscenarios, which were run manually, quickly and repeatedly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Test Case Designing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        Test Case Designing is the phase of STLC where\ntesting team writes down the detailed test cases and prepares the test data (if\nany) required for testing. The Requirement Traceability Matrix (RTM), an\nindustry-accepted format for tracking requirements where each test case is\nmapped with the requirement, is prepared in this phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Levels\nof Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • Unit testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Integration testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • System testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Regression testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Performance testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Load Testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Security testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Compatibility testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • Usability testing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • User acceptance testing<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          Test Environment Setup<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          Setting up the test environment is a vital\npart of the STLC. The test environment decides on which conditions software is\ntested, which is an independent activity and can be started parallel with Test\nCase Development. During the process of setting up a testing environment, the\ntest team is not involved. The developer or customer creates a testing\nenvironment, which is based on a particular company. Meanwhile, the testing\nteam is required to do a readiness check (smoke testing) of the given\nenvironment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Test Execution<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          During this phase, the testers will carry out\nthe testing based on the test plans and test cases prepared. Bugs will be\nreported back to the development team for correction and retesting will be\nperformed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

          Defect Reporting & Defect Life Cycle<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          The Bug Life Cycle starts with a software\nbug\/behaviour and ends when the assigned developer fixes the bug. A bug when\nfound should be communicated and assigned to a developer who can fix it. Once\nfixed, the problem area should be retested. A confirmation should be made to\nverify that the fix has not caused any other issues. The life cycle can get\nvery complicated and can be difficult to track, making it imperative to have a\nbug\/defect tracking system in place. The various phases of bug life cycle are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Open<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Accepted<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Not Accepted\/Won\u2019t fix<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Pending<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Fixed<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • Re-Open<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Test Closure<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

            This phase evaluates the cycle completion\ncriteria based on Test coverage, Quality, Cost, Time, Critical Business Objectives,\nand Software Prepare test metrics based on the above parameters. The team then\ndiscusses what all went good and which area needs to be improved and then\nprepares a test closure report accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Software testing plays a key role in\nmaintaining the quality of the software shipped. A software tester has to\nensure that the product is bug-free and be of the best quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
