Software Testing - Methods

There are different methods that can be used for software testing. This chapter briefly describes the methods available. Black-Box Testing The technique of testing without having any knowledge of the interior workings of the application is called black-box testing. The tester is oblivious to the system architecture and does not have access to the source code. Typically, while performing a black-box test, a tester will interact with the system's user interface by providing inputs and examining outputs without knowing how and where the inputs are worked upon. The following table lists the advantages and disadvantages of black-box testing. Advantages Disadvantages Well suited and efficient for large code segments. Code access is not required. Clearly separates user's perspective from the developer's perspective through visibly defined roles. Large numbers of moderately skilled testers can test the application with no knowledge of implementation,

Types Of Testing

Image
  Hi All, This is my new post which is extension to the previous post This section describes the different types of testing that may be used to test a software during SDLC. Manual Testing Manual testing includes testing a software manually, i.e., without using any automated tool or any script. In this type, the tester takes over the role of an end-user and tests the software to identify any unexpected behavior or bug. There are different stages for manual testing such as                         1.Unit testing                        2.Integration testing                        3. System testing                        4.User acceptance testing. Testers use test plans, test cases, or test scenarios to test a software to ensure the completeness of testing. Manual testing also includes exploratory testing, as testers explore the software to identify errors in it. Automation Testing Automation testing, which is also known as Test Automation, is when the tester writes s

Software Testing - Overview

Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. In simple words, testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual requirements. According to ANSI/IEEE 1059 standard, Testing can be defined as - A process of analyzing a software item to detect the differences between existing and required conditions (that is defects/errors/bugs) and to evaluate the features of the software item. Who does Testing? It depends on the process and the associated stakeholders of the project(s). In the IT industry, large companies have a team with responsibilities to evaluate the developed software in context of the given requirements. Moreover, developers also conduct testing which is called  Unit Testing . In most cases, the following professionals are involved in testing a system within their respective capacities: Software Tester

Software Testing Dictionary

HI Friends, Here i am writing for small introduction of Software testing. Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find that whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. Testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors or missing requirements in contrary to the actual desire or requirements. Audience This dictionary is an effort to put almost all the terms related to Software Testing at one place and explain them with suitable examples. The target audience for this dictionary is Software Testing Professionals, Software Quality Experts, and Software Developers. Prerequisites Before proceeding with the terms given in this dictionary, you should have a basic understanding of software development life cycle (SDLC). A basic understanding of software programming using any programming language is also required.
