    Definitions & Keywords


    Quality Assurance (SQA)
    set of activities designed to ensure that the development and/or maintenance process is adequate to ensure a system will meet its objectives.

    Quality Control
    set of activities designed to evaluate a developed work product.

    Testing
    process of executing a system with the intent of finding defects.

    Methods Of Testing
    Black Box Testing White Box Testing Gray Box Testing Manual Testing Automated Testing

    Black Box Testing


    An external perspective of the test object to derive test cases. These tests can be functional or nonfunctional. The test designer selects valid and invalid input and determines the correct output. There is no knowledge of the test object's internal structure.
    9

    White Box Testing


    Uses an internal perspective of the system to design test cases based on internal structure. It requires programming skills to identify all paths through the software. Applicable at the unit, integration and system levels of the software testing process

    10

    Gray Box Testing


    involves having access to internal data structures and algorithms for purposes of designing the test cases, but testing at the user, or black-box level. is particularly important when conducting integration testing between two modules of code written by two different developers

    11

    Manual & Automated Testing


    Manual Testing
    process of manually testing software for defects. tester has to play the role of an end user.

    Automated Testing
    use of software to control the execution of tests. need for manual testing process to be in place. is more economic. can be expensive at times.
    12

    Levels of Testing
    Unit Testing Integration Testing System Testing Acceptance Testing

    13

    Types of Testing
    Regression Testing Positive & Negative Testing Functional Testing Non-functional Testing

    14

    System Testing
    Testing conducted on a complete, integrated system to evaluate the system's compliance with its specified requirements erformed on the entire system in the context of a Functional Requirement Specification(s) (FRS) and/or a System Requirement Specification (SRS)

    15

    Regression Testing
    What?
    re-runs previously passing tests on the modified software to ensure that the modifications haven't unintentionally caused a regression of previous functionality

    When?
    can be performed at any or all of the above test levels

    Often automated

    16

    Positive and Negative Testing


    Positive testing:
    Doing something it was supposed to do

    Negative testing:
    Doing something it was not supposed to do

    Simply testing the application beyond and below of the specified limits Examples

    17

    Non Functional Software Testing


    Performance testing
    checks to see if the software can handle large quantities of data or users. This is generally referred to as software scalability.

    Usability testing
    needed to check if the user interface is easy to use and understand.

    Security testing
    essential for software which processes confidential data and to prevent system intrusion by hackers.

    Internationalization and localization


    needed to test these aspects of software, for which a pseudo localization method can be used
    18

    Non Functional Software Testing


    Graphical user interface testing Usability testing Load testing Volume testing Stress testing

    19

    Non Functional Software Testing


    Security testing Scalability testing Sanity testing Smoke testing Accessibility testing, including compliance with:
    Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 Section 508 Amendment to the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Web Accessibility Initiative (WAI) of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

    More about test automation


    General Approaches:
    Code-driven testing
    key feature of Agile software development use of testing frameworks such as Junit, Nunit, etc. better code coverage

    Graphical user interface testing


    record and playback features requires little or no software development testing of web sites
    22

    Automation Frameworks
    Data-driven testing Modularity-driven testing Keyword-driven testing Hybrid testing Model-based testing

    Defects
    condition in a software product which does not meet a software requirement an error in coding or logic that causes a program to malfunction or to produce incorrect/unexpected results

    Software Testing proves that defects exist but NOT that defects do not exist.
