Agenda:

Basic Fundamentals of Testing:

• Overview on Software Testing

• Importance of Testing in day to day IT Industry

• Career Growth

• Future Work Place


Software:

• A set of computer programs and minimal data (basic data)

required to perform a task in a particular system is called

software.

• Eg: Banking Software

Telecom Software

Email Software

Retail Software ….


Testing:

• It is a process of checking the system throughout the

maintenance.

• Testing is the process of executing a program or system

with the intent of finding errors.


Error, Defect, Bug & Failure…

• Any incorrect human action that produces incorrect results

is called error.

• Error in coding is called bug.

• Deviation between expected behaviour to actual behaviour is

called defect.

• Problems identified by end user while using a system is

called failures.

• Note: Errors results in defects and the presence of defects

results in failure of the product.

Day to Day Importance of Testing in Industry…

To ensure error free Systems.

To ensure customer satisfaction.

To provide clear documentary proof.

To deliver Quality Systems.


Quality?

• It is not only the justification

of requirement but also it

must be user-friendly to

customers.


What Happens to System without Testing…

• Loss of money.

• Loss of time.

• Damage to business reputation.

• Injury or death…


Why Testing?

Software is likely to have faults.

To learn about the reliability of the software.

Failures can be very expensive.

To avoid being used by customers.

To stay in business.

To Build confidence.

To Demonstrate conformance to requirements.

Find faults.


Why Testing?

Reduce costs.

Show system meets user needs.

Assess the software quality.

To ensure error free software.


Why does Software Application will have defects?

• Incorrect requirements

• Wrong designs

• Poor coding

• Complex business logic

• Complex technology

• Frequently changing requirements


Why does Software Application will have defects?

• In adequate schedule

• Improper planning

• Lack of Domain knowledge

• Work pressure


How to Test?

• It is a process of identifying defects, isolating defects,

subjecting to the rectification(developers) in order to

ensure error free software and hence customer

satisfaction.


Qualities of Test Engineer…

• Good Communication

• Strong Technical Knowledge

• Creativity

• Good Judgment Skills

• No Compromise in Quality

• Test to break attitude

• Diplomatic

• Quality Oriented mind set up

• Patience


Software Testing Types:

• Manual testing

• Automation testing


Manual Testing:

• This type includes the testing of the 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 test the Software to identify any un-expected

behavior or bug.

• There are different stages for manual testing like unit

testing, Integration testing, System testing and User

Acceptance testing.


Manual Testing:

• Testers use test plan, test cases or test scenarios to

test the 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 scripts and

uses another software to test the software.

• This process involves automation of a manual

process.

• Automation Testing is used to re-run the test scenarios

that were performed manually, quickly and repeatedly.


Automation Testing:

• Apart from regression testing, Automation testing is

also used to test the application from load,

performance and stress point of view.

• It increases the test coverage; improve accuracy, saves

time and money in comparison to manual testing.


Software Testing Automation Tools:

• Functional & Regression Testing Tools

• Test Management/ Defect Tracking Tools

• Performance Testing Tools


Functional Testing Tools:

• UFT (Unified Functional Testing Tool)

• QTP (Quick Test Professional)

• Selenium

• Win Runner

• Silk Test

• Test Complete

• IBM Rational Functional Tester…


Test Management Tools:

• ALM (Application Life Cycle Management)

• QC (Quality Center)

• Test Director

• IBM Rational Quality Manager (RQM)

• Silk meter

• Bugzilla

• Clear Quest (CQ)…..


Performance Testing Tools:

• Load Runner

• IBM Rational Performance Testing Tool (RPT)

• J-Meter

• Web Load

• Silk Performer…

Custom Software

Software is developed for a specific costomer requirement

Source code is the IP of the customer

COTS

Software is developed for generic

requirements of a market

Software is distributed under a

license agreement

Source code is protected by copy

right and IP is owned by the

developer

Difference between Custom Software and COTS
