This blog is for everyone who want to learn Software Testing and also to create a tester's mindset and the vision that a software tester has towards any application.
First, the basics. The term "regression" is used to describe the decay, weakening or degeneration of software. Software is modified to add enhancements to it, fix known defects, make performance improvements, make the code more maintainable or make the code compliant to patterns. But, software can regress when it is modified. This can happen in a number of ways:
a. The faulty design is re-used to create an enhancement
You have been handed an application with no requirements. You are supposed to test it. Can you do it? Sure, you can. Check the following behaviors first.
Let us begin with discussing what is a Test Strategy! As you know, Strategy means using the resources at one's disposal to achieve the desired objectives effectively. Test strategy means the plan that details how the testing objectives would be met effectively.
A Test Automation Framework commonly consists of the implementation of certain concepts and code that gives a jump-start or provides support to one or more test automation projects. Before you design or enhance your Test Automation Framework, you should identify the objectives that you want to achieve with it.
Test Automation Framework features
The desired features of your Automation Framework may include:
Here are some funny things that testers in various companies hear from their project managers. Enjoy.
1. You need two days to write test cases!? You already have the requirements specification. Just copy and paste from it.
We know that we do not find all the bugs in the application under test (given that the application at hand is not simple). However, we do want to discover and report the most and the best bugs that we can. You need more ideas if you want to find more or better bugs than you do at present.
1. Understand Requirements Thoroughly: Ensure you have a deep understanding of the software requirements and specifications. This helps in identifying deviations and inconsistencies in the application.
Here are 50 key points outlining the roles and responsibilities of a test lead:
1. Test Planning: Develop comprehensive test plans detailing the strategy, objectives, schedule, estimation, and deliverables.
