Start your review of Introduction to Software Testing

Atila Romero 3 years ago Gives a solid foundation on testing theory and concepts. The practical part has an exercise on writting a test plan and Java exercises on unit tests, code coverage, and testing doubles (like mocking). I did not like the exercise on writting a test plan, I considered it not practical, maybe a little outdated. I do not think it fits well in an Agile/Lean/DevOps approach. But there was only a single one of this kind in the course. The coding exercises were good. I wish it explored more complex scenarios, like integration and system tests, but then the course would be more advanced. Since this is the first course of 4 in a specialization, this makes sense as it is. Helpful

Software Testing Questions and Answers (Part 1)

In this tutorial, we will answer some of the questions raised by our readers. We are planning to start a weekly column on “Software Testing Questions and Answers” as we get dozens of email queries on different Software Testing concepts.

Instead of answering them privately, we will put them collectively in posts so that many similar questions from the other readers could also get addressed simultaneously. You can also submit your questions in the comments section of the posts and we will revert back to you.

Before submitting any questions, we would strongly recommend that you search here on the site to see if your queries have been answered previously.

Software Testing Questions and Answers

Let’s kick start with some interesting questions.

Shivika asks:

“I have been given the assignment to test a UI based application page. They want me to break the functionality in any way. The first page is a Sign up page containing fields like username password, email, URL address field and some checkbox selection options.

I have tried all the ways in which I can test the page. Can you also please suggest what could be the other possible ways in which we can test the page?”

Let’s cover some major negative Test Cases to break the Sign Up page:

#1) See the limit of the username field i.e., the data type of this field in DB and the field size. Try adding more characters to this field than the field size limit. See how the application responds to this.

#2) Repeat the above case for the number fields. Insert numbers beyond field storage capacity. This is typically a boundary test.

#3) For the username field, try adding numbers and special characters in various combinations. (Characters like !@#$%^&*()_+}{“:?><,./;'[]). If not allowed, specific messages should be displayed to the user.

#4) Try the above special character combination for all the input fields on your sign up page that have some validations. Like email address fields, URL field validations, etc.

#5) Many applications crash for the input field containing ‘ (single quote) and ” (double quote). Example fields like: “Vijay’s web”. Try it in all the input fields one by one.

#6) Try adding only numbers to the input fields having validation to enter only characters and vice versa.

#7) If URL validation is there then see different rules for URL validation and add URLs not fitting to the rules to observe the system behavior.

For Example, URLs like vijay.com/?q=vijay’s!@#$%^&*()_+}{“:?><,./;'[]web_page Also add URLs containing HTTP:// and https:// while inserting into the URL input box.

#8 ) If the signup page is of some steps like step 1 step 2 etc. then try changing the parameter values directly into the browser address bar. Often URLs are formatted with certain parameters to maintain proper user steps. Try altering all those parameters directly without doing anything on the sign-up page.

#9) Do some monkey testing manual or automation (i.e. Insert whatever comes to mind or randomly type over the keyboard) and you will come up with some observations.

#10) See if any page is showing JavaScript error either in the left browser at the bottom corner or enable the browser settings to display a popup message for any JavaScript error.

These are all the Negative test cases. We assume that you have already tested the same sign-up page with all valid cases to check if the application is working fine as per the requirements.

If the above cases are not breaking the application page then don’t forget to praise the developer 🙂

If you have some killer test cases to break such applications that you learned from your experience, then you can specify them in the comments below.

Jayant asks:

“Normally freshers passing out have a state of mind as “We are freshers”, recently pass outs from college expect the companies to recruit them and should consider the knowledge base they have and further should impact their training. In true terms, what is meant by fresher for an industry?”

That’s indeed a good question. Almost all the freshers think on similar lines. But let’s think from an employer point of view. The employer will think “Why should we hire candidates with little knowledge base and experience? as they need training first before assigning any work?

Well, fortunately not all employers think like this and that’s why freshers are getting the jobs and training on the board. Thanks to the booming IT industry. Demand will continue for freshers who have a good educational background and appropriate problem-solving skills.

The tremendous growth in the number of engineering colleges resulted in a significant increase in the number of graduates passing out each year. The gap is also increasing between the skills of graduates and the expectations of the companies.

Now let’s focus on what the industry looks specifically at fresh graduates?

Typically it will include:

Problem-solving and Analytical skills
Technical skills
Communication and interpersonal skills
Leadership skills
Extra activities like foreign languages, organization skills, etc.

So it will always be better if you try to achieve any experience or skill before trying for any graduate jobs. You are one step ahead than those freshers who have no experience at all.

This work experience typically includes:

#1) Internship: Internship work is done in any company during or after graduation. It may be a free or paid internship.

#2) Sandwich courses: In some courses, industrial training is included in the curriculum itself. It is typically 6 months to 1 year in most of the universities. You can include this project training in your resume.

#3) Special skill achievements through classes or companies: Training taken from some institute or companies can be included in your work experience.

#4) Projects: Projects accomplished for commercial or research purposes. These are the paid or certification projects accomplished from companies during their graduation years.

All the above-mentioned work will definitely count as an experience as you get an actual idea of the company, teamwork, and company working culture. Find out your area of expertise and get to know what best you can offer to the employer before hunting for jobs.

Companies always look for all-rounded candidates who can effectively utilize their skills into projects from universities, experience, and extra activities.

@#278, Yes, Swapna is correct.

And also you can have environment variables(.xml or .txt file),

1) Declare all these kind of variables in a text file (variables.txt),

strURL = “http://192.166.10.104/login.jsp” strBrowser = “C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe”

2) In your QTP test, File >> Settings> Environment >> User-defined >> Export >> Browse this file variables.txt >> Apply, now you can see all the variables defined in the variables.txt in the Environment area.

3) Use the below statements in your QTP test, strTempURL = Environment.Value(“url”) systemutil.Run strBrowser,strTempURL

Hope this helps.

Non-functional testing covers that part of the application in which the functionality of the application is irrelevant. For example, look and feel[GUI] testing.

Negative testing is nothing but testing the functionality with invalid inputs and conditions

Hi all, I’m planning to do phd.n thinking abt website usability testing.can anybdy guide me thr the process like hypothesis etc. thanx

@ Dipti , Samples questions you will get from google itself.

http://www.google.co.in/search?q=software+testing+intrview+questions&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a

We can’t be sure that interviewer will ask only these question. Try to find out some details about the company from About us page, Collect the technologies which they are using. Even though we have more experience in our resume, we may lack of theoretical knowledge of those cases, so brush up yourself with some basic question like what is testing, QA?, QC?, Verification?, validation?, unit?, integrity?, system?, acceptance?, load?, stress? volume? Equivalence partitioning? boundary value analysis? error guessing? automation? manual & automation? some tools knowledge?, which bug tracker u have used?, used of bug tracker? bug? error? fault? mistake? technologies used like, Java, .net, php, Cake Php and & environment like OS Commerce, Jumla, LAMP etc., SDLC?, STLC? testing models? and some live experience may help you to answer lively many questions. Having DB knowledge is more advantage nowadays…

Dear Ms.Prachi (#290), Hope it should be “Planned Passed” instead of “Planned Passed Target”!

Purely speaking, No, There is no need for a test engineer to estimate the “Planned Passed” (may be “Planned Passed Target”).

If under any circumstances, If required, But that should not be based on previous testing experience. But based on the SRS/PRD.

The only significance of this column in test report is, Just to estimate percentage of pass criteria before actual execution.

This is not required actually. As you are discussing about this, means that, may be your client is looking for that column as well – I guess!

A simple test plan consists of: 1. Name (project_version) 2. Test Name (field/functionality name) 3. Design step (Summary of the test case) 4. Description (Actual steps to be followed) 5. Expected Result 6. Actual Result 7. Pass/Fail Criteria 8. Priority 9. Estimated Time (average time to execute the test case, it will be by default 30 min to each test case). 9. Platform (CLI/BBI) 10. Notes (any notes if required)

If client is willing means, Then no other way, We have to add.

2. Hello All

1) Tester will be having more functional knowledge and there by testing the application for the usablity and developer will be having the knowledge in the screen only for which he /She has coded.He might not be having the Complete picture of the Biz. 2) Interface Testing and system tsting are not possible at the developers end

So the above lines of quotes from verious testing professionals to reply Mr Raj who had asked the similar question WHY TESTERS? which is close to your one does testing happens in every company YES it does without product delivery is not probably done.

hi This is my first time iam posting the Question. Firstly i want to thank since it is really a wonderful & very usefulsite.

If possible send me QTP materials, work proces, FAQ. Since i am preparing for interviews,having 2+ yrs of experience in manual testing. My mail ID Is [email protected]

thanks in advance

What information need not be included in a test incident report: a) how to fix the fault b) how to reproduce the fault c) test environment details d) severity, priority e) the actual and expected outcomes why cant it be ‘a’. please explain?

Can any one let me know what is Testing methodology and in which methodology using for Testing the Application?If any types available?

Hiii…. I need d details of ticking box testing, mutation testing, class testing n GUI testing……… kindly mail me at [email protected] ………..thanks

Interesting, I never heard this – Ticking testing.

But after googling it, got to understand that, “Ticking box testing”, which involves not doing any testing.

Sounds like its a part of UAT, where customer can have a list of checkpoints with Y/N ‘Tick-boxes’ to validate the application by the end user. That means, there is NO testing involved.

I am just wondering where did you come across with this question.

Can any one help me with real time situations– like how a test case is created how to begin with……?

Hi Everyone

Hi, I have a small doubt. Please clarify. I’m doing manual testing on a web app. In the same website there are two different pages for logins, each of it having different purpose. For example, http://www.abc.com/xyzlogin.aspx and http://www.abc.com/pqrlogin.aspx . I logged in to both the pages in the same browser, but different tabs or windows. Now, if i log out at one of the sites, the user at the other site also getting logged out, even though the login names are different. Is this the behavior of any other sites in general? Is it acceptable?

Hi Vijay, we recently moved from usa to hyderabad, i am a regular visitor of your site and i have learned many things, would you please suggest me how to find a better opportunity. Thanks

do u have exp in other area/fields?? if u have then think abt the expecting in S/w testing environment.

if u are a fresher never think about salary. getting a chance is a gud thing. remember one thing “if u have talent, money will follow u, if u dnt have it u have to follow every thing/one”

the course fee structure depends on the institute and duration is not more than 2months.

wish u all the best for ur future.

Give me ur email id or else drop me a test mail to [email protected] I have an word file, hope that’ll be helpful to u and will mail u that one.

Cheers zakir

USE CASE: A use case is a description of a system’s behavior as it responds to a request that originates from outside of that system.

The use case technique is used in software and systems engineering to capture the functional requirements of a system. Use cases describe the interaction between a primary actor—the initiator of the interaction—and the system itself, represented as a sequence of simple steps. Actors are something or someone which exists outside the system under study, and that take part in a sequence of activities in a dialogue with the system, to achieve some goal: they may be end users, other systems, or hardware devices. Each use case is a complete series of events, described from the point of view of the actor.

TEST CASE: A test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied. It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied.

Test cases are often incorrectly referred to as test scripts. Test scripts are lines of code used mainly in automation tools.

Written test cases are usually collected into test suites.

1, i want to know what is a difference b/w call by value and call by reference in a library function in QTP.

First of all thanks to your comments,iam working in chennai,i did not where to study the testing course. do you any institute.I need your help.

A motivating discussion is worth comment. There’s no doubt that that you should write more on this subject, it may not be a taboo subject but usually people do not talk about such issues. To the next! Many thanks!!

What are responsiblity and apporch of End to End test manager?

Dear Ms. Jyoti (#297), FYI that, It is referred as ticking-box testing which is a widely used philosophy of testing, in which no testing is done after the project is fairly well debugged — the program is given to customer’s for trial and acceptance (sd/- Robert Kruse)

Hope now you are clear – I guess!

Is it easy work to find bugs in an application?

Easy when we do these ;

1: Check for inconsistency within the product 2: Check for the Inconsistency on the purpose of the product 3: Check for inconsistency with the product versions 4: Check for inconsistency with the image a company is trying to portray 5: Check for inconsistency with a comparable product 6: Check for inconsistency with claims that are made about the product 7: Check for Inconsistency with user expectations on the product 8: Check for the Inconsistency in regards to legal requirements. 9:Talk to developers on how they have coded a piece of function(s). This may sometimes reveal scenarios that they may have been missed out and hence chances of finding bugs becomes higher for those scenarios. 10: Give rest to your brain and eyes. Tired eyes may miss, an easy to see bugs.

can u plz explain about agile testing?

Hi folk, This is lokesh ,i’m woking as TEstor now i’m searching new job if there any req please forword me..

Test Cases can be derived from the Scenarios. If you want to do write test cases for validation of text box, you can write Scenarios or Test Cases. Scenarios: Scenario 1. Check with the valid input(write the Expected Result) Scenario 2. Check with the invalid input (write the Expected Result) In Scenarios you can just mention Valid & Invalid and while testing try with all permutations and combinations.

In Test Cases you have to mention all the Permutations and Combination as a Case.

This is my live experience. Pls Correct me If I am wrong..

can anyone let me know, what is the difference between Test Scenario & Test Condition.

ur giving good questions to us govardhan sir.but i have some doubts .what is the diff between the bug&error.def for thread testing?

Dear Mr. Venkatesh (# 326), In 7 months, I hope you’re not thorough with manual testing concepts. Before going to automation, Just make sure that, You’re all most learnt all testing process pertaining to manual instead of just running ahead for automation. Just advice.

If you’re interested in functionality testing, Then go ahead with QTP tool, If you’re interested in performance testing, Then go ahead with LoadRunner.

Decision is yours. As I see (based on requirement, Calls are little more for QTP rather than LoadRunner. If you’re really interested in performance, Forget about calls, Just go ahead and learn LoadRunner. Because, Your interest can break the interviews though calls are little less).

Hi Chandana, As you asked question about difference between QA and testing……… Quality of product includes two things quality assurance and quality control(testing). 1.Quality assurance is related to the process done for quality of product.Where quality control is related to product(meet the final specification). 2. Audits in an industry is the example of QA where as Testing is the example for QC. 3.Output of QC(testing) is input for QA.If we find any problem in QC(testing) we need to change or correct our testing process(QA). 4.QA is productive in nature where QC is detective in nature.

Reg Test plan you can visit http://jaanujeeva.blogspot.com/2009/01/test-plan.html

My Answer : 1) the limit of username field. I mean the data type of this field in DB and the field size. Try adding more characters to this field than the field size limit. 2) Repeat above case for number fields. Insert number beyond the field storage capacity. This is called typically a boundary test. 3) For username field try adding numbers and special characters in various combinations. (Characters like !@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]). If not allowed specific alert message should be displayed to the user. 4) all the above above special character combination for all the input fields on your sign up page having some validations. Like Email address field, URL field validations etc. 5) Many applications crash for the input field containing ‘ (single quote) and ” (double quote) examples field like: “Vijay’s web”. you can try it in all the input fields one by one. 6) Try adding only numbers to input fields having validation to enter only characters and vice versa. 7) If URL validation is there then see different rules for url validation and add urls not fitting to the rules to observe the system behavior. Example urls like: vijay.com/?q=vijay’s!@#$%^&*()_+}{”:?><,./;’[]web_page. Also add urls containing http:// and https:// while inserting into url input box. 8 ) If your sign up page is of some steps like step 1 step 2 etc. then try changing parameter values directly into browser address bar. Many times urls are formatted with some parameters to maintain proper user steps. Try altering all those parameters directly without doing anything actually on the sign up page. 9) Do some monkey testing manually or automating (i.e. Insert whatever comes in mind or random typing over keyboard) you will come up with some observations. 10) See if any page is showing JavaScript error either at the browser left bottom corner or enable the browser settings to display popup message to any JavaScript error.

few years back I was sticky to all these tips… These are known as negative test cases.

Once we used to do in this way .. sometimes we forget to do with the right data. We don’t even if we give correct and valid data application may not react accordingly.. In that case try always with valid data once and than do monkey testing.

Imagine you are the interviewer hope you must be statisfied in this answer right? butttt …..

Atlast …. My Interviwer was expecting me to say that User name should be “unique”

I don’t know whats your interviewer was expecting from you?

Anyhow I got my Cup tea!

Hi i know the expact differances between smoke and Sanity testings ? and where it is used ? when we will use these once? pls give me the answer

– Penetration testing (also called pen testing) is the practice of testing a computer system, network or Web application to find vulnerabilities that an attacker could exploit.

Pen tests can be automated with software applications or they can be performed manually. Either way, the process includes gathering information about the target before the test (reconnaissance), identifying possible entry points, attempting to break in (either virtually or for real) and reporting back the findings.

The main objective of penetration testing is to determine security weaknesses. A pen test can also be used to test an organization’s security policy compliance, its employees’ security awareness and the organization’s ability to identify and respond to security incidents.

Penetration tests are sometimes called white hat attacks because in a pen test, the good guys are attempting to break in.

Pen test strategies include:

Targeted testing Targeted testing is performed by the organization’s IT team and the penetration testing team working together. It’s sometimes referred to as a “lights-turned-on” approach because everyone can see the test being carried out.

External testing This type of pen test targets a company’s externally visible servers or devices including domain name servers (DNS), e-mail servers, Web servers or firewalls. The objective is to find out if an outside attacker can get in and how far they can get in once they’ve gained access.

Internal testing This test mimics an inside attack behind the firewall by an authorized user with standard access privileges. This kind of test is useful for estimating how much damage a disgruntled employee could cause.

Blind testing A blind test strategy simulates the actions and procedures of a real attacker by severely limiting the information given to the person or team that’s performing the test beforehand. Typically, they may only be given the name of the company. Because this type of test can require a considerable amount of time for reconnaissance, it can be expensive.

Double blind testing Double blind testing takes the blind test and carries it a step further. In this type of pen test, only one or two people within the organization might be aware a test is being conducted. Double-blind tests can be useful for testing an organization’s security monitoring and incident identification as well as its response procedures.

Hi Ruchi Yes offcourse u can but hav to get prepared by going 4 some rite classes.

I completed B.Sc (Computers) if i will do the course for testing tools it will help me .Iam fresher so i will get the job

Replying to Jayant:

Well, Vinod has mentioned most of the things that a fresher should have, in addition to his/her degree. Altough its true that a fresher will be in a state of mind thinking “we are freshers”, but that won’t help anyway. You can’t keep on saying that, instead go attain some crash courses in the subject which you are intrested , that definatey will be a value add. “You have to run pretty fast in this life even just to stay still “. To get into a good company and to get a first break, you need to have that extra THING in you. This can be anything what Vijay has mentioned above or what I have listed in my post. The most important thing that a company look into a fresher is his/her Learning Ability, Analytical skills, Aptitude and the Attitude . The one who is recruiting you might have gone through same phase of life one or other day. They do know the ability and limitations of a fresher. Most of the companies have their own inhouse trainings going for months. A fresher also needs to have patience and confidence. I have seen many people giving up after a few months struggle. Keep learning and try to stay in touch with the people in the industry you know. The best thing is keep visiting the tech forums and tech blogs.

Ultimately, fresher for corporates is the person passionate about technology and having the zest to learn it.

Thanks for the details. IN many of the cases during my visit to corporate there takes the discusison on the similar ground towards how the fresher candidtes can be well technically groomed towards the exact fit for their equriement and hence we have taken an aproach to the institutions right at the inceptio level with the inpus form indystrh client and offered on-campus sandwith courses at nomimnal cost and further FREE internship with our cleitns for a tenure of 90 days full time to work on projects to sharpen their skills which they are going to get work experience certificate form the client. I hope this will bridge the gap between the freshers strength adn industry need of fresher with adequate experience as well hands on. Regards Jayant

Usability testing is like testing how easy is the application to use for the user.

Consider a application whose target audience are general public (who know nothing abt s/w). Say to use the application u need to make a registeration. While registeration it will ask to enter the LOGIN ID. Now what is the login name? A description needs to be given for that mentioning what the term LOGIN ID stands for. This is very very simple example of Usabiity testing.

While carrying this testing the very first and important thing to know is what the application is and who the intended USERS are? Without knowing this your testing will not be useful.

Difference between Close and Cancel? Close: It will close the window, application. Cancel: It will take you back to the previous page, screen.

ALL, When you post the question make sure that you give your views/answers to the question you post. This will help the person answering to understand how much you know and what way he needs to answer you. Else it will be more generic and you may not get the expected answer.

1. Latent Defect

Latent defects are those defects that still remain in the software product even when delivered to the customer.

These can be identified effectively with Inspections.

2. Bug Density

Bug density defines the testing metrics.

It is cost-effective for software practitioners to monitor and control the quality of software from the early phases of development.

Ratio of the number of bugs to the number of code defines the bug density

pl mail me [email protected]

All the conversations here are very useful. I have a question:

I am a QA(Manual) since 9 months.My package is 1.5lk pa There is an oppurtunity in my brothers company which is mobile testing on different OS used. The module is a stock product used in different OS of mobiles like blackberry,iphone etc. They need a Tester (Developer side Tester). He says i get a chance to write code in Jsp,Servlets and paid 3lk pa. But my sceniors here say its not useful as QA track is different and higher than Tester.

Someone kindly suggest me if waiting in QA track for automation is better or Should i move to my brothers company?

The project i work is being automated by next month. So i may get a chance in moving to automation and am planning my certification in HP(QTP)

k i got the answer by searching the google and the answer is “testing the software continuously throughout its development” means”It is a conceptual framework for software engineering that promotes development iterations throughout the life-cycle of the project.”

How do we do load testing practically at work for a website application? How we test a login page or other page performance when many users try to request the same page?

Have a nice day…….

Performanc testing can be done by manually and by using loadrunner.

if your company dosn’t have loadrunner, your company can do it manually, but the results wont be concurrent. it varies from one iteration to another iteration.

consider a product has planned to do testing in 10 days and it should be released on the 11th day immediately?Due to some reasons product has got delayed in reaching to testing by 7 days. Now we have left with only 3 days . Now tell me is it possible to test the application and release the product within 3 days. If so how will u perform testing.

Hi All If we have a ongoing application, like Hotel reservation system which is under development since last 2 years and will be under development for next 2 years which automation tool should we use for it. If anyone have the answer than please mail me on [email protected]

Is there is scope in this industry that i get job instantly?

Hello, This is in response to the Query Raised by Namrata whether is there any scope for her in testing if she wills to enter.

As u have completed ur Be with Cse in the year 2003 and since u possess 5 years of gap ,I think u have a Gud chance of making it into Testing. But the pros and cons are always there for any field,rite? So First U need to Learn Testing thoroughly (MANUAL and Automation). I bet Manual testing is easy .This will be like a Theory dealing wit some of the Important concepts.But Namrata the only factor u need to worrry abt in manual is The Templates used in the Real time Environment. Since u said u have 5 yrs of gap after ur Be(2003). U need to be perfect in all those aspects . Coming to the Automation, Im sure tat will also be an easy for u as u have some computer knwledge,since u r a CSE student. In Automation, u need to be Perfect in Scripting Part. Im sure u might have heard abt Java script, Vbsript ?? rite?..If so.. that woud be handy for u in understanding the Script. There are few Automation Tools available in the market, like…Qtp,LoadRunner,Winrunner,Silktest,RationalRobot,SqaSuite and so on….. So if u learn Qtp, there the Scripting language used is VB Script…. Scripting languages vary from Tool to Tool. Namrata, If at all u r projecting with 5 yrs of exp in testing , then u need to knw the Real time Environment and all the Templates used in the Testing. All in can say abt testing is,Manual is quiet easy ,But u need to concentrate more on the Automation tool(Choose any of the automation tool and be perfect in that). Ppl use qtp ,which is easy and it is used for Functional testing.so itz up to u to go for Qtp or any other tools. Wish u a gud luck in the Testing Namrata..Hope u do wel and Be confident in ur answering !. I m working in the Testing platform and so i just gave u my view.. If itz beyond ur reach, Then just Forgive me Namrata. Regards, Me.Gud luck 4ur career!

can any1 plz tell me is System testing can be done manually?? or is it require various tools for each System testing type for ex: Security testing does it require any tool 4test???

Hi folk, This is lokesh ,i’m woking as TEstor now i’m searching new job if there any req please forword me.. ================= lokesh

Hi Dear, I m new in testing field but you have such a excellent knowledge in his field thanks for sharing us.

Hi Shruti, Itz …Mercury Tool

Hey Ekta, You seems to be highly confused. Alright, here is the plan:

what you need to do is a software testing course, which ideally covers manual testing and automation(winrunner, Qtp, test director, etc) above that you need to have a little bit knowledge about scripting for enhancing your automation scripts.

Test plan templates are available on the internet, if you face difficulties finding it, i will send it out to you.

communication skill is a must as far as i am concerned, if you dont talk, how will i know what are you talking about, does not mean anyone is demanding an accent or free flowing english( good to have though) .

Bottomline is be strong with your basics.

Regards, Tiger2K

pls send any documents abt software testing

what is d difference between functional requirement & non functional requrement

Software testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding errors by applying valid as well as invalid inputs and verifying the expected outputs whether its as per the user perspectives.It can be done manually and automatically. Manual testing : Testing the software manually by applying positive(valid) and negative(invalid) inputs and verifying the expected outputs. There are mainly two types of Manual Testing. 1) Static Testing : Non execution based. 2) Dynamic Testing : Execution based. Automation Testing : Testing the software by using automated testing tools.

Ekta: Soft skills do not comprise of any programming language or some data base knowledge, soft skills are mostly your communication skills and how you present your technical knowledge out there! So with your technical knowledge and communication skills you are ready to take testing challenges. There is no limit for learning and again nothing can be learnt overnight. Some jobs need pre-requisites and some others will provide you on the job training.

please check out for STG or STC there in Chennai or take help of google to search one of it.

Dear frns i am hunting for a job in testing field.i have sound knowledge in manual testing.plz give the sites or any references to apply the same.

@ Ash – [email protected]

@ Ash We can do system testing by both manual and auto.

System testing falls within the scope of black box testing, and should require no knowledge of the inner design of the code or logic.

a. The purpose of Unit is to detect any inconsistencies in the single Module.

b. The purpose of integration testing is to detect any inconsistencies between the software units that are integrated together.

c.System testing is a more limiting type of testing; it seeks to detect defects both within the “inter-assemblages” and also within the system as a whole.

About internal, external and broken links in any website

An internal link allows you to link to another section on the same web page, so it basically scrolls the page up or down to the desired location. This is helpful to the user to quickly jump to the information he/she is looking for.

External link checks link for outgoing links. It can be any link to any other websites.

Broken link refers to a weak link which does not work while clicking the link. This might happen when the path is not defined clearly by the developer when writing the scripts. There are few sites which checks for broken links. For more details refer to this site http://validator.w3.org/

I am new to testing, could you please send me few test cases as an example.

This is the 1st time I am visiting your blog, its very impressive. It is really nice of you to provide this online help 🙂

I need some serious suggestions from you. I recently got placed in a highly reputed MNC and am working in application support for 1.5 months (trainee) and I find it very frustrating, specially the different shifts and the monotonous work (plus the office politics):( When I was in college I enjoyed testing and learning about it. I feel that I should do a job which I enjoy. I wanted to go into testing but my company offered me support job. Can you please suggest me what I need to do to switch to testing. They say I cant switch before 1 year. And things will change a lot in 1 year – -I will have a support job tag( we seriously dont work on any technology, just the tools) -As I couldnt work on any technology, what will I do?? The interviewer after 1 year will simply kick me out. -I am 2011 passed out, so applying in other mnc will not work. And I like my current company. I want to work here only, as a tester.

Do I need to do any course? I am IBM RFT certified, other than that I know unit testing (I have done unit test case on my college project). I am not sure as how testing in corporate works. Please enlighten me on that and procedure to switch as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot..

This is babu, doing testing course in manual testing. This is my first question. Please send me the answer for below question. what are the key challenges of testing? and also another request please send me some sites to apply for job in testing.

Dear Ms. Tejaswini (#313), Just say that, I’m going to cover the below: 1. User cannot see the exact strings. 2. User cannot do copy. 3. User can paste. 4. Right click should not work. 5. Field lenght validation. 6. Combination of strings/characters validation. 7. User entered data selection. 8. Selection of password strings using “shift + end/home”, and copying (by pressing “control + c”) and opening a notepad/wordpad/excel etc and doing paste (control + v), Should not work. 9. Password should get encrypted as per the encryption algorithm. (md5/sha). This testing can be done, by capturing the frame.

If you know, Then try to say/convey what you know. Don’t guess on your own, Because interviewers are intelligent enough to ask few more questions based on your answers.

If you don’t know, Better say, I don’t know.

Regards, Govardhan Reddy M.

Dear Ekta (# 329, # 330), A very valid question. Yes, If commercial tools are not available definitely we’ve to go for free wares. So, The solution is Badboy! tool. Using Badboy! tool, However it supports 1000 users (concurrent users), But recommended is 999 users only. So, For one more user, We need to run the Badboy! tool second time from the same client/user.

Means from one Badboy application, 999 users and from the second Badboy application one more user. Of course, At a time, We can load 1000 (simulate 1000 users) in a single Badboy! application, But the application may hang/crash – And needs the system to be reboot.

As we’re talking about interview, So just you can tell that, Using Badboy! – Which is a free tool, We can carry out the same testing instead of LoadRunner.

Have a great day ahead!

Regards, Govardhan Reddy M, Software Test Engineer. “Law of win says, Lets not do it in my way or your way, But lets do it in the best way”.

hai seniors iam madhan . i jst started my carrer as tester in my clge s iam dng mca 2nd year can any one guige me in testint basics……

Hi Ekta, The answer is very simple, use any performance testing tool like load runner or eloads . This tools provides you with a concept of Vuser who simulates the real time user actions. This way you can find out the performance. let me know if you have any doubts.

Can anyone help me with a resource to train a couple of resources on “Mobile Application Testing”. You can reach me on +91.8802951430

@Haripriya I’m sorry all on a sudden how can i answer all your questions please ask your doubts to vijay, george etc… also because they are the guys doing good job here.

Data consistency is very important in web application. Check for data integrity and errors while you edit, delete, modify the forms or do any DB related functionality. Check if all the database queries are executing correctly, data is retrieved correctly and also updated correctly. More on database testing could be load on DB, Security on DB etc… hey happy now…

Software testing is to check the correctness, completeness and quality of the software product and its main intention is to find defects. In order to check whether the actual result matches the excepted result.

I am having 2+ exp in manual testing and looking for job switch, can anyone plz send me the mock interview questions for the same?

Thanks Dipti

Ruchi, I am extermely sorry that i couldn’t give u any contact details of Banglore institue beacuse i never had been to bangalore. I from pune. If you could find Seed Infotech institue in Banglore then u can join it or SQTL institute.

1) SRS-> This is the spec (Functional spec) given by client/Vendor to develop/test the applicaiton, Based on this spec we will define HLD (usually Arch/sr.dev are the one who defines this-Based on the company strategy)

2) Project Arch-> Your question is incomplete. Let me know what project you are working on.

Dear Ms. Shilpa (# 324),

Mutation Testing: Developer does, By injecting mutants (small changes in a program), Just to see how far the program will malfunction (effect of the bug, severity of the bug). Here small changes in program refers to, Making the program with some errors. Class Testing: Part of developer testing. (Unit testing). Goal is to make sure that, Least case, Each class has to tested once (class has to be called and tested).

Any question one mail ask me,

I would like to know if anyone here has ‘Planned Passed Target’ in Test Execution Report? All I have in my report is Planned Execution, Actual Execution, Actual Passed , Actual Failed. DO I need to estimate the planned passed target based on the previous testing experience? If yes what is the significance on having Planned Passed Target in the report?

Why do we need to project planned passed scripts target?

Thanks, Prachi

what are the challenges you faced in your old company? I want answer for this question….

Can you give some suggestions on how can we test an application with business prespective like i know what is the basic functional flow in the application

but obviously the developer will not know it & he will surely miss them so what would be proper approach

say for example

Purchase Module – Raise Po , Approve it , Capture the GRN in stores

So apart from this how we can ensure that system will handle all the business flow

Billing Module (patient)

1. Capture the bill details , recieve the payment in Cashier Corporate patient – generate the bill for bill items segrregate the allowed & disallowed items in cashier & Rebilling corporate , recieve the corporate receipt against the corporate consoliddated bill

2. Rates – appropriate rates should be applied for the patient type like private , corporate, insurance , international, external

these are some basic scenarios apart from this any thing else can be tested in our project we dont focus much on field validations just mostly we focus on business scenarios which i found breaks the system very easily

Need your suggestions mail me

Thanks & Regards TOM

Dear Mr. Gohul Krishnan (# 297),

1. Writing a document (Test Design Document) with little information about the product/project/process, In which new features are added.

2. Means that, Just based on the HLD but not based on the LLD (because some times LLD won’t get authored by development team due to lack of time or because of busy with some other development tasks with high priority).

3. At a sudden, If the test engineer is asked to do testing in another project which is little relevant to the current project but not ease to understand easily that too by providing little period of time to read, understand, author test plan, execute, run and report.

4. Often it happens, When one of the vital team member left the company all of a sudden may be because of nice opportunity with another employer or due to some personal reasons.

During such times, Test engineer of the same team will be asked to carry out those tasks even though these tasks are new to this test engineer (how ever minimal documentation will be provided to understand what is what of that feature BUT WITH NO SUFFICIENT TIME).

Regards, Govardhan Reddy M, Software Test Engineer, “Law of win says, Lets not do it in my way or your way, But lets do it in the best way”.

I need documents related to Manual Testing, Quality Control Testing, Negative Test cases.

If it is possible pls send it to [email protected]

Dear Mr. Govardhan Reddy,

this my ID;

[email protected] plz give suggestions reg the above query thanx

Hey Venkaetsh, Itz silly that u want to change ur platform.. I wonder why u are looking out for a new job again.When u already possess 2 + yrs of exp in manual testing , then why dont u try out for any Automation tool, may be u may get some extra knowledge on automation too and who knws that may be handy in the near future, rite!!!. just think abt it and try to come out of the phobia of looking for a new job. Strictly speaking Venkatesh, the present scenario is not so gud in software as the Recission period is in full swing . My kind suggestion to u is, not to look for any new job till this year end. There are many ppl who r looking for jobs and u r the one who wants to go for a new job , how strange that is ! am i rite venkatesh?

So dont give up the present one. Contact me ,if u have any queries here is my mail id. [email protected] Regards, Me.

Could anybody provide me some online broken link checker?

#301,302 Thx swapna , vijayD..

one more question is

suppose for eg URL is 192.168.10.18/application1/form1 , then next link changes it to 192.168.10.18/application1/form 2 …n so on

in this if 192.168.10.18 changes to 192.168.10.20 and rest remain same i.e 192.168.10.20/application1/form1 , 192.168.10.20/application1/form2

so only parent part of URL is changed and rest of the link remain same

so only parent part of URL can be defied in file or as an envirnoment variable in QTP and rest application1/form1 and application1/form2 need not change so this can be handled in QTP if so please let know

It will be of g8 help

Thx Deeksha

What do you mean by Ticking testing.. Please explain it…

i have completed b.com is the sqt is better course for me

Hi, I am having experience of 1.5 years in manual tesing. Can i get some pdf (or) documents for automation testing. My email id [email protected]

can any one tell what are the similarities between tester and developer?

Developers should have the profound technical knowledge while for Testers it is not obligatory. For example, for black box testing knowledge of programing is not the must-have.

Developers receive client’s requirements in accordance to which they write a code. As for Testers, they check the code of application using automated testing, regression testing, functional testing

Development is a unique process while testing contains Independent Validation & Verification.

Developers fix attention on ways of software work. Testers are looking for reasons why software fails to work properly.

Developers realize the problems in the shortest possible time while testers report about the problems.

Developers know internals of the product. Testers have knowledge in domain filed, they are aware of some information about project.

Developers work after modeled client’s pre-requisites and Testers – after modeled user behavior.

Developers make and improve the software. Bugs and the grounds of their appearance are discovered while Software product testing.

Developers’ goal is to make software free of bugs and errors. Tester are trying to find out all possible bugs.

Is there any opening in testing plz inform to me chennai [email protected]

hi nithya.., offcourse testing has an effective scope in industry…as long as devlopment s der…testing also ll be der…so no need 2 hesitate…go ahead wit yo thoughts immediately…. All the best fa yo Future….

This is an IBM Interview Question … When you find bug, you are going to Assign to Developer, developer has fixed that bug and send back to testing once again the bug was re-open, but thing is that when u r going to re-assign into developer he will not agree because it is working fine with developer side, but not working testing side,

here what kind of u r going to ask for the developer, what kind of tricky question you are going to ask to the developer

pls any one can answer this question…..

i looking forward to answer as soon as possible ..

with regards

Hi Krishna,

This is a general scenario which happens in most of the cases. The following questions can be asked to the developer:

-> In which version has the developer checked this bug? -> What kind of data has he used to validate this bug? -> You can ask the developer to share the screenshots along with the date and time stamp -> Has the new changes been successfully deployed for testing (or in the testing environment)?

And one of the best ways before going to developer is: -> To revalidate the bug in testing environment -> Capture the step by step execution along with the failure message & document it

Hi!Gayathri, I need document related to Testing Methodoligies & techniques,Negative Test cases,Database Testing. If possible pls send t my mail id [email protected]

Hi Ganesh, I really appreciate Jayant for sharing his and his friends thoughts on testers need in company.

To your latest question about salary: Take the example of shopping market. You will get a product for different prices if its made by different companies. New and small companies will sell them to low price whereas big brand companies will not. Why? They have reputation, market and trusted quality since many years.

So as a tester your salary will depends on following factors: 1) Your total experience 2) Your Relevant experience (Say in software testing) 3) Your Skills 4) Your Role in organization (i.e tester, Sr, tester Test lead, Manager) 5) Your education 6) And finally the company salary policy.

Yes companies have salary policy, that what package a fresher will get, and also package for experience professional.

If you are working with equal opportunity employer then there should not be any differentiation between Developers and testers salary. And as per my knowledge most of the CMM companies do not differentiate between tester and Dev.

To be specific to your question as a 2+ experience and if you are on software test engg. position in a CMM level company then you can get around average 4 -5 lacks per annum package.

hi friends, In most of the interviews there are two general questions are usually asked.can anybody please answer 1. what are the difficulties one may come across while testing? 2.can you tell one bug that you have found but unable to reproduce ?

Hi, I am in search of a job in testing domain. The article posted in this page is very much useful and it gives us an idea of actually the company is looking for. Thank you for posting such useful information. Please continue this.

Please let me know, how by using a testing technique, we will prepare Test Case for a Field accepting decimal numeric value e.g. “XXXXXXXX.XX”

I am a s/w professional working as Tester(have 1 yr dev exp too). I am 3.3 yr experienced. Planning to switch to any good organisation with a good package. Can any one help if there are any requirements in their company or with interview question/answers. Please mail me at [email protected]

It seems to be a very responsible job ??? would this be any good for my future prospects in Software testing if i plan to change my job ?? please help me !!

As a Test Engineer, you need to have database knowledge.

1) Your application always interacts with a database schema in order to display information on GUI.

2) Lets assume, in your application you want to see all the existing users list, then you need to write a query like, SELECT * FROM USERS;

3) Some times, you may need to test the application with customer specific data, then you need to take the database backup from the customer and need to restore your local database with the backup taken from the customer.

4) In order install your application, you may need to create your own database schema, for that you may need to create an user and then run the SQL queries.

How can you do all these tasks without having database knowledge.

As far as I know, for any Test Engineer the basic skill set should be as follows, – Knowledge about the Applications (2-tier, 3-tier etc) – Database knowledge (atleast writing queries) – Communication Skills (both written and Verbal)

Introduction to Software Testing Questions

Listed below are ten commonly asked interview questions on the topic "Introduction to Software Testing":

What is Software Testing?

The process of testing a software application or system to find defects and bugs and ensure that it meets the specified requirements is called Software Testing.

Why is Software Testing necessary?

Software Testing is crucial because it helps in identifying and fixing defects early in the development process, improving the quality and reliability of the software, enhancing customer satisfaction, and reducing overall costs.

What are the different types of Software Testing?

The different types of Software Testing are Functional Testing, Non-functional Testing like System Testing, Integration Testing, Acceptance Testing, and Regression Testing.

What is the difference between verification and validation in Software Testing?

Verification evaluates work products like documents, design specifications, and code to ensure they meet the specified requirements. Conversely, Validation focuses on assessing the final software product to ensure that it satisfies the user's needs.

What is the difference between smoke testing and sanity testing?

Smoke testing is performed to ensure that the critical functionalities of the software work correctly before proceeding with detailed testing. Sanity testing is a narrow, focused testing effort to check if recent changes or fixes have not introduced any new issues.

What is the difference between black box testing and white box testing?

Black box testing focuses on testing the software's functionality without considering its internal structure or implementation details. It is also known as glass box or structural testing, White box testing involves testing the software's internal structure, design, and code.

What is regression testing?

Regression testing is the process of retesting the modified or updated parts of the software to make sure that the changes have not introduced any new defects and that the existing functionalities still work as expected.

What is the difference between Retesting and Regression Testing?

Retesting involves executing the failed test cases again to verify if the defects have been fixed. In contrast, Regression Testing is performed to ensure that the modifications or new additions to the software have not caused any unintended side effects in previously working areas.

What is the difference between Manual Testing and Automation Testing?

A test case can be defined as a set of conditions, inputs, actions, and expected results developed to verify specific functionalities or aspects of the software. It serves as documentation that guides the tester in performing a particular test.

What is a test case?

What is exploratory testing.

In most testing methods, testers follow an established testing plan to help find bugs and errors. However, in the Exploratory Testing method, testers evaluate an application randomly, like an explorer, without implementing a testing plan. This is particularly helpful in identifying bugs that were previously missing on other testing methods. It’s like solving a maze and can be quite fun. Any errors detected by them will be noted down for changes.

What is End-to-end Testing?

In this testing method, the testers test an application completely from the start to the finish. It covers all the possible flow to find out whether there are any discrepancies and if the right input is passed between the software application and the systems.

What is a test report?

The test report is a document that consists of everything from the testing objectives to the final results. Consider it like the progress report that contains all the details of the testing, which helps in evaluating whether a product is ready for deployment or not. It also helps testers find the status of the project as well as its quality. Other than that, it helps testers take corrective measures since it contains information on product defects as well.

What is test suite?

A test suite is a set of test cases developed to evaluate a software’s performance and functionalities. It can be used to test specific features of an application and can be grouped accordingly. This helps the testers to find out which tests should be performed as a priority and which tests can be performed later. By doing so, testers can test the critical features of software first, as well as reduce defects during testing.

What is A/B testing?

A/B Testing is one of the most popular Software Testing methods. It involves testing at least two or more versions of the same application with different features with various users. For example, one group of users will be given a version which we can call Part A, and the other group will be given a different version, which we can call Part B. Hence, the naming A/B testing is a risk-free method of testing. The testers will then collect feedback from both sets of users to find out where their design performs well and where it lacks.

Manual Testing Questions

Listed below are ten commonly asked interview questions on the topic "Manual Testing":

What is Manual Testing?

Manual Testing is a Software Testing approach where test cases are performed manually by a tester without using automation tools. It involves the tester's observation, analysis, and judgment to validate the software's functionalities and identify defects.

What are the advantages of Manual Testing?

Some advantages of Manual Testing include:

a) Early detection of visual defects or inconsistencies.

b) Effective for ad hoc or exploratory testing.

c) Better suited for usability and user experience testing.

d) Cost-effective for small-scale projects with limited functionalities.

e) Flexibility to adapt test cases based on real-time observations.

What are the disadvantages of Manual Testing?

Some disadvantages of Manual Testing include:

a) Time-consuming and labour-intensive.

b) Prone to human errors and inconsistencies.

c) Limited scalability for large and complex applications.

d) Difficult to perform repetitive tasks.

e) Not suitable for load and performance testing.

What is the process of Manual Testing?

The process of Manual Testing typically includes the following steps:

a) Test planning: Defining test objectives, scope, and test strategy.

b) Test case development: Creating test cases based on requirements.

c) Test environment setup: Preparing the necessary software and hardware for testing.

d) Test execution: Running the test cases, recording results, and reporting defects.

e) Defect tracking and management: Logging, prioritising, and tracking defects until resolution.

f) Test closure: Analysing test coverage, generating reports, and documenting lessons learned.

What is the difference between Positive Testing and Negative Testing?

Positive Testing focuses on validating that the software behaves as expected when given valid inputs. Negative Testing, however, aims to test the software's ability to handle invalid or unexpected inputs and conditions, such as error messages or boundary cases.

What is Boundary Testing in Manual Testing?

Boundary Testing is a technique used to validate the behaviour of the software at its boundaries or limits. It involves testing values at the extreme ends of the input domain, including minimum, maximum, and edge values, to ensure that the software handles them correctly.

Exploratory Testing is a dynamic testing approach where the tester explores the software's functionalities, features, and user interfaces without following predetermined test scripts. It allows the tester to investigate and identify defects by using their domain knowledge, intuition, and experience.

What is Regression Testing in Manual Testing?

Regression Testing is the process of retesting the modified or impacted parts of the software to ensure that the changes or fixes have not introduced new defects or caused unintended side effects in previously working areas.

How do you prioritise defects in Manual Testing?

Defect prioritisation is based on factors like severity, impact on business, frequency of occurrence, and customer requirements. High-severity defects that directly impact critical functionalities or pose risks to users are given the highest priority, followed by medium and low-severity defects.

How do you ensure test coverage in Manual Testing?

Test coverage can be ensured in manual testing by mapping test cases to the requirements, identifying test scenarios that cover different functionalities, employing techniques like boundary value analysis, comparison testing, equivalence partitioning, and maintaining a traceability matrix to track the coverage of requirements by test cases.

Test scripting involves writing test cases in a programming language or scripting language, which are executed manually by a tester. On the other hand, test automation consists in using automated tools to record, generate, or write scripts that can be performed automatically without manual intervention.

What is the difference between record and playback, and scripting in Automation Testing?

Record and playback is an approach where automation tools record a tester's interactions with the software and generate corresponding scripts that can be played back later for execution. Scripting involves writing custom scripts using programming languages to automate specific test cases and functionalities.

What is the Automation Testing life cycle?

The Automation Testing life cycle includes steps such as the following:

a) Planning

b) Script development

c) Test environment setup

d) Script execution

e) Result analysis

f) Defect tracking

g) Maintenance

It follows a similar structure to the Manual Testing life cycle but with an emphasis on developing and maintaining automated test scripts.

What are the different types of frameworks used in Automation Testing?

Some commonly used frameworks in automation testing include:

a) Data-driven Testing: Tests are driven by external data sources.

b) Keyword-driven Testing: Tests are developed using keywords or actions.

c) Hybrid Testing: Combines elements of both data-driven and keyword-driven testing.

d) Page Object Model (POM): Organises test scripts by mapping them to web page objects.

e) Behaviour-Driven Development (BDD): Focuses on collaboration and defining requirements using natural language.

What is the concept of Data-driven Testing?

Data-driven Testing is an approach where test cases are designed to use different sets of data. It allows the same test case to be executed with various data inputs, enabling the tester to validate the software's behaviour under different scenarios and data combinations.

What is continuous integration in Automation Testing?

Continuous integration is the practice of regularly integrating and testing code changes in an automated manner. It involves automatically building, testing, and validating software changes as they are made, ensuring that the software remains stable and functional throughout the development process.

The systems development life cycle (SDLC) also referred to as the application development life cycle.

SDLC is the acronym for Software Development Life Cycle. It is a framework that defines tasks performed at each step in the software development process and aims to produce quality software that meets or exceeds customer expectations within a specific time frame and allotted cost.

There are six phases of SDLC. 1.Requirement Gathering and Analysis. 2.System Analysis. 3. System Design. 4.Coding. 5.Testing. 6.Implementation.

The phases of SDLC are planning and requirement analysis, defining requirements, designing the product architecture, building or developing the product, testing the product, and lastly deployment in the market and maintenance.

What is full form of SDLC? Does it part of QA dept. or entire IT company?

Fullform of SDLC is Software Development Life Cycle. It involves all the departments of IT company.

The various departments like -> Executive Committee members, -> Project/Product Managers and Business Analyst group, -> Software Developers team including System Architects and Software Engineers, -> QA Team including Test Managers and Testers -> Operations team -including System Administrators, Support team (help desk), Network Operations team, NOC team etc., all together will be a involved in the SDLC.

SDLC is the acronym for Software Development Life Cycle. There are various IT roles involved in the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC); such as the Project Manager, System Analysts, Developer, Chief Operations Officer, Chief Finance Officer, and Information Technology Director. There are also other stakeholders in a SDLC process, like end-users and suppliers. Each of these roles hold an important role within the SDLC process. The role of the Project Manager is the front and center of the SDLC process. The project manager ensures resource and budget availability and helps resolve any other necessary unforeseen issues with the project.

SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It is part of entire It company.

SDLC involves the entire company.

What are various phases of SDLC? Explain each phase with details?

SDLC has six phases Planning : Project Manager have plan of the product what to built how to built when to finish.

Defining: Business analyst gather all the requirements in detail from the clients and make a simple document. EX: The page layout, look and feel, fields, data, radio buttons, cosmetic features.

Designing: The architect or the development team can design the structure of the product.

Coding or implementation: The development team writes the code as per requirement using the some types of languages .

Testing: Quality Assurance Department test the application test or validate as per requirement. So it should be bug free on the release time.

Deployment: After all the coding and testing is done for application, PM will assign to release the product.

In planning and requirement analysis, the objective is to conduct preliminary analysis, propose alternate solutions, weigh cost versus benefits and submit an early draft of the plan.

In requirements definition, project goals are set. End-user needs are analyzed. Inconsistencies and redundancies are removed and any gaps in requirements are filled.

When designing the product architecture, desired features and operations are described in detail.

Development is the phase where the actual code is written

Testing is the phase where the various elements are brought together into a testing environment to eliminate bugs and test for operability.

Deployment includes changes and enhancements to the new system before release and the decommissioning or sunset of the old system. Maintenance involves continual evaluation of the new system’s performance.

How to write Test Cases – Software Testing

Software testing is known as a process for validating and verifying the working of a software/application. It makes sure that the software is working without any errors, bugs, or any other issues and gives the expected output to the user. The software testing process isn’t limited to finding faults in the present software but also finding measures to upgrade the software in various factors such as efficiency, usability, and accuracy. So, to test software the software testing provides a particular format called a Test Case .

This article focuses on discussing the following topics in the Test Case:

A test case is a defined format for software testing required to check if a particular application/software is working or not. A test case consists of a certain set of conditions that need to be checked to test an application or software i.e. in more simple terms when conditions are checked it checks if the resultant output meets with the expected output or not. A test case consists of various parameters such as ID, condition, steps, input, expected result, result, status, and remarks.

Parameters of a Test Case:

Module Name: Subject or title that defines the functionality of the test.
Test Case Id: A unique identifier assigned to every single condition in a test case.
Tester Name: The name of the person who would be carrying out the test.
Test scenario: The test scenario provides a brief description to the tester, as in providing a small overview to know about what needs to be performed and the small features, and components of the test.
Test Case Description: The condition required to be checked for a given software. for eg. Check if only numbers validation is working or not for an age input box.
Test Steps: Steps to be performed for the checking of the condition.
Prerequisite: The conditions required to be fulfilled before the start of the test process.
Test Priority: As the name suggests gives priority to the test cases that had to be performed first, or are more important and that could be performed later.
Test Data: The inputs to be taken while checking for the conditions.
Test Expected Result: The output which should be expected at the end of the test.
Test parameters: Parameters assigned to a particular test case.
Actual Result: The output that is displayed at the end.
Environment Information: The environment in which the test is being performed, such as the operating system, security information, the software name, software version, etc.
Status: The status of tests such as pass, fail, NA, etc.
Comments: Remarks on the test regarding the test for the betterment of the software.

Just as a well-structured test case is essential for validating and verifying the functionality of software, gaining a deep understanding of software testing methodologies is crucial for ensuring the success of any testing process. If you’re looking to enhance your skills in creating and managing test cases, along with mastering the overall testing process, consider exploring the Complete Guide to Software Testing & Automation by GeeksforGeeks . This course provides comprehensive insights into every aspect of software testing, from writing effective test cases to automating the testing process, helping you deliver high-quality software with confidence.

Below are some of the points of difference between a test case and a test scenario:

Parameter	Test Case	Test Scenario
	A test case is a defined format for software testing required to check if a particular application/software/module is working or not. Here we check for different conditions regarding the same.	The test Scenario provides a small description of what needs to be performed based on the use case.
	Test cases are more detailed with several parameters.	Test Scenario provides a small description, mostly one-line statements.
	Test cases are low-level actions.	Test scenarios are high-level actions.
	Test cases are mostly derived from test scenarios.	Test scenarios are derived from documents like BRS, SRS, etc.
	It focuses on “What to test” and “How to test”.	It focuses more on ‘What to test”.
	Test cases require more resources for documentation and execution.	Fewer resources are required to write test scenarios.
	It includes all positive and negative inputs, expected results, navigation steps, etc.	They are one-liner statements.
	It requires more time compared to test scenarios.	Test scenarios require less time.
	They are hard to maintain.	They require less time to maintain.

Test cases are written in different situations:

Before development: Test cases could be written before the actual coding as that would help to identify the requirement of the product/software and carry out the test later when the product/software gets developed.
After development: Test cases are also written directly after coming up with a product/software or after developing the feature but before the launching of a product/software as needed to test the working of that particular feature.
During development: Test cases are sometimes written during the development time, parallelly. so whenever a part of the module/software gets developed it gets tested as well.

So, test cases are written in such cases, as test cases help in further development and make sure that we are meeting all the needed requirements.

Test cases are one of the most important aspects of software engineering, as they define how the testing would be carried out. Test cases are carried out for a very simple reason, to check if the software works or not. There are many advantages of writing test cases:

To check whether the software meets customer expectations: Test cases help to check if a particular module/software is meeting the specified requirement or not.
To check software consistency with conditions: Test cases determine if a particular module/software works with a given set of conditions.
Narrow down software updates: Test cases help to narrow down the software needs and required updates.
Better test coverage: Test cases help to make sure that all possible scenarios are covered and documented.
For consistency in test execution: Test cases help to maintain consistency in test execution. A well-documented test case helps the tester to just have a look at the test case and start testing the application.
Helpful during maintenance: Test cases are detailed which makes them helpful during the maintenance phase.

Let’s look at a basic test case template for the login functionality.

The Test case template contains the header section which has a set of parameters that provide information about the test case such as the tester’s name, test case description, Prerequisite, etc.
The body section contains the actual test case content, such as test ID, test steps, test input, expected result, etc.

Below is the table that shows the basic template of a test case:

Fields	Description
	Each test case should have a unique ID.
	Each test case should have a proper description to let testers know what the test case is about.
	Conditions that are required to be satisfied before executing the test case.
	Mention all test steps in detail and to be executed from the end-user’s perspective.
	Test data could be used as input for the test cases.
	The result is expected after executing the test cases.
	Conditions need to be fulfilled when the test cases are successfully executed.
	The result that which system shows once the test case is executed.
	Set the status as Pass or Fail on the expected result against the actual result.
	Name of the project to which the test case belongs.
	Name of the module to which the test case belongs.
	Mention the path of the reference document.
	Name of the tester who created the test cases.
	Date of creation of test cases.
	Name of the tester who reviews the test case.
	When the test cases were reviewed.
	Name of the tester who executed the test case.
	Date when the test cases were executed.
	Include comments which help the team to understand the test cases.

In the given template below it’s identifiable that the section from module name to test scenario is the header section while the table that lies below the test scenario (from test case ID to comments) is the body of the test case template.

Here a test case template for login functionality has been created with its parameters and values.

There are certain practices that one could follow while writing the test cases that would be considered beneficial.

Simple and clear: Test cases need to be very concise, clear, and transparent. They should be easy and simple to understand not only for oneself but for others as well.
Maintaining the client/customer/end-user requirements must be unique : While writing the test cases, it’s necessary to make sure that they aren’t being written over and over again and that each case is different from the others.
Zero Assumptions: Test cases should not contain assumed data, and don’t come up with features/modules that don’t exist.
Traceability: Test cases should be traceable for future reference, so while writing it’s important to keep that in mind,
Different input data: While writing test cases, all types of data must be taken into consideration.
Strong module name: The module name should be self-explanatory while writing the test case.
Minimal Description: The description of a test case should be small, one or two lines are normally considered good practice, but it should give the basic overview properly.
Maximum conditions: All kinds of conditions should be taken into consideration while writing a test, increasing the effectiveness.
Meeting requirements: While writing the test case the client/customer/end-user requirements must be met.
Repetitive Results: The test case must be written in such a way that it should provide the same result.
Different Techniques: Sometimes testing all conditions might not be possible but using different testing with different test cases could help to check every aspect of a software.
Create test cases with the end user’s perspective: Create test cases by keeping end-user in mind and the test cases must meet customer requirements.
Use unique Test Case ID: It is considered a good practice to use a unique Test Case ID for the test cases following a naming convention for better understanding.
Add proper preconditions and postconditions: Preconditions and postconditions for the test cases must be mentioned properly and clearly.
Test cases should be reusable: There are times when the developer updates the code, then the testers need to update the test cases to meet the changing requirements.
Specify the exact expected outcome: Include the exact expected result, which tells us what will be result of a particular test step.

Test management tools help to manage the test cases. These tools are automated tools that decrease the time and effort of a tester as compared to the traditional way. Some test case management tools include advanced dashboards, easier bug, and progress tracking as well as management, custom test case templates, integration of test cases, inviting guest testers, managing team requirements and plans, and much more.

Below are some of the test case management tools:

Testpad: Testpad is a simple tool that makes test case management easier. The software’s main motto says that it aims to find a bug that matters. A few features of Testpad include manual testing , reports of the test cases and software, dragging and dropping to make testing easier, inviting guest testers by email, building custom templates, and much more.
TestCaseLab: TestCaseLab is easily manageable for the test cases and could swiftly integrate them with bug trackers. The features of TestCaseLab include Custom test cases, Test Runs, Integrations of test cases, Test Plans, tags and priority for test cases, search by name of test cases, description, tags, etc.
TestRail: TestRail is another platform that aims to make test case management easier, it streamlines the software testing processes and along with more visibility into QA. The basic features of TestRail include management for test cases, plans, and runs, more test coverage, real-time insights into the QA progress, etc.
TestLodge: TestLodge is a test case management tool that helps the entire team manage their requirements, test plans, test cases, and test runs all in one single place and with no user limit. The basic features of TestLodge include Test Plans, Test Runs, a Dashboard, a Test Suite, and many more.

Formal and Informal Test Case

Formal Test Cases: Formal test cases are test cases that follow the basic test case format. It contains the test case parameters such as conditions, ID, Module name, etc. Formal Test cases have set input data and expected results, they are performed as per the given order of steps.
Informal Test Cases: Informal test cases are test cases that don’t follow the basic test case format. In these, as the tests are performed the test cases are written in real-time then pre-writing them, and the input and expected results are not predefined as well.
Functionality Test Case: The functionality test case is to determine if the interface of the software works smoothly with the rest of the system and its users or not. Black box testing is used while checking for this test case, as we check everything externally and not internally for this test case.
Unit Test Case: In unit test case is where the individual part or a single unit of the software is tested. Here each unit/ individual part is tested, and we create a different test case for each unit.
User Interface Test Case: The UI test or user interface test is when every component of the UI that the user would come in contact with is tested. It is to test if the UI components requirement made by the user are fulfilled or not.
Integration Test Case: Integration testing is when all the units of the software are combined and then they are tested. It is to check that each component and its units work together without any issues.
Performance Test Case: The performance test case helps to determine response time as well as the overall effectiveness of the system/software. It’s to see if the application will handle real-world expectations.
Database Test Case: Also known as back-end testing or data testing checks that everything works fine concerning the database. Testing cases for tables, schema, triggers, etc. are done.
Security Test Case: The security test case helps to determine that the application restricts actions as well as permissions wherever necessary. Encryption and authentication are considered as main objectives of the security test case. The security test case is done to protect and safeguard the data of the software.
Usability Test Case: Also known as a user experience test case, it checks how user-friendly or easy to approach a software would be. Usability test cases are designed by the User experience team and performed by the testing team.
User Acceptance Test Case: The user acceptance case is prepared by the testing team but the user/client does the testing and review if they work in the real-world environment.

What is a QA test case?

A QA (Quality Assurance) test case is a document that specifies a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine whether a system, software application, or one of its features is working as expected. A well-written test case helps ensure that the software behaves as intended and meets the specified requirements. It provides us Consistency, Traceability and efficiency of System.

Benefits of writing high-quality test cases

Writing high-quality test cases offers numerous benefits that contribute to the effectiveness and efficiency of the software testing process. Some benefits are listed below:

Improved Test Coverage
Enhanced Communication
Consistency and Repeatability
Efficient Defect Identification
Improved Test Automation
Increased Confidence in Software Quality

Below is an example of preparing various test cases for a login page with a username and password.

Unit Test case: Here we are only checking if the username validates at least for the length of eight characters.


1.	Check if the username field accepts the input of thirteen characters.	1. Give input	geeksforgeeks	Accepts for thirteen characters.	Accepts for thirteen characters.	Pass	None

Here it is only checked whether the passing of input of thirteen characters is valid or not. So since the character word ‘geeksforgeeks’ is entered then the test is successful it would have failed for any other test case.

Functionality Test case: Here it is checked whether the username and password both work together on the login click.


1.	Check that with the correct username and password able to log in.	1. Enter the username 2. Enter the password 3. Click on the login	username: geeks for geeks password: geeksforever	Login successful	Login successful	Pass	None
2.	Check that if with an incorrect username and password able to not login.	1. Enter the username 2. Enter the password 3. Click on the login	username: geeksforgeeks password: geekstogether	Login unsuccessful	Login unsuccessful	Pass	None

Check that with the correct username and password able to log in.

1. Enter the username

2. Enter the password

3. Click on the login

username: geeks for geeks

password: geeksforever

Pass

None

Check that if with an incorrect username and password able to not login.

1. Enter the username

2. Enter the password

3. Click on the login

username: geeksforgeeks

password: geekstogether

Pass

None

Here it is being checked whether passing wrong and right inputs and if the login functionality is working or not, it’s showing login is successful for the right credentials and unsuccessful for the wrong ones, hence both tests have passed otherwise would have failed.

User Acceptance Test Case: Here the user feedback is taken if the login page is loading properly or not.


1.	Check if the loading page loading efficiently for the client.	1. Click on the login button.	None	Welcome to the login page.	Welcome to the login page.	Fail	The login page is not loaded due to a browser compatibility issue on the user’s side.

Here it is being checked in by clicking on the login button if the page is loaded and the ‘ Welcome to login page ‘ message is displayed. The test has failed here as the page was not loaded due to a browser compatibility issue, it would have loaded if the test had passed.

Software Testing Tutorial
What is Software Testing?
Manual Testing – Software Testing
Software Testing – Use Case Testing
Unit Testing – Software Testing

Writing effective test cases is a fundamental part of the software testing process. It ensures that the software is tested thoroughly, and any defects are identified and resolved early in the development cycle. Effective test cases are clear, concise, and comprehensive, covering all possible scenarios to ensure the software’s functionality, performance, and reliability. By following a structured approach to writing test cases, testers can improve the quality of the software, reduce the risk of defects, and ensure that the software meets the requirements and expectations of the stakeholders.

Why are test cases important?

Test cases are important because they provide a systematic way to test the software, ensure all functionalities are working as expected, help identify defects, and verify that the software meets the specified requirements.

What is the difference between a test case and a test scenario?

A test case is a detailed document that includes specific inputs, execution conditions, and expected results for a particular test. A test scenario, on the other hand, is a high-level description of what to test, typically focusing on a specific functionality or feature of the software.

What tools are commonly used for writing and managing test cases?

Common tools for writing and managing test cases include TestRail , JIRA , Zephyr, HP ALM, and Microsoft Test Manager, among others.

How do we ensure test cases cover all requirements?

To ensure test cases cover all requirements, we use a requirements traceability matrix (RTM) . This helps map test cases to specific requirements, ensuring that all requirements are tested and validated.

What are the key components of a test case?

The key components of a test case include the test case ID, test description, prerequisites, test steps, test data, expected results, actual results, and post-conditions.
