Software testing is one of the inevitable processes in software
development life cycle. For software testing process there are few
sets of test are defined: making test plan, test cases design, defect
do***entation or bug logging and status re****t file.
All these steps are taken together by software testing teams to make a
complete software testing cycle. This software testing cycle helps
organization to achieve high quality software products and
applications. To process high quality software testing the software
development requirement do***ents and design do***ent play major role
in planning and designing the software testing deliverables.
There are various open source testing tools present and available
freely to make the testing easy and simplified for beginners as well.
Expert software testing professionals has right mix of following:
- logical and reasoning aptitude,
- software testing experience and
- good knowledge of frameworks and practice on testing tools.
Let=92s discuss few processes of software testing:
Making Test Plan: Test plan describes the following =96
- the objective of software testing,
- scope of the software testing,
- approach and assumptions in testing,
- dependencies and risks measurement and
- schedule and steps for the test phases
Many testing organizations and companies defines test plan as to
describe software testing phases, testing procedures, technical
analysis and other general standard testing practice. Objective of
Test Plan defines =93why testing is required=94, whereas scope of Test
Plan defines =93what are the requirements in testing=94.
Test Cases Design: Test cases designs are prepared to give the
complete direction and flow in the testing procedure. Test cases are
designed by keeping the operational flow of the software in mind. To
design high quality test cases, the proper do***entation of current
test cycle is required to make it extendible in future test cycle.
Test cases in common define the author, description, steps, and
expected result of the testing.
Defect Do***entation/Bug Logging: Software Testing is done to find the
malfunctioning and defects in the software. Defect finding is the most
critical role in the software testing cycle. Making proper
do***entation of defects stating how to reproduce the bug is required
and expected from the software tester. Defect do***entation commonly
states the tester name, reproduction steps, severity and status of the
defects.
Status re****t file: Status of the software testing is prepared in
weekly, bi-monthly, monthly basis. Status re****t helps in meeting
timelines and forecasting the staging of the software for production.
Quality status re****ts always focus the goal of testing and software
testing deliverables.
