SOFTWARE TESTING

 Exploratory Testing  Exploratory testing is also known as ad hoc testing and was known solely by this term until the early 1990s when a group now called the “Context-Driven School” started using the term exploratory.  Cem Kaner  was the person that coined the term Exploratory Testing in his book “Testing Computer Software” and described it as: “Simultaneous test design, test execution and learning with an emphasis on learning” According to the different site, I found different definitions for exploratory testing- In exploratory testing, testers do not work on the basis of previously created test cases. They check a system without a plan in mind in order to discover bugs that users may face when navigating a website or app without a specific aim or direction in mind. Exploratory testing” – as the name suggests, is simultaneous learning, test design, and test execution process. We can say that in this testing test planning, analysis, design, and test execution, a...

Risk Storming   for Vending Machine Risk-storming is a quick technique that provides a collaborative way to identify and visualize risks. As an aside, this technique can be used for anything that you can visualize; from enterprise architectures to business processes and workflows. It can be used at the start of a software development project (when you're coming up with the initial software architecture) or throughout, during iteration planning sessions or retrospectives. Just make sure that you keep a log of the risks that are identified, including those that you later agree to have a probability or impact of "none". Riskstorming is a collaborative, strategic board game that focuses on identifying how to test risks that impact the imperative quality aspects of your product. A RiskStorming session takes you through 3 phases to get answers to these questions: Which quality aspects matter most for your product? Which risks endanger those quality aspects? How do we test to ma...

  HEURISTICS AND MNEMONICS IN SOFTWARE TESTING Every tester has technical experience on some stage of his/her professional development. And it is very useful to improve it all the time by new knowledge and technological skills, which not only broaden a professional mind but also fill this mind with some opportunities to understand things, which were misunderstood before. Discovering various heuristics and mnemonics, a tester can easily broaden his/her view on potential problems inside a developed web product, as well as develop new approaches to the testing directly. Skills in how to use testing heuristics can highly improve the testing efficiency of any product or web component. CONCEPTS OF HEURISTIC AND MNEMONIC A process of testing on the basis of heuristics – is a technology of testing algorithms, apps, and programs, and by using it, the testing strategy is based on previous experience and data about the possibility of different events. Mnemonic – is a set of rules and techniqu...

  QUALITY.  Quality is extremely hard to define, and it is simply stated: "Fit for use or purpose." It is all about meeting the needs and expectations of customers with respect to functionality, design, reliability, durability, & price of the product Quality - Quality is the totality of features and characteristics of a product or service which relate on its ability to satisfy a given need. Who is responsible for Software quality? Quality is the responsibility of everyone because no one person can successfully deliver a project by themselves. Usually, in the project world, projects are run by a number of people that are seldom from one organization. It is imperative that each organization takes appropriate measures to ensure quality is engraved within its culture. When quality expectations are understood by the project team, and each organization has set up in place a procedure to ensure quality control and assurance measures are taken, the project is more likely to be de...
