scenario testing in software testing
- 2. WHAT IS SCENARIO TESTING? ▧ Scenario Testing in software testing is a method in which actual scenarios are used for testing the software application instead of test cases. ▧ In scenario testing the testers put themselves in the end users shoes and figure out the the real world scenarios or use cases which can be performed on the software by the end user. ▧ In scenario testing, testers take assistance from clients, stakeholders and developers to create test scenarios. 2

- 4. Why do we write test scenario? ▧ The main reason to write a test scenario is to verify the complete functionality of the software application. ▧ It also helps you to ensure that the business processes and flows are as per the functional requirements. ▧ It ensures that the software is working for the most common use cases. 4
- 5. Strategies To create good scenarios : ▧ Enumerate possible users their actions and objectives. ▧ Evaluate users with hacker's mindset and list possible scenarios of system abuse. ▧ List the system events and how does the system handle such requests. ▧ Read about similar systems and their behaviour. ▧ Studying complaints about competitor's products . 5

- 11. SYSTEM SCENARIO Scenario tests used in this method are only those sets of realistic, user activities that cover various components in the system. 11
- 12. APPROACHES TO DEVELOP SYSTEM SCENARIO ▧ Story lines ▧ State transitions ▧ Business verticals 12
- 13. STORY LINE ▧ Develop a story line that combines various activities of the product that may be executed by an end user. 13
- 14. STATE TRANSITIONS ▧ Consider an object ,derive the different transitions/modifications that happen to the object, and derive scenario to cover them. 14
- 15. BUSINESS VERTICALS Business Vertical Testing is testing such products for different business domains. For example , Banking IT industry Medical Manufacturing 15
- 16. USE CASE SCENARIO ▧ A use case scenario is a stepwise procedure on how a user intends to use a system with different user roles. ▧ A use case scenario can include stories, pictures, and deployment details. ▧ Use cases are useful for explaining customer problems and how the software can solve the problems without any ambiguity. 16
- 17. ▧ Users with different roles == Actors ▧ Product should do for a particular activity == System behavior ▧ Users to interact with the actors and system == Agents 17
