2. What is software testing ?
Software testing is a process to investigation about
the quality.
Or
Process of finding defect i.e. variance
between Expected and actual result.
3. Why ? What ? How? Who?
Why to test ?
What to test ?
How to test ?
Who test ?
4. Why is testing necessary ?
software testing is necessary to make sure the
product or application is defect free, as per
customer specifications.
Software testing identifies fault whose removal
increases the software Quality and Increases the
software reliability.
Testing effort is directly proportional to the
complexity of the program.
5. Why is testing necessary ?
Software should be
Error free as per requirement
Efficient
Secured
8. Common problems in the
software development process ?
Poor requirements
Unrealistic schedule
Features
Miscommunication
9. Misconception
Anyone can test software : no particular skill
is required .
Tester can test the quality at the end of the project
Defects found means blaming to the developers.
10. What are the skill required for testing?
Strong Desired for quality and attention to details
Ability to understand the point of customer, what
He / She want
Good understanding with developer and tester.
judgment skill
“Things to break” attitude
11. Software Development Life Cycle
(SDLC)
The seven stages of SDLC process are
Requirement Gathering
Analysis.
Design
Development
Testing
Implementation
Maintenance
12. There are few recognized models.....
Water Fall Model
Prototype Model
Incremental Model
RAD (Rapid Application Development) Model
Spiral Model
V Model
Agile Model
SDLC Models
13. Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)
Software Testing is not a just a single activity. It
consists of series of activities carried out
methodologically to help certify your software
product. These activities (stages) constitute the
Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC).
14. Requirements Analysis
Test Planning
Test Analysis
Test Design
Test Construction and Verification
Test Execution and Bug Reporting
Final Testing and Implementation
Post Implementation
STLC Stages
16. Verification also known as quality assurance.
Static testing is done on this.
Walkthrough
Inspection
Technical review
Audit
Verification
17. Validation
Validation typically involves actual
testing and takes place after the
verifications are complete.
Validation determines the correctness
of a final build with respect to its
requirements.
Validation checks whether we are
building the right product.
18. Levels Of Testing
Unit Testing
Integration Testing
System Testing
User Acceptance Testing
19. Unit - smallest testable piece of software.
Unit testing is process of testing the smallest/ individual component of
program.
Unit test is a procedure used to validate that individual unit of source code
is working properly.
Before entering into the unit testing it should be gone through code review.
Tests the functionality of units.
Typically done by the developers and not by testers.
It is typically used to verify control flow, data flow
and memory leak problems.
Unit Testing
23. Black Box and White box
Techniques
Black Box Testing
Black box testing is testing that ignores the internal
mechanism of a system or component and focuses
solely on the outputs generated in response to selected
inputs and execution conditions.
(also called as Behavioral testing, Functional testing, Data driven
testing, I/O driven testing)
White Box Testing
White box testing is testing that takes into account the
internal mechanism of a system or component.
(also called as Structural testing, Glass box testing,
Transparent-box and Clear box Testing )
24. Test Case Design methods:
Equivalence Class partitioning method
Boundary value analysis
Decision Tables
State transition testing
Use case based testing
Error guessing
Black box testing
25. White box Testing
Testing based on analysis of internal logic (design,
code, etc.).
White-box testing techniques apply primarily to
lower levels of testing (e.g., unit and component).
Targets to check control flow, looping, dataflow, all
the nodes and paths.
Mandatory to have a knowledge of code in which
the system is designed.
27. Statement coverage
Execute all the statements at least once
Weakest form of coverage as it requires
every line of code to be checked ?
28. Decision coverage (Branch coverage)
Exercise all logical decision on
their true or false sides.
To test the branch we must
once
check the true condition and
once
the false condition
True
False
?
29. Condition Coverage
Execute each decision with all
possible outcomes at least once
It requires all cases.
Checks each of the ways
condition can be made true or
false
31. Cyclomatic Complexity
It is important to testers because it provides
an indication of the amount of testing.
Cyclomatic complexity is defined as
control flow graph G,
cyclomatic complexity V(G):
V(G)= E-N+2 Where
N is the number of nodes in G
E is the number of edges in G
V(G)=E-N+2V(G) = E - N+ 2V(G)=E -N+2
32. Read A
IF A < 0 THEN
Print ?A negative?
ENDIF
IF A > 0 THEN
Print ?A positive?
ENDIF
Cyclomatic complexity= 3
E-N+2
8-7+2=3
Cyclomatic Complexity
Editor's Notes
#16:A step-by-step presentation by the author of the document
Inspection - A type of peer review that relies on visual examination of documents to detect defects.
Technical review
Audit :- a. internal b. external
#20:1. This testing is performed by the developers or testers.
2. Smoke testing is a subset of Regression testing.
3. Smoke testing is like General Health Check Up.
Sanity testing is usually performed by testers.
Sanity testing is a subset of Acceptance testing
Sanity Testing is like specialized health check up
#21:Performance testing is a type of testing intended to determine the responsiveness, throughput, reliability, and/or scalability of a system under a given workload.
Load testing is the process of putting demand on a system or device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a system's behavior under both normal and anticipated peakload conditions.
Many a times, an application is hosted across locations; however, all data needs to be deployed over a central location. The process of testing the integration points for single application hosted at different locations and then ensuring correct data flow across each location is known as inter system testing.
#24:equivalence class represents a set of valid or invalid states for input condition.
Test the boundary of the field – (2-25 )
Decision Tables: login - make condition
State transition testing: - look at each and every possible way.
Use case based testing:- go through the usecase document and try to use software
#31:Cyclomatic complexity is a source code complexity measurement that is being correlated to a number of coding errors. It is calculated by developing a Control Flow Graph of the code that measures the number of linearly-independent paths through a program module.
Lower the Program's cyclomatic complexity, lower the risk to modify and easier to understand. It can be represented using the below formula:
