1) Introduction to
> tin live on done inwards 2 ways ane is Manual Testing simply about other is Test Automation or Automated Testing.
> Testing reckoner software manually inwards social club to uncovering defects without using tools or automation scripts.
> Testing Computer Software yesteryear using Automation tool or Automation script.
2) SDLC Models
We bring together with thus many SDLC models available inwards the information technology industry, nosotros tin segregate them inwards to 2 categories.
a) Sequential Models (Waterfall, V Model etc...)
b) Incremental / Iterative models (Spiral model, Agile models etc...)
3) Software Test Levels
We bring Four levels of Testing for General or independent Software applications
i) Unit Testing Testing of private software components.
Testers: Developers
ii) Integration Testing
Testing integration or interfaces betwixt components, interactions to dissimilar parts of the scheme such equally an operating system, file scheme together with hardware.
Testers: Developers or Independent Testers
iii) System Testing
Testing an integrated System to verify that it meets specified requirements.
Testers: Independent Testers
iv) Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing
Testers: Customers /End users
Operational Acceptance Testing
System Administration staff.
Certification Testing
Testers: Certified Testers
For distributed Software applications five levels of Testing
i) Unit Testing
ii) Component Integration Testing
iii) System Testing
iv) System Integration Testing
v) Acceptance Testing
-----------------------------------
4) Software Test Types
i) Functional Testing
Functionality Testing
Security Testing
ii) Non Functional Testing
Performance Testing
Usability Testing
Configuration Testing
Reliability Testing
Recovery Testing
Localization Testing etc...
5) Software Test blueprint Techniques
i) Static Techniques
Static testing is the testing of the software piece of occupation products manually, or amongst a prepare of tools, but they are non executed.
Example: Reviews, Walk trough, Inspection etc...
ii) Dynamic Techniques
> Testing that involves the execution of the software of a ingredient or system.
a) White box Test blueprint techniques
Statement testing
Condition testing
Decision testing etc...
b) Black box Test blueprint techniques
Equivalence partitioning / Equivalent Classes
Boundary Value Analysis
Decision tables
State transition Testing
Use example Testing etc...
c) Experience based Techniques
Error Guessing
Exploratory Testing etc...
-----------------------------------------------

7) Software Quality Standards
ISO (Terminology, Process guidelines etc...)
IEEE (Terminology, Test Documentation standards)
CMM/CMMI (Process)
8) Software Test Documents
i) Test Policy
A high degree (company level) document describes principles, approach together with major objectives of the scheme regarding Testing.
ii) Test Strategy
A high degree document of the Test Levels to live on performed together with the Testing inside those levels for an Organization.
iii) Test Plan
A document describing the scope, approach, resources, together with schedule of intended activities.
iv) Test Scenario
An item or lawsuit of a ingredient or scheme that could live on verified yesteryear ane or to a greater extent than Test cases.
v) Test Case
A prepare of input values, execution preconditions, expected resultant together with execution post weather condition developed for a detail objective or Test condition.
vi) Test Data
Data that exits earlier a exam is executed together with that effects or is effected yesteryear the ingredient or System nether test.
vii) Defect Report
A document reporting of emmet flaw inwards a ingredient or System that tin campaign the ingredient or scheme to neglect to perform its required function.
viii) Test Summary Report
A document summarizing testing activities together with Result. It also contains evaluation of the corresponding exam items against instruct out criteria.
Domain Knowledge for Software Testers
