Project:

Project is some thing that is developed based on the particular


customers requirements and used by that customer only ( E.g.:
Marriage laddu)

Product:
It is some thing that is developed based on the companies specification and
used by the multiple customers (e.g.: Thirupathi laddu)

Quality:

Classical definition for quality: - Quality is defined as justification of all the


requirements of customer in a product.
NOTE: Quality is not defined in the product; it is defined in the customers mind

Defect: - Defect is defined as deviation from the requirements


Latest definition for quality: - quality is defined as not only the justification of
requirements but also the presence of value (User friendliness)
Testing:
Testing is processes, in which the defects are identified, isolated, subjected for
rectification & ensure that the product is defect free. In order to produce the quality
product in the end and hence customer satisfaction.

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC):SDLC contains six phases they are
1. Initial phase or requirements phase.
2. Analysis phase
3. Design phase
4. Coding Phase
5. Testing Phase
6. Delivery & Maintenance Phase.

I. Initial Phase or Requirements Phase :


(a) Tasks: Interaction with the customer and gathering the requirements.
(b) Roles: Business Analyst (B.A), Engagement Manager (E.M)
Process: First of all the business analyst will take an appointment from the
customer, collects the templates from the company, meets the customer on appointed
day, gathers the requirements with the help of template and comes back to the
company with the requirements documents.
Once the requirement document has come to the company the
engagement manager will check whether the customer gives any extra requirements
or confused requirements. In case of extra requirements he deals the excess cost of
the project. In case of confused requirements he is the responsible for prototype
demonstration and gathering the clear requirements.

Proof: The proof document of this phase is Requirements Document. This is


called with different names in different companies.
1. FRS (Functional Requirements Specification)
2. CRS (Customer Requirement Specification)
3. URS (User Requirement Specification)
4. BDD (Business Design Document)
5. BD (Business Document)
6. BRS (Business Requirement Specification)
Some companies may maintain the over all business flow information in one
document and the detailed functional requirement information in the other
document
bandaru7778@gmail.com

Page 3

Templates: It is a pre defined format, which contains the predefined fields, and
used for preparing a document in an easy, comfort and perfect manner.

Prototype: -Defined as a roughly & Rapidly developed model which is used for
demonstrating to the client, In order to gather the clear requirements and to win the
confidence of a customer.

II.

Analysis Phase:

(a) Tasks:
1.Feasibilty Study
2.Tentative planning
3. Technology Selection

(b) Roles:

4. Requirement Analysis
System Analyst, Project Manager, and Team Manager.

Process
1. Feasibility Study: - It is detailed study of the requirements in order to
check weather the requirements are possible or not.
2. Tentative Planning: In this section the resource planning and the time
planning (scheduling) is done temporarily.
3. Technology Selection: - The list of all the technologies that are required
to accomplish this project. Successfully will be analyzed and listed out in this
section.
4. Requirement Analysis: - The list of all the requirements that are required
to accomplish this project. Successfully will be analyzed and listed out here in
this section.
SRC- System requirement specification

Proof: - The proof of this phase is system Requirement specification.


III. Design Phase: Tasks:
1. High level designing
2. Low level designing

Roles: High-level designing is done by the chief Architect & Low level
designing is done by the Technical Lead
bandaru7778@gmail.com

Page 4

Process: The Chief architect will be drawing some diagrams using unified
modeling language in order to divide the whole project in to modules.
The Technical lead will also draw some diagrams in order to divide the
modules in to sub modules.
The technical lead will also develop the PSEUDO code in order to make
developers comfortable while de3veloping the actual code.

Proof: The proof document of this phase is Technical design document.


IV. Coding phase:
(a) Task: Developing or Programming
(b) Roles: Developers or Programmers
Process: Developers will develop the actual code by using the technical design
document as well as following the coding standards like Proper indentation, color
coding, proper commenting and etc..,

Proof: The proof document of this phase is source code Document.


E.g.: The programmer will develop some programs every one will develop his
program in different colors but the soft ware companies will ask the developers to
develop the program according to the company standards using proper color,
coding, commenting. So as to understand it easily.

V.

Testing Phase:
(a) Task: Testing
(b) Roles: Test engineers
Process:
1. First of all the test engineers will collect the requirements
document and try to understand all the requirements
2. While understanding it at all they get any doubts they will
list out all of them in a review report.
3. They will send the review report to the author of the
requirements document for clarifications.
4. Once the clarifications are given and after understanding
all the requirements clearly, they will take the test case
template and writes the test cases.
5. Once the first build is released then they will execute the
test cases

bandaru7778@gmail.com

Page 5
6. If at all any defects are found. They will list out all of them
in a defect profile template then
7. They will sent the defect profile document to the
development department and then will be waiting for the
next build to be released.
8. Once the next build is released then they re-execute the test
cases.
9. If at all any defects are found they will update the profile
document and sent it to the development department and
will be waiting fro the next build to be released .
10. This process continuous till the product is defect free.
Proof: The proof of the testing phase is Quality Product.

Test Case: (def) Test case is an idea of a test engineer based on the customers
requirements in order to test a particular feature or a function.

VI. Delivery & Maintenance Phase:

Delivery:
(a) Task: - Installing the application in the clients environment
(b) Rolls: -Deployment engineer or Senior test engineers.
Process: - The senior test engineer or deployment engineer will be going to the
clients place and install the application in their environment with the help of the
guidelines provide in the deployment document.

Maintenance:
After delivering the soft wate while using if at all any problem occurs
then that problem becomes a task, based on that problem corresponding rolws will
be appointed, the roles will defined the process and solve that problem.
Some clients may request for the continuous maintenance in such situations a
group of people from the software company will be continuously working on the
clients place and taking care of the soft ware.

Where exactly the testing comes in to picture?
Which sort of testing you are expecting?
How many sorts of testing are there?
There are two sorts of testing.

1. Un-conventional testing
2. Conventional testing
1.Un-conventional Testing: -Unconventional testing is a sort of testing done by
the quality assurance people, in which they test each and every out come document
right from initial phase of the SDLC (Soft ware development life cycle)
2.Conventional Testing: It is sort of testing done by the test engineers on the
application in the testing phase of SDLC.

Testing

Methodology or Testing techniques:

There are three methods of testing


(a) Black-Box Testing
(b) White-Box Testing
(a) Grey-Box Testing

(a) Black-Box Testing: If one performs testing only on the functional part of
an application with out having any structural knowledge then tat method of
testing is known as Black-Box testing, usually the test engineers perform it.
(b) White-Box Testing: If one performs testing on the structural part of an
application then that method of testing is known as white box testing, usually
the developers or white box testers perform it.
(c) Grey-Box Testing: If one performs testing on both the functional part as
well as the structural part of an application then that method of testing as
known as gray box testing using the test engineers who have structural
knowledge will perform gray- box testing.
bandaru7778@gmail.com

Levels of Testing:
There are five levels of testing
1. Unit Level Testing
2. Module Level Testing
3. Integration Level Testing
4. System Level Testing
5. User Acceptance Testing (U.A.B)

1.Unit Level Testing: It is a level of testing in which one will perform testing on the units. It is a
white box testing and usually developers or white box testers will perform.

2.Module Level Testing: Module: Module is defined as a group of related functionalities to perform a major
task
It is a level of tasting in which one will perform testing on the modules. It is a black
box testing and usually test engineers perform it.

3.Integration Level Testing: It is a level of testing in which the developers will develop some interfaces to
integrate the modules and test whether the interfaces are working fine or not. It is a
white box testing usually developers or white box tasters perform.
The developers may follow one of the following approaches while integrating
the modules.
1.Top-down approach
2.Bottom up approach
3.Hybrid or Sandwich approach
4.Bigbang approach
1.Top-down approach: - In this approach one will develop the parent modules
first and then integrate them with the related child modules
2.Bottom-up approach: - In this approach one will develop the child modules
first and integrate them to the parent modules
bandaru7778@gmail.com

Page 8
3.Hybrid approach Or Sandwich approach:- This is a mixed approach of
both the top down and bottom up approaches

4.Big bang approach:-In this approach one will wait till all the modules are
ready and finally they will integrate all the modules at a time
STUB: - While integrating the modules in top down approach if at all any
mandatory module is missing then that module is replace with a temporary
program known as STUB

DRIVER: -While integrating the modules in bottom up approach. If at all any


mandatory module is missing then that module is replaced with a temporary
program known as DRIVER

4.System Level Testing:


It is a level of testing in which one will install the complete application in to
the environment and then perform testing on it. At this level different types of
testing will be done one among those is system integration testing.

5.System integration Testing: It is a type of testing in which once the complete application is developed one
will perform an action at one module and checks for the reflections at the
corresponding modules. It is a black box testing and usually test engineers
perform.

6.User- Acceptance Testing: It is the level of testing in which one will perform the same system testing in
the presence of the user in order to make him accept the application. It is a black
box testing and usually Test engineer performs it.
Environment: - Environment is a combination of three layers (e.g.: Yahoo)
a. Presentation layer
b. Business layer
c. Data base Layer

1.Build Acceptance Testing Or Build Verification Testing Or Sanity


Testing: It is a types of testing in which one will conduct over all testing on the released build
in order to check whether it is proper for further detailed testing or not. Even some
companies call it as smoke testing, but some companies says that just before releasing the
build the developers will conduct the overall testing on the build that is known as smoke
testing and once the build is released what ever the test engineers do in order to accept the
build is known as B.A.T or B.V.T or Sanity Testing.

2.Regression Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the already tested
functionalities again and again.
bandaru7778@gmail.com

12

Page 13
It is usually done in two scenarios.
1. Whenever the testers has raised the defects, rectified by the developers and next
build is released to the testing department then the test engineers will test the
defect functionality as well as the related functionality once again.
2. When ever some new features are incorporated by the developers, next build is
released to the testing department then the test engineers will once again test the
related functionalities of the new features in order to confirm that they are
working same as previous.

Note: - Testing the new functionalities for the first time is known as new testing but not
Regression Testing.

3.Re-Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will test the same functionality again and again
with different sets of values in order to come to a conclusion whether it is working or not.

4.
- Testing (Alpha Testing): It is a type of user acceptance testing in which the test engineers will test the
application in our company, in the presence of the customer.

Advantage: - If at all any defects are found then there is a chance of rectifying them
immediately.

5. -Testing (Beta): It is a type of user acceptance testing done in the clients place either by the endusers or by the third party testing experts before actual implementation.
Drawback: If at all any defects are found then there is no chance of rectifying them
immediately.

6. Static Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the application or
application related factors with out performing any action.
Eg:- Documentary testing, GUI testing, Code reviews and etc.,

7. Dynamic Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will perform in the application or its related
factors by doing some actions
Eg: - Functionality testing.
bandaru7778@gmail.com

8.Installation Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will install the application in to the environment
by following the guide lines provided in the installation document and if the installation is
successful then he will come a conclusion that the given guide lines are correct other wise he
will come to a conclusion that the given guidelines are not correct.

9.Compatibility Testing: It is a type of testing in which one may have to deploy the application in to the
multiple number of environments prepared with different combinations of environmental
components in order to check whether the application is compatible with all that
environments. This type of testing is usually done to products.

10. Monkey Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will perform abnormal action on the application
intentionally in order to check the stability of the application.

11.Usability Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will check whether the application is user friendly
or not and it can be comfortably used by the end user or not.

12. Exploratory Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will (Domain Experts) will perform testing on the
application with out having the knowledge of requirements but by exploring the
functionality.

13.End-To- End Testing: It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on all the end- to-end
scenarios of the application.

14.Port Testing:It is a type of testing in which one will deploy the application in to the clients
environment and check whether it is compatible with that environment or not.

15.Reliability Testing: It is a type of testing I which one will perform testing on the application
continuously for long period of time in order to check the stability of the application

16.Security Testing: Its is a type of testing in which one will concentrate on the following areas of the
application
a. Authentication Testing

Types Of Test Cases:


There are Two types of test cases if we see broadly they are:
1. GUI Test Cases
2. Functional Test Cases
The Functional cases are further divided in to Two types
(a) Positive Test Cases,
(b) Negative Test Cases.

Guide Lines fro developing the GUI Test Cases:

Check for the availability of all the objects


Check for the alignments of all the objects up on customer requirements
Check for the consistency of all the objects
Check for the spellings and grammar
Apart from the above guide lines any thing else that can be tested just by
looking with out doing any actions will fall under GUI test cases

Guide Lines for Positive Test Cases:

A test engineer should have positive mind set up


He should consider the positive flow of the application
He should use only the valid Input

Guidelines for developing Negative Test Cases:

A test engineer should have negative mind set up


He should consider the negative flow of the application
He should use at least one invalid input per a set of data

A test Engineer will do the following during the test execution


1. He will perform the action that is described in the description column
2. He will observe the actual behavior under the actual value column.
3. He will document the observed value under the actual value column.

In this phase the test engineer will compare the expected values with the actual
values and if both are matched they will document the result as pass other wise they
will document the result as fail.

Bug Tracking is a process in which the defects are identified, Isolated and managed

Defect ID: -

The lists of defect numbers are mentioned here in this section.


Defect Description: What exactly the defect is clearly described here in this section.
Steps for reproducibility: The list of all the steps that are followed by the test engineer to identify the defect
will be listed out here in this section.

Severity: How serious the defect is defined in terms of severity, Severity is
classified in to four types:
1.Fatal
2.Major
3.Minor
4.Suggestion

(Sev1) or S1 or 1
(Sev2) or S2 or 2
(Sev3) or S3 or 3
(Sev4) or S4 or 4

1.Fatal:
If at all the problems are related to the navigational blocks or unavailability
of functionality then such type of defects are treated to be fatal defect.

Priority: Priority defines the sequence in which the sequence in which defects has to be
rectified. It is classified in to four types
1.Critical
(Pri1) or P1 or 1
2.High
(Pri2) or P2 or 2
3.Medium
(Pri3) or P3 or 3
4.Low
(Pri4) or P4 or 4
Usually the Fatal defects are given critical priority, Major defects are
given High priority, Minor defects are given Medium Priority and suggestions are
given Low Priority, But depending up on the situations the priority will be changing.
I - Case:
Low severity-High Priority Case: Up on customer visit to the company all the look and feel defects are
given highest priority.
II - Case:
High severity Low Priority Case: When ever 80% of the application is released to testing department as
20% is missing the test engineers will treat them as Fatal defect but the development
lead will give least priority for those defects as features are under development.

Status: New: - When ever the defect is found for the first time the test engineer will set the
status as New.
Open: -When ever the developer accepts the raised defect then he will set the status
as open.
Fixed for verification Or Fixed for rectified: - When ever the developer rectifies the
raised defect then he will change the status to fixed.
Re open and Closed: -When ever the defects are rectified, next build is released to
the testing dept then the test engineers will check whether the defects are rectified
properly or not. If the defect is rectified properly then the test engineer will set the
status as Closed. If the defect is not rectified properly then the test engineer will
set the status as Re open.
Hold: - When ever the developer is confused to accept or reject the defect then he
will set the status of the defect as hold.

Testers Error or Testers Mistake Or Rejected: - When ever the developer is
confirmed it is not at all a defect hen he will set the status of the defect as
Rejected.
As Per Design: - When ever the test engineer is not aware of new requirements and
if he raises defects related to the new features then the developer will set the status
As Per Design.
