Testing Materials

Today, the overall volume of software products sales in the USA amounts $180 billion per year. Due to the bug-bearing functions, the accidents caused by program products have happened regularly. Creating a new project, software companies correspond to the development patterns. Software final users, designers, test engineers, and superior administrators are all engaged in the identification of requirements, characteristics and

Today each and every program product has defects (or so-called “bugs”). Some of them are identified and deleted during coding, and others are found and corrected during official testing as program module are incorporated into a system. Nevertheless, all software producers know that bugs stay in the software and must be corrected later. Testing is an essential precondition for the

The main process of testing includes planning, refinement, execution, recording and verification of completion. Test Planning Test planning must clarify how the test strategy and plan are used in the tested software. It must involve detection of all exceptions to the test strategy and of all software with which the tested software interacts at the time of testing process. Test

Mistakes often leads to the wrong result. A fault is a manifestation of mistake in software (it is also called defect or bug). Such defects can result in a failure, which is a deviation of certain program from its expected maintenance or delivery. Reliability means the probability that software will not lead to the system for failure over a certain

The object-oriented programming features in programming languages usually affect some points of testing. Such characteristics as inheritance and interfaces support polymorphism in which code manipulates objects without knowing their precise class. Testers must make sure that the code works irrespective of the class of such objects. Language characteristics that support and enforce data hiding can make testing more difficult as

Software testing is the process of identifying defects in the computer software. Such flaws can be introduced at any stage of designing or maintenance and be caused by different “bugs”—mistakes, confusions, oversight, or even wrong-headed intent of developers. Testing involves the efforts to identify flaws. But it doesn’t fix the defects associated with tracing bugs. In short, it does not

Probably, the most important test you should pay your attention to is a so-called “smoke test”.Here we’ll explain you what a smoke test is and how to increase its efficiency. How to construct a smoke test Smoke test must be one of your most significant tests. Usually, the purpose of such test is to see if the latest version delivered

Such testing means that the tester tries all the features of a product or product range without automating the test. The most important advantage of manual testing is that it suggests a real-world testing, which means that the tester can test the app just like a final user. This kind of software testing services allows providing a great variety of

Is the process of automation really beneficial? When is it appropriate to automate test cases? We would say that is not necessarily beneficial. For example, sometimes manual testing may be more suitable. Thus, if the application’s user interface must be changed significantly very soon, you’ll have to rewrite the automation. Moreover, it can take too much time to create test

On recording output of the program the testing system should judge its accuracy. How to do it? There are several traditional approaches to this verification process. If there is a sample program that performs the same functions as the one under test, you can compare their output. Write a parallel program that generates exactly the same results, and compare its
