Welcome, software testers and compliance geeks! Today we’ll look into Compliance testing, which can sound like a dry and daunting task, but we will make this fun. Consider yourself a software tester who has just been set with verifying that your company’s latest application complies with all the necessary regulations and standards. This might be intimidating, but don’t worry; we’ve got your back.
Can you test 100% of your application? Or can you cover every possible testing scenario? And how much time and resources should you allocate to make the software bug-free? There are multiple questions, and all their answers lie in Test coverage techniques. In this blog, we will discuss the basics of test coverage.
Before getting into the topic of Non-Regression testing, Let’s brush up! When a new code change is made, it can mess up how the software works. Even a tiny change can cause unexpected problems or create new bugs. That’s where Regression testing comes in. Regression testing means running tests to ensure the new code changes didn’t mess up anything already working. But sometimes, there isn’t enough time or resources to run all the tests again.
In this complete guide, we’ll break down the process of pairwise testing into simple steps that anyone can follow. We’ll cover everything from selecting input parameters to creating test cases and analyzing results. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced software tester, this guide has something for everyone. So grab a cup of coffee and get ready to learn how to perform pairwise testing like a pro!
Software testing is a crucial aspect of any software development process, and test design plays a major role in ensuring the effectiveness of the testing process. It refers to the process of creating test cases that can effectively validate the functionality of the software being developed. It involves identifying test scenarios, defining test conditions, and creating test cases that can detect bugs in the software.
You know about different types of testing that follow a hierarchy: unit testing, integration testing, regression testing, acceptance testing, and more. But do you know all these testing types can be executed using different approaches? For instance, a popular approach to Unit testing is TDD (test-driven development). TDD involves creating the unit test code before building the application. Similarly, Incremental testing is a common and most used approach for Integration testing.
Front-end testing is all about ensuring everything looks and works as it should for the user. It involves testing the front-end code’s visual elements, user interactions, and responsiveness. There are various front end testing types- unit, integration, and end-to-end testing. Each type serves a specific purpose in ensuring the quality and reliability of the front-end code.
Bug triage is a critical step in software testing that entails reviewing, prioritizing, and allocating software defects to the appropriate team for resolution. The defect triage phase is an important aspect of the software development lifecycle. It allows teams to analyze and classify detected bugs based on severity and prioritize them accordingly. In this blog, we will go through the mechanics of defect triage and why it is so important for effective software testing.
Picture this: you are an experienced software developer in a globalized world, striving patiently to create the most perfect software that can cater to customers from all walks of life and time, language, and cultures. You have spent countless hours coding, testing, and debugging, but you still can not seem to get it right. Your software works flawlessly in one region, but the moment you introduce it to another part of the world, everything falls apart tremendously.
A bug life cycle (also known as a defect life cycle) refers to the journey of a defect in which a defect passes throughout its lifetime. It entails all states ranging from the detection of a new defect to the closing of the particular defect by a tester. Typically, the bug life cycle in software testing depends on the organisation and the project. The reason is that the software testing process controls it, and it also depends on the tools used.
