  • Studying the Feasibility and Importance of Software Testing: an Analysis
    Dr. S.S.Riaz Ahamed / Internatinal Journal of Engineering Science and Technology Vol.1(3), 2009, 119-128 STUDYING THE FEASIBILITY AND IMPORTANCE OF SOFTWARE TESTING: AN ANALYSIS Dr.S.S.Riaz Ahamed Principal, Sathak Institute of Technology, Ramanathapuram,India. Email:[email protected], [email protected] ABSTRACT Software testing is a critical element of software quality assurance and represents the ultimate review of specification, design and coding. Software testing is the process of testing the functionality and correctness of software by running it. Software testing is usually performed for one of two reasons: defect detection, and reliability estimation. The problem of applying software testing to defect detection is that software can only suggest the presence of flaws, not their absence (unless the testing is exhaustive). The problem of applying software testing to reliability estimation is that the input distribution used for selecting test cases may be flawed. The key to software testing is trying to find the modes of failure - something that requires exhaustively testing the code on all possible inputs. Software Testing, depending on the testing method employed, can be implemented at any time in the development process. Keywords: verification and validation (V & V) 1 INTRODUCTION Testing is a set of activities that could be planned ahead and conducted systematically. The main objective of testing is to find an error by executing a program. The objective of testing is to check whether the designed software meets the customer specification. The Testing should fulfill the following criteria: ¾ Test should begin at the module level and work “outward” toward the integration of the entire computer based system.

  • Leading Practice: Test Strategy and Approach in Agile Projects
    CA SERVICES | LEADING PRACTICE Leading Practice: Test Strategy and Approach in Agile Projects Abstract This document provides best practices on how to strategize testing CA Project and Portfolio Management (CA PPM) in an agile project. The document does not include specific test cases; the list of test cases and steps for each test case are provided in a separate document. This document should be used by the agile project team that is planning the testing activities, and by end users who perform user acceptance testing (UAT). Concepts Concept Description Test Approach Defines testing strategy, roles and responsibilities of various team members, and test types. Testing Environments Outlines which testing is carried out in which environment. Testing Automation and Tools Addresses test management and automation tools required for test execution. Risk Analysis Defines the approach for risk identification and plans to mitigate risks as well as a contingency plan. Test Planning and Execution Defines the approach to plan the test cases, test scripts, and execution. Review and Approval Lists individuals who should review, approve and sign off on test results. Test Approach The test approach defines testing strategy, roles and responsibilities of various team members, and the test types. The first step is to define the testing strategy. It should describe how and when the testing will be conducted, who will do the testing, the type of testing being conducted, features being tested, environment(s) where the testing takes place, what testing tools are used, and how are defects tracked and managed. The testing strategy should be prepared by the agile core team.

  • Functional Testing Functional Testing
    From Pressman, “Software Engineering – a practitionerʼs approach”, Chapter 14 and Pezze + Young, “Software Testing and Analysis”, Chapters 10-11 Today, weʼll talk about testing – how to test software. The question is: How do we design tests? And weʼll start with Functional Testing functional testing. Software Engineering Andreas Zeller • Saarland University 1 Functional testing is also called “black- box” testing, because we see the program as a black box – that is, we ignore how it is being written 2 in contrast to structural or “white-box” testing, where the program is the base. 3 If the program is not the base, then what is? Simple: itʼs the specification. 4 If the program is not the base, then what is? Simple: itʼs the specification. Testing Tactics Functional Structural “black box” “white box” • Tests based on spec • Tests based on code • Test covers as much • Test covers as much specified behavior implemented behavior as possible as possible 5 Why Functional? Functional Structural “black box” “white box” • Program code not necessary • Early functional test design has benefits reveals spec problems • assesses testability • gives additional explanation of spec • may even serve as spec, as in XP 6 Structural testing can not detect that some required feature is missing in the code Why Functional? Functional testing applies at all granularity levels (in contrast to structural testing, which only applies to Functional Structural unit and integration testing) “black box” “white box” • Best for missing logic defects Common problem: Some program logic was simply forgotten Structural testing would not focus on code that is not there • Applies at all granularity levels unit tests • integration tests • system tests • regression tests 7 2,510,588,971 years, 32 days, and 20 hours to be precise.

These bottlenecks include finding and setting up test environments, test configurations, and test results implementation. These issues are not industry specific. They can be experienced in manufacturing, service businesses, and governments alike. They can be reduced by having a thorough understanding and a disciplined, mature implementation of Continuous Testing and related recommended engineering practices. The best place to start addressing these challenges is having a good understanding of what Continuous Testing is. Marc Hornbeek, the author of Engineering DevOps, describes it as: “A quality assessment strategy in which most tests are automated and integrated as a core and essential part of DevOps. Continuous Testing is much more than simply ‘automating tests.’” In this whitepaper, we’ll address the best practices you can adopt for implementing Continuous Quality and Testing on the AWS Cloud environment in the context of the DevOps model.

  • Performance Engineering in Scrum
    PERFORMANCE ENGINEERING IN SCRUM Balasubramanian, Infosys Technologies Limited This paper describes how performance engineering as a software discipline should be planned and executed in an agile development cycle. The intention of this paper is not to explain in detail the agile methodology or Performance engineering, even though it provides a high level description of the same. It is expected that the readers have a basic understanding of agile methodologies and performance engineering. Introduction Agile as a software development methodology is fast becoming a popular approach due to its ability to react to business changes. While there are still fears about adopting an agile approach to software development, the industry is clearly seeing a rise in agile adoption. Every year, thousands of dollars are being spent to fix poorly performing applications. This has made the software industry to relook at the way performance engineering is executed. A more proactive approach to architect and design for performance is now planned than a reactive post-mortem like approach. There needs to be a clear direction in identifying the various activities of performance engineering and executing them in logical sequence during an agile development process. This paper aims at suggesting one such approach by indicating various performance engineering activities across an agile development process. Overview of Agile Traditionally software has been developed using a waterfall approach. While this suited the initial days, as business complications grew and demand for time to market increased, waterfall model did not deliver the required results. Agile methodology was born out the need to respond to rapidly changing business requirements and deliver increments of shippable application with time to market as the primary focus.

    API Testing Guide An automated approach to API testing transformation. From Monolith to Microservice The consumerization of IT has changed the way we write applications today. Instead of building a single, monolithic system that is installed on a server in a back office or call center, modern When testing APIs, testers are faced with applications are scattered within mobile devices and web browsers numerous discrete units of work. Some so users can gain access to services at anytime from anywhere. of these APIs may have been created by a third party, while the possible And modern applications are no longer self-contained; they are ordering and combinations of different composed of multiple service components that are tied together versions of APIs can cause the number of at runtime. Therefore, the end-user experience is not powered by combinations that need to be tested to the elegant UIs we all use, but by APIs that facilitate interactions skyrocket to an impossible number. between code modules, applications and back-end IT systems.
