  • Smoke Testing
    International Journal of Scientific and Research Publications, Volume 4, Issue 2, February 2014 1 ISSN 2250-3153 Smoke Testing Vinod Kumar Chauhan Quality Assurance (QA), Impetus InfoTech Pvt. Ltd. (India) Abstract- Smoke testing is an end-to-end testing which determine the stability of new build by checking the crucial functionality of the application under test and used as criteria of accepting the new build for detailed testing. Index Terms- Software testing, acceptance testing, agile, build, regression testing, sanity testing I. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this research paper is to give details of smoke testing from the industry practices. II. SMOKE TESTING The purpose of smoke testing is to determine whether the new software build is stable or not so that the build could be used for detailed testing by the QA team and further work by the development team. If the build is stable i.e. the smoke test passes then build could be used by the QA and development team. On the stable build QA team performs functional testing for the newly added features/functionality and then performs regression testing depending upon the situation. But if the build is not stable i.e. the smoke fails then the build is rejected to the development team to fix the build issues and create a new build. Smoke Testing is generally done by the QA team but in certain situations, can be done by the development team. In that case the development team checks the stability of the build and deploy to QA only if the build is stable. In other case, whenever there is new build deployment to the QA environment then the team first performs the smoke test on the build and depending upon the results of smoke the decision to accept or reject the build is taken.

  • Types of Software Testing
    Types of Software Testing We would be glad to have feedback from you. Drop us a line, whether it is a comment, a question, a work proposition or just a hello. You can use either the form below or the contact details on the rightt. Contact details [email protected] +91 811 386 5000 1 Software testing is the way of assessing a software product to distinguish contrasts between given information and expected result. Additionally, to evaluate the characteristic of a product. The testing process evaluates the quality of the software. You know what testing does. No need to explain further. But, are you aware of types of testing. It’s indeed a sea. But before we get to the types, let’s have a look at the standards that needs to be maintained. Standards of Testing The entire test should meet the user prerequisites. Exhaustive testing isn’t conceivable. As we require the ideal quantity of testing in view of the risk evaluation of the application. The entire test to be directed ought to be arranged before executing it. It follows 80/20 rule which expresses that 80% of defects originates from 20% of program parts. Start testing with little parts and extend it to broad components. Software testers know about the different sorts of Software Testing. In this article, we have incorporated majorly all types of software testing which testers, developers, and QA reams more often use in their everyday testing life. Let’s understand them!!! Black box Testing The black box testing is a category of strategy that disregards the interior component of the framework and spotlights on the output created against any input and performance of the system.

  • Smoke Testing What Is Smoke Testing?
    Smoke Testing What is Smoke Testing? Smoke testing is the initial testing process exercised to check whether the software under test is ready/stable for further testing. The term ‘Smoke Testing’ is came from the hardware testing, in the hardware testing initial pass is done to check if it did not catch the fire or smoked in the initial switch on.Prior to start Smoke testing few test cases need to created once to use for smoke testing. These test cases are executed prior to start actual testing to checkcritical functionalities of the program is working fine. This set of test cases written such a way that all functionality is verified but not in deep. The objective is not to perform exhaustive testing, the tester need check the navigation’s & adding simple things, tester needs to ask simple questions “Can tester able to access software application?”, “Does user navigates from one window to other?”, “Check that the GUI is responsive” etc. Here are graphical representation of Smoke testing & Sanity testing in software testing: Smoke Sanity Testing Diagram The test cases can be executed manually or automated; this depends upon the project requirements. In this types of testing mainly focus on the important functionality of application, tester do not care about detailed testing of each software component, this can be cover in the further testing of application. The Smoke testing is typically executed by testers after every build is received for checking the build is in testable condition. This type of testing is applicable in the Integration Testing, System Testing and Acceptance Testing levels.

    1 From Start-ups to Scale-ups: Opportunities and Open Problems for Static and Dynamic Program Analysis Mark Harman∗, Peter O’Hearn∗ ∗Facebook London and University College London, UK Abstract—This paper1 describes some of the challenges and research questions that target the most productive intersection opportunities when deploying static and dynamic analysis at we have yet witnessed: that between exciting, intellectually scale, drawing on the authors’ experience with the Infer and challenging science, and real-world deployment impact. Sapienz Technologies at Facebook, each of which started life as a research-led start-up that was subsequently deployed at scale, Many industrialists have perhaps tended to regard it unlikely impacting billions of people worldwide. that much academic work will prove relevant to their most The paper identifies open problems that have yet to receive pressing industrial concerns. On the other hand, it is not significant attention from the scientific community, yet which uncommon for academic and scientific researchers to believe have potential for profound real world impact, formulating these that most of the problems faced by industrialists are either as research questions that, we believe, are ripe for exploration and that would make excellent topics for research projects. boring, tedious or scientifically uninteresting. This sociological phenomenon has led to a great deal of miscommunication between the academic and industrial sectors. I. INTRODUCTION We hope that we can make a small contribution by focusing on the intersection of challenging and interesting scientific How do we transition research on static and dynamic problems with pressing industrial deployment needs. Our aim analysis techniques from the testing and verification research is to move the debate beyond relatively unhelpful observations communities to industrial practice?

  • Review of Software Testing Nikita Sharma School of Computer and Electronics, IPS Academy, Indore, M.P., India [email protected]
    International Journal of Engineering Research and General Science Volume 4, Issue 3, May-June, 2016 ISSN 2091-2730 Review of Software Testing Nikita Sharma School of Computer and Electronics, IPS Academy, Indore, M.P., India [email protected] Abstract: In general, testing is finding out how well something (software) works. In terms of human beings, testing tells what level of knowledge or skill has been acquired. In computer hardware and software development, testing is used at key checkpoints in the overall process to determine whether objectives are being met. When the design is complete, coding follows and the finished code is then tested. This paper will focus on the main points of testing like why we need testing, Software testing Life Cycle, types of software testing, How testing is carried out in practical environment and finally at the last this paper will conclude about every point which will discuss in this paper. Figure1: Testing Keyword: SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle), STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle), Project life cycle, testing, static testing, dynamic testing, Black box testing (behavioral testing), White box testing (Structural or Glass box testing), Unit testing, Incremental integration testing, Integration testing, Functional testing, System testing, End-to-end testing, Sanity testing (confidence testing, smoke testing), Regression testing, Acceptance testing, Load testing, Performance testing, Stress testing, Usability testing ,Install/uninstall testing, Recovery testing ,Security testing ,Compatibility testing, Comparison testing, Alpha testing, Beta testing ,SRS (software requirement specification), bug, tool, Test Case. Why we need testing: Testing is the process with the intention to find errors/bugs to analyze the actual results with expected results.
