What is Cause Effect Graph? Write the steps for cause effect graph.



Cause Effect Graph

It’s a directed graph which maps a set of causes to set of effects. The cause can be from input of the program and effect can be from output of the program. The graph represents the nodes representing the causes on left side and nodes represent the effects on the right side. It is a dynamic test case writing technique. Here causes are input conditions and effects are results of those input conditions. This is a logical relation between inputs and outputs.



The goal of this technique is to reduce the number of test cases for maximum coverage. But it takes time to model all your requirements into this cause-effect graph before writing test cases. Steps for any cause effect graph is: -
Step – 1: In module, identify the input condition (cause) and action (effect).
Step – 2: Develop cause-effect graph.
Step – 3: Transform cause-effect graph into a decision table. 
Step – 4: Convert decision table rules to test cases. Each column of the decision table represents a test case.

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

The testers should catch the bugs in software that they’re testing. Testers should try to catch as several vital bugs as soon as possible. Catching the crucial bug earlier on Product-Life-Cycle can save the Projects from financial losses & mitigate the risks as compared for catching the same at a later stage in SDLC. Steps to hunt the bugs: Sometimes it’s useful to break the rules: The following test cases, which were predefined a tester can miss the bugs so it makes it impossible’s to provide the product i.e. 100 percent bug free. If you-follow pre-determined test cases you risks becoming blind to outside the bugs. A first secret is to check the functionality under the test. It’ll be an effective channel to discover the more bugs, because functionality is not generally covered by the test cases. Examine the patterns: You might have noticed that the bugs can be often met in the groups, one can call them-gregarious. The testing a new but the similar functionality...

Cross browser testing Tools

Cross Browser testing It is a process to test the web apps across multiple browsers. It involves the checking compatibility of the app across multiple web browsers & ensures that your web app’s works correctly across different web browsers. Tools for Cross Browser Testing Browser shots: The browser shots might be most exhaustive cross browser-testing tool that exists. Browser Shots includes all of most popular-browsers, like Firefox, Chrome, & Safari, along with the tons of another browser’s that might sound unfamiliar, like Sea Monkey, Flock, & Iceape. You can adjust the resolution, color-settings, & even Flash and JavaScript settings. Cross Browser Testing: It allows users to test their websites with over the hundred resolution or browser and Operating System combinations. This also has support to mobile web-browsers, which is crucial because the web traffic is making shift from the primarily desktop computer users to primarily mobile ...

Mobile Application Testing: Strategy for Development

There are a huge number of demands and lots of competitions in the mobile application industries. In that demands and competitions, the mobile application testing has become more important. The testing phase of the mobile application testing looks like evil between the creative process and excitement of new products in the market. According to the survey, “In US, on an average 2-3 hours per day people spends their time on smartphones and tablets. On that time, they spent 80% on mobile application and remaining 20% on web applications.” Few list of key factors for successful mobile application testing strategies are: Selection of Device for Testing : Before introducing the mobile application test activities, first select the devices for testing the application. Selection decision is very important because only devices can help to targets maximum numbers of the customers for accessing the application. There are two parts for device selection: §   Device Model ...
