7 Stages Of Testing Life Cycle

By
Systems development life cycle is also referred to as the application of development life cycle; it is a word used in system’s engineering information’s system or in software engineering to describe the procedure for planning, creating, developing, testing, or deploying information’s system. The system’s development life cycles concept applies to the range of hardware or software configurations, as a system can be buildup of hardware’s only, software’s only, & a combination of both.

7 Stages of testing life cycles:

1.       TEST PLAN
A Software testing should always initiates with establishing a well thought out of test plan to ensure efficient executions of whole testing process. Efficient test plans must involve clauses about of amount of work to be completed, deadlines or milestones to be met, methods of testing & other formalities like contingencies or risks.
2.       ANALYSIS
In this stage, a functional validations matrix is made. In house & offshore testing team analyzes requirements or test cases which are to be automated & which are to be tested by manually. At the time of this phase you will:
a.       Creates one un-ambiguous set of requirement’s that establishes an agreement between all of the stakeholders on what the system should do.
b.      Provides the developers & all of other stakeholders with clear understanding of the requirements.
c.       Defines boundaries of systems.

3.       DESIGN
If testing team has reached in design phase, it means that there is no confusion and miss-understanding of concerning test plan, validations matrix & test cases. At the Designing Phase, testing team makes appropriate scripts for automated test cases or generates the test data for both automated & manual test cases.
4.       DEVELOPMENT
In this phase scripting is provided. In distinctive cases of development stage, it also involves the unit tests or generating of performance & stress test plans. Generally, it happens when testing initiates together with the software development activity.
5.       EXECUTION
As soon as, the whole scripting has been made it is execution started. Testing team executes the unit tests, & then functionality tests. They identify the bugs on superficial level or report to the software’s developer. After that the extended testing is carried out. Execution section is completed when test or bug reports are made up.
6.       BUG FIXING
If the development team considers the fixing of the bugs, testing team has to re-test the software in the sequence to checks that no new bug has been created while fixing. The Bug Fixing is the least in "Requirement Gathering" section.  Which one is Top down approach?  So bugs are reduced in the preparatory phase.  Bug Fixing is high in last section i.e. "Release and Maintenance". Which one is the bottom up approach?
7.       SOFTWARE IMPLEMENTATION AND MAINTENACE

This is the final & last phase of software testing when each of the test cases is executed & all processes are carried out. The software is delivered for the end users, who tests it or reports if any bug can take place. Maintenance involves in all the activity after installation of software i.e. performed to keep system operational. Two major forms of maintenance processes are adaptive the maintenance or the corrective maintenance.

Steps To Hunt the Bugs Successfully

By
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

By
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

By
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 ...
