Software Testing PP T

The document discusses software testing, which is the process of identifying bugs, ensuring functionality, and validating quality. The objectives of testing are to uncover errors, demonstrate requirements are met, and ensure quality with minimal cost. Testing involves developing test plans, test cases, and executing tests manually or automatically. Different testing methodologies like black box and white box testing are used at various stages like unit, integration, and system testing. The document defines key terms and describes the testing life cycle and various testing types.

INTRODUCTION
It is the process used to identify the correctness,
completeness and quality of developed computer
software.

It is the process of executing a program/application


under positive and negative conditions by manual or
automated means. It checks for the :-
 Specification
 Functionality
 Performance
OBJECTIVES
Uncover as many as errors (or bugs) as possible in a given
product.

Demonstrate a given software product matching its


requirement
specifications.

Validate the quality of a software testing using the


minimum cost
and efforts.

Generate high quality test cases, perform effective tests, and


issue correct and helpful problem reports.
Error, Bug, Fault & Failure
Error : It is a human action that produces the incorrect
result that produces a fault.
Bug : The presence of error at the time of execution of the
software.
Fault : State of software caused by an error.
Failure : Deviation of the software from its expected result. It is
an event.
SDLC(Software Development Life Cycle)

 Standard model used word wide to develop a software.

A framework that describes the activities performed at


each stage of a software development project.

 Necessary to ensure the quality of the software.

 Logical steps taken to develop a software product.


Classical Waterfall Model
Feasibility Study

Requirements Analysis & Specification

Design

Coding & Unit Testing

Integration & System Testing

Maintenance

It is the oldest and most widely used model in


the field of software development.
Testing Life Cycle
Project Initiation
Summary Reports
System Study
Analysis
Test Plan
Regression Test

Design Test Cases


Report Defects

Execute Test Cases


( manual /automated )
Test Plan
It is a systematic approach to test a system i.e.
software. The plan typically contains a
detailed understanding of what the eventual
testing workflow will be.
Test Case
It is a specific procedure of testing a particular
requirement.

It will include:
Identification of specific requirement tested
Test case success/failure criteria
Specific steps to execute test
Test data
Verification vs Validation
• Verification: The software should confirm to
its specification (Are we building the product
right?)

• Validation: The software should do what the user really


requires (Are we building the right product?)
Testing
Methodologies
Black box testing

White box testing


Black box testing
 No knowledge of internal program design or
code required.
 Tests are based on requirements and functionality.

White box testing


 Knowledge of the internal program design
and code required.
 Tests are based on coverage of code
statements, branches, paths, conditions.

Testing Levels
• Unit testing

• Integration testing

• System testing
UNIT TESTING

Tests each module individually.


Follows a white box testing (Logic of the program).
Done by developers.
INTEGRATION TESTING
Once all the modules have been unit tested, integration
testing is performed.
It is systematic testing.
Produce tests to identify errors associated with
interfacing.
Types:
Big Bang Integration testing
Top Down Integration testing
Bottom Up Integration testing
Mixed Integration testing
SYSTEM TESTING
The system as a whole is tested to uncover
requirement errors.

Verifies that all system elements work properly


and that overall system function and
performance has been achieved.

Types:
Alpha Testing
Beta Testing
Acceptance Testing
Performance Testing
Alpha Testing
It is carried out by the test team within the developing
organization .

Beta Testing
It is performed by a selected group of friendly
customers.

Acceptance Testing
It is performed by the customer to determine whether
to accept or reject the delivery of the system.

Performance Testing
It is carried out to check whether the system meets
the nonfunctional requirements identified in the SRS
Types of Performance Testing:
Stress Testing
Volume Testing
Configuration Testing
Compatibility
Testing Regression
Testing Recovery
Testing Maintenance
Testing
Documentation Testing
Usability Testing
DISCUSSION
 In order to be cost effective, the testing must be
concentrated on areas where it will be most effective.

The testing should be planned such that when testing is


stopped for whatever reason, the most effective testing in
the time allotted has already been done.

The absence of an organizational testing policy may


result in too much effort and money will be spent on
testing, attempting to achieve a level of quality that is
impossible or unnecessary.
