Software Testing

Retesting: Retesting is functional testing type In this type of testing, the tester re tests the application which was earlier reported as a bug and now fixed by the developer. This bug can be due to functionality issues as well as design issues. Retesting the functionality of a link which was previously not working or testing the link accessibility issues of a page etc can be listed as examples for retesting. Regression testing: Regression is a testing of the unchanged area of software or application to ensure working with new changes.Regression testing is done to test whether the changes made on the site have any impact on other modules which were earlier working fine. New requirement change, implementation of new functionality are some of the scenarios where regression testing is effective. Regression testing can be automated using effective automated tools such as Selenium, Quick Test Professional etc.

Test Analysis & Design Test Case Fundamentals What is Test case definition? A test case is a document, which has a set of test data, prerequisite conditions, expected results, developed for a particular test condition in order to verify output against a given requirement. The process of developing test cases can also help find problems in the requirements, architecture or design of software. Test Case Template A test case can have the following elements. Note, however, that normally a test management tool is used by companies and the format is determined by the tool used, this is basic format use when writing test cases from excel tool. Test scenario ID The ID of the test scenario to which this test case belongs<High-level test case belongs to which module>. Test Case ID The ID of the test case. Test Case Description The description/objective of the test case. Prerequisites Any p...
