Hi I need urgent Help regarding this Test Scenario. Thanks in advanceYou work as a Tester, and your Team Lead bring someone who knows nothing about testing, and asks you to train that person. So Scenario is something like this “You are testing an application where you’re entering all your bio-data and when you’re done you press the button and it give you a happy face in the end. That application is on C++, instead of a happy face you have a message “Run time error”

i am just thinking like this

1. Start the application.
2. Enter the details like your Name, Address,Phone no, Mail id (ex: whatever fields are present in filling up the biodata). Click Submit or any other button.
3. It should display the Happy Face. This is the expected result, according to the requirements specification.
But here in Step 3 ,the actual result is you are getting Run Time Error , so you can mark there is an bug and you can send it to the developer attaching the screen shot and the place where you got the RunTime error and the steps to reproduce the bug.

Correct me if I am wrong.

Hi Sneha,

I absoulutely agree with you on the above scenario, But also would like to say that it might depend on the type of testing you doing.

As an end to end tester first I would the positive testing and then go for the negative scenario testing as you have done.

1) Check is there any Logical or Syntax error in that applicaton before execution

2) After that C++ executed sucessfully without errors then enter ur bio-data and press the button

3) As per specification A happy face will appear in the end

4) If step 3 get fails and "Run time error" message appear, then mark it as an issue and assign it to the devlopment team....

Its bug only. Tester should ask the trainee to report the bug in bug report with proper and understand format with Test Data.

The Test Data and the Test steps are important for the noticeable bug, which denotes the situation and in what case it comes.

First of all I can teach him about what is requirement, what is testing and what we need to in testing, what is bug with simple words.

And in present scenarios it's an issue, so I will explain him about the bug and tell what we need to now if we found an issue like posting the issue in defect tracker and how to sent the status mail to concerned point of contact.

This is how you train the new functional black-box tester.  Note that it doesn't matter what programming language was used to code the application.

1) Show the new tester how to review the requirements and specifications of the application
 
2) Show the new tester how to create a test case

Prerequisites: 
Must have proper bio-data.

Test Steps:
1. Run program
2. Enter bio-data
3. Press button

Expected Results:
Happy face appears as shown in accompanying illustration (see happyface.jpg).
 
3) Show the new test how to map requirement(s) to test case.

4) Show the new tester how to set priority and severity of test case.

5) Show the new tester how to execute the test case.

Here, you experience the 'run time error'

6) Show the new tester how to file a defect report.

Title:  Entering bio-data causes 'run time error'

Description:  When we input bio-data and pressed the button, we received 'run time error'.

Severity = 1
Priority = 1
