RE: Realizing you won’t be able to test everything- ho...
First of all if limited time is given by the customer for testing due to immediate release in that case customer also tells which all requirements are critical for him. Hence in that case we'll be testing only those requirements.
Otherwise if nothing is specified by the customer in that case we can proceed as follows:
1. System Testing (wherein we test the Installation compatibility etc). 2. Functional testing (which covers main functionality like as if system is producing accurate output). 3. Performance Testing. 4. Little bit of regression testing
RE: Realizing you won’t be able to test everything- how do you decide what to test first?
when time is less and when requirements are given as a professional test engineer i would proiritise the features then go ahead and test the critical and major features if time permits i would test the minor ones
RE: Realizing you won’t be able to test everything- how do you decide what to test first?
The following are the points that you can test: - The important functionality. - All the links and buttons working properly. - The functionality with positive input works properly. - Links breakages.
