Dear All,

I have this doubt since when i got to know that i am not testing perfectly.

Does all the testers follow the complete testing process to test an application?

I mainly used to concentrate on security testing, in mean time i used neglect to check all the validation messages... I understand that we in our company does not have any document (SRS,BRS or whatsoever) so i tend to make that mistake. Do actually all the testers do complete process of testing?

Additional question.... Any one list out the (at least approximately) what all kinds of testing to be done for an application... (web/windows/etc)

Regards
Jeevan

What to you mean by complete testing process??? let me know???

Thanks
Deepa

hmm now this is a difficult and testing question for me....

for an application security testing, testing for validations, testing for design issues, testing for database , testing for load, stress, performance...

these are all the kinds of testings applied on the application (at least in my view)... do we have any ideal list of testings?

Hai Jeevan,

What is your role designing test cases else only executing designed test cases???

Thanks
Deepa

ofcourse I design and execute test cases. Thats what i am trying to figure out by posting this forum... list of the things tester do...

You are looking very confused.

Very few testers follow the process.

Keep your eye mainly on Usability and functionality testing. Rest you need not to worry so much. Enjoy your work and reply still any query.

hi jvirala & all,

I also have same confusion as jvirala as in most of the small companies like one i'm working in there are 1-2 testers.
So for any one project each tester has to complete the responsibilities like requirement review, understanding the bussiness logic along with the team, test case designing, test case execution. now this test case execution may include usability, GUI, functional, few aspects of security testing, etc. so that we can have a good quality release of the given application.

I'm really curious to know what kind of process is followed in the big companies where there are separate teams for testing.
Whether any particular tester is asked to concentrate on a particular aspect like security/UI/.. Or whether he is asked to do testing modulewise.

Or is it also related to testing scope?

As far as I know in MNC being a fresher else 1-2 years of exp they will be only executing given list of test cases and in few companies they design as well as execute test cases. It highly depends upon where you are working. Each company has it's own standards and nobody will disclose the standards as it is highly confidential.

Thanks,
