great,
Very useful.
cheers,

Really very use comments ..Ganesan

Hi All,

I am a fresher and i want to start my testing career. can anyone help me ....
1. Realtime testing process with example.
2. Role of tester in that example.
3. how do i prepare for testing interview.

Thanks in advance,
Smith

Thanks for giving such good explanation.

thats good

This is awesome stuff

thxx..dudee...

Hi all,

I am a trainee tester,,,,,,can anybody send me wts the exact difference b/w walkthroughs,reviews & inspections,,,,,if possible with examples,,,,,
pls kindly revert to this post if u know ans,,,,,,

Thanks & Regards,
venu

The review means a meeting conducted by a group of members to find out the defects in the earlier stage itself.
The difference b/w walkthrough and inspection are
Walkthrough is the semi formal reviewe, there may or may not requires the paper works
Inspection is the formal review conducted by other than testing team specifically by Project manager with TL and tester of testing group. It requires a valid doc. preparation.

Thanks for very useful information ganesh

hi can anyone help me to know abt manual testing and about loadrunner!

Hi..............

Very very helpful documents.Can you upload some document related to SDLC and V-model

the systems development life cycle (sdlc), or software development life cycle in systems engineering, information systems and software engineering, is the process of creating or altering systems, and the models and methodologies that people use to develop these systems. The concept generally refers to computer or information systems. there are 5 phases in sdlc requirements gathering and analysisthe goal of system analysis is to determine where the problem is in an attempt to fix the system. This step involves breaking down the system in different pieces to analyze the situation, analyzing project goals, breaking down what needs to be created and attempting to engage users so that definite requirements can be defined. Requirements analysis sometimes requires individuals/teams from client as well as service provider sides to get detailed and accurate requirements....often there has to be a lot of communication to and from to understand these requirements. Requirement gathering is the most crucial aspect as many times communication gaps arise in this phase and this leads to validation errors and bugs in the software program. designin systems, design functions and operations are described in detail, including screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams and other documentation. The output of this stage will describe the new system as a collection of modules or subsystems. The design stage takes as its initial input the requirements identified in the approved requirements document. For each requirement, a set of one or more design elements will be produced as a result of interviews, workshops, and/or prototype efforts. Design elements describe the desired software features in detail, and generally include functional hierarchy diagrams, screen layout diagrams, tables of business rules, business process diagrams, pseudocode, and a complete entity-relationship diagram with a full data dictionary. These design elements are intended to describe the software in sufficient detail that skilled programmers may develop the software with minimal additional input design. build or codingmodular and subsystem programming code will be accomplished during this stage. Unit testing and module testing are done in this stage by the developers. This stage is intermingled with the next in that individual modules will need testing before integration to the main project. testingthe code is tested at various levels in software testing. Unit, system and user acceptance testings are often performed. This is a grey area as many different opinions exist as to what the stages of testing are and how much if any iteration occurs. Iteration is not generally part of the waterfall model, but usually some occur at this stage. Below are the following types of testing: data set testing. Unit testing system testing integration testing black box testing white box testing regression testing automation testing user acceptance testing performance testing production process that ensures that the program performs the intended task. operations and maintenance the deployment of the system includes changes and enhancements before the decommissioning or sunset of the system. Maintaining the system is an important aspect of sdlc. As key personnel change positions in the organization, new changes will be implemented, which will require system updates. The v-model is a software development process (also applicable to hardware development) which can be presumed to be the extension of the waterfall model. Instead of moving down in a linear way, the process steps are bent upwards after the coding phase, to form the typical v shape the main phases of v model is verification phase and validation phase 1 verification phases 1.1 requirements analysis 1.2 system design 1.3 architecture design 1.4 module design 2 validation phases 2.1 unit testing 2.2 integration testing 2.3 system testing 2.4 user acceptance testing for more infor go to Systems Development Life Cycle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/v-model...e_development)

HI i want to learn automation tool but witch tool is the best witch tool i must learn . plz give me suggestion

There are variety of automation tools following are some of the widely used tools

QTP: Functional testing tool by HP. good support and service but need to pay for license. Coding is done in VBScript

LoadRunner: Performance testing tool by HP. good support and service but need to pay for license . Coding is done in C like language.

Selenium: Open source functional testing tool. support is not that good since it is open source but very powerful and coding can be done in Java, Ruby, Pearl, Python, C#, PHP languages. But detects only browser objects and can be used to automate only web application.

AutoIt: Open source tool. Limited functionality. only for windows objects. can be used along with selenium to meet the requirements of automation
