Steps to start testing

After getting build, What is next step to start testing? What are the exact things? Can u explain?

NOTE : [I][This question was asked by Murali.OS][/I]

Hi,

First we need to perform the Smoke testing on the build ...we need to test the build as per the release scope..... major functionality should be tested.

Once the major functionality of the build is passed as per the release scope..We will put a mail to the Dev people saying that "We are Accepting the build for testing"...if the major functionality of the build is failed as per the release scope..... then we will put a mail to the DEv people saying that "WE are not accepting the build for testing as the Smoke test failed
and here are the results 1)Result1 2)Result2"..................

If passed then .............
We start executing the testcases ......and log the issues in Bug tracking tool if the testcase is failed...............

After completion of execution of testcases ...we perform Adhoc testing and then Database testing...............

And if any updations are required in Testcases as per new functionality in the build .........we will update the testcases .................

So this is the process...........

If u have any doubts regarding this ...please feel free to ask me.....

Vasavi

Smoke--Sanity---Functional(actual testing).

Follow the steps for better results

1) We receive the very first s/w build from dev team.
2) We apply level 0 sanity testing to test its testability and understandability.
3) If we find it is not, then the sanity test is failed and we report the problems as to why it is not testable or understandable.
4) We get a fresh s/w build.
5) We apply level 0 sanity testing to the fresh build again. And let us say it is passed this time. Once a build is passed Sanity testing, it is called a "Stable build".
6) We now start our actual testing process by applying the written test cases (functional testing).
7) We found some of the test cases failed. We report the bugs to the dev team.
8) We receive modified build (after resolving the reported bugs).
9) We start regression testing on modified build.
10) Now go back to step 7.

Step 7, 8 and 9 are ongoing……

hi , According 2 me after making builds , each build is smoke tested seperately.After then all the builds are integrated and then smoke tested complete module.

If u find d actual answer , then pls. forward me 2.
