Hi Trainee_Tester,

Please dont specify that your questions have to be answered by moderators and expert members.Even a person of 5 to 6 Years of Experience would have joined this forum recently.

And Answer to your question

"first one
1) as a begineer what should one start with in tesing!!!"

if you are a begginer in testing itself and you joined any company recently.. you will get training from the company itself....
Or if your question meant that how we have to start testing....there are different ways in testing an application.As Anil Kumar suggested those are the different types of testing.

Unit testing,Integration testing are done at the Developement side.....means they are the initial testing techniques done by developers

Sanity testing,Smoke Testing,regression testing are done from the testers ,these are called black box techniques.
System testing is also one black box testing technique ,but for end to end testing ,system testing is used..

To know about performance issues, we will go for Performance testing.. for example: if a website is slow.. why is that slow..? so they apply different metrics....

hope you understood....

Thanks
Krishna...

First of all ...let you aware of Software Development life cycle and Software Testing Life Cycle....all the best

I agree, :)

as u learn more and more of SDLC and STLC... you will know where to start and where to end and what test is which level.
