"Software testing is like smoke testing in plumbing – it checks for leaks in the system. Just like the smoke test, we prioritize critical functionality. We also use a test policy document to define our objectives and QC standards. The test methodology document helps us finalize the test responsibility matrix. It’s like mapping the plumbing system to make sure everything runs smoothly. π§ͺππ¨βπ»"
Introduction π
In this beginner’s class on manual software testing in Marathi, we will explore the basics of software testing and delve into topics such as smoke testing, depth testing, and various testing documents.
Understanding Smoke Testing π
Smoke testing is used to check for any leaks in an application. It involves testing the critical functionalities and grouped test cases to determine if all options are visible.
| Test Cases | Priority | Functionality |
|---|---|---|
| Grouped | High | Critical |
Depth Testing and Application Documentation π
As we dive deeper into depth testing, we will learn about the documentation related to the application, including documents such as the Business Requirement Specifications (BRS) and the Business Requirement Document (BRD). These documents are instrumental in understanding the system and identifying any defects through a planned testing approach.
"Documenting testing policies and objectives is crucial for organizations to achieve their goals." – Unknown
Understanding Test Documentation π
In the process of documenting test strategies and methodologies, we need to differentiate between Quality Control (QC) and Quality Assurance (QA). These define the objectives and approaches of the organization in achieving quality analysis.
Test Documents and Methodology π
Defining Test Policy π
Test policies outline the objectives and standards that organizations aim to achieve through their testing processes. This is a company-level document prepared by quality control personnel.
| Document | Objective | Prepared by |
|---|---|---|
| Test Policy | Defines the organization’s objectives | Quality Control |
Test Strategy and Approach π
In the test strategy document, the project manager outlines the approaches to achieve the project’s objectives. This includes defining the scope, objectives, and responsibilities.
Step 1: Developing a Scope and Objective
Step 2: Analyzing Test Responsibility Matrix
Test Methodology and Responsibility π‘
The test methodology document is a project-level document prepared by the project manager. It focuses on finalizing the Test Responsibility Matrix (TRM), which is a mapping between development stages and testing issues.
In conclusion, understanding the nuances of manual software testing is essential for beginners and professionals alike. By grasping the intricate details of various testing documents and methodologies, one can enhance their skills in the field of software testing.
