Alternative Ways of Software Testing
2006-12-06 18:26:01 If there is absolutely no time for you to document your system, do consider these other approaches of testingUser/Acceptance Testing User Testing is used to identify issues with user acceptability of the system. The most trivial to the most complicated defects can be reported here. It is also possibly the best way to determine how well people interact with the system. Resources used are minimal and potentially requires no prior functional or system knowledge. In fact the more unknown a user is to the system, the more preferred he is for user testing. A regressive form of user testing can help uncover some defects in the high-risk areas.Random / Exploratory TestingRandom Testing has no rules. The tester is free to do what he pleases and as he seems fit. The system will benefit however, if the tester is functionally aware of the domain and has a basic understanding of business requirements. It will prevent reporting of unnecessary defects. A variation of random testing, called as Monte... More About: Software , Alternative , War , Ware
Your Ignorance May Help You in Testing !
2006-12-06 18:26:01 From: Quality VistaSome testers take it upon themselves to learn as much as possible about the inner workings of the system under test. This type of gray box testing is valuable, and most testers have the technical wherewithal to grasp much of what is going on behind the scenes. But it is important to recognize that sometimes ignorance is strength when it comes to finding problems that users will encounter.When it comes to software testing, ignorance can actually be a source of strength. In particular, software testers who are not familiar with how the system has been put together can be in a better position to find certain bugs than testers who may be more familiar with the system internals.Test ers are often treated as second-class citizens, and this makes many of them eager to learn as much as they can about the software they are testing in order to prove their technical competence. This is no wrong, but we nned to recognize the maximum benefit of the inherent unfamiliarity that t... More About: Testing , Your , Help , Sting
