What is Software Testing Metrics with Types & Example?
Software Testing metrics are quantitative steps taken to evaluate the software testing process's quality, performance, and progress. This helps us to accumulate reliable data about the software testing process and enhance its efficiency. This will allow developers to make proactive and precise decisions for upcoming testing procedures.What is a metric in software testing metrics?A Metric is a degree to which a system or its components retains a given attribute. Testers don't define a metric just for the sake of documentation. It serves greater purposes in software testing. For example, developers can apply a metric to assume the time it takes ...
Read MoreWhat is Agile Testing? (Process, Strategy, Test Plan, Life Cycle Example)
What is Agile Testing?Agile Testing is a method of testing that adheres to the rules and concepts of agile software development. Unlike the Waterfall technique, Agile Testing may commence at the beginning of a project with continuous integration of testing and development. The agile testing approach is not chronological (in the sense that it is only conducted after the coding process), but rather consistent.In this article, we will talk about −Agile Test PlanAgile Testing StrategiesThe Agile Testing QuadrantQA challenges with agile software developmentRisk of Automation in Agile ProcessAgile Test PlanThe kind of test performed in that iteration are included in ...
Read MoreDesign Verification & Validation Process in Software testing
You will learn the following in this article −What is Design Verification?Difference between Design Verification and ValidationDesign Verification ProcessDesign Validation ProcessAdvantages of Design Validation and VerificationDesign ValidationDesign Validation is the process of testing a software product to ensure that it meets the specific needs of the customer or partners. The goal of design validation is to check the software product after it has been developed to confirm that it fits the criteria for implementations in the user's environment.Validation is focused on establishing the design's accuracy and reliability in relation to the user's demands. This is the step in which you ...
Read MoreHow to create a Test Strategy Document?
Before learning about Test Strategy Document, you must understand Test Plan. A test plan is a document containing the scope, methods, and objectives of software testing. Since many companies deal with multiple projects, the project team needs to prepare a goal-centric test plan considering the specific requirements of each project.Regardless of the nature of the project (support or development), proper planning remains the significant stepping stone for any testing process. Apart from a brief introduction to the project, the test plan also contains methods and types of testing that testers should execute during the testing.The Test strategy is a document ...
Read MoreExplain Agile Software Process and its Principles
The Agile Manifesto first appeared in 2001. It sought to alter the software creation process. The manifesto has four key aspects, but few people are aware of the 12 Agile Principles. They provide more specific explanations of the process in which agile product development can be carried out. After many years, nearly all companies claim that they provide "agile services", but most only pay lip service to the Agile Manifesto's ideas and concepts. The software development industry has also evolved dramatically. It's worth revisiting the agile standards to check their meanings and whether they're still relevant.Timely and Consistent Delivery of ...
Read MoreDifference Between Top-down and bottom-up Integration Testing
In this post, we will understand the difference between top-down integration testing and bottom-up integration testing −Top-down Integration TestingIt is also known as incremental integration testing.The higher level modules are first tested after which the lower level modules are tested.Once it is done, they are integrated.The higher level modules are the main modules and the lower level modules are the submodules.It uses stubs to simulate the sub-modules.If the sub-module hasn’t been fully developed, the stub acts like a replacement to it.It is useful in cases where significant defect occurs at the top of the program.The main module is designed first ...
Read MoreWhat is Spike Testing? Learn With Example
Spike testing is a type of performance testing used to determine an application's behavior when exposed to extreme traffic variations. In spike tests, the app is revealed to sudden decrease and increase in load. The results are then analyzed based on factors like −Does the app crash?Does the app slow down?How long it takes the app to switch back to normal?Accumulating test results, the developers determine when and where the application fails and then take necessary actions for performance improvement.Example of Spike TestingLet's say X University is all set to upload the results on its official site at 1 −30 ...
Read MoreWhat is Soak Testing? Definition, Meaning, Examples
Soak testing is a non-functional performance testing under which an application is exposed to a continuous load for a pre-determined period. It is also known as Longevity testing and Endurance testing.The term 'soak' itself explained the test's purpose. Let's consider yourself pulling a rope on one end while your friend pulls it on the other end. Now, if you pull it for one hour, it won't affect the rope much. However, if both of you continue to pull it for days, the rope might eventually break.The same rules apply to software as well. When software faces a high load, it may ...
Read MoreWhat is Response Time Testing?
A tester measures an app or site performance by collecting various data during a load or stress test. However, every test starts with sending a request to an application. Once a request is sent, the tester calculates the app's response time by estimating how much time it takes to respond to the specific request. Let's understand response time with real-life examples −Offline exampleLet's assume you are standing at the checkout counter of a grocery store. The cashier takes three minutes to process the products. Now, if you have a lot of customers waiting in front of you, that means you will ...
Read MoreReliability Testing: Methods, Tools, Example
The word 'reliable' means something that is 'dependable' and 'trustworthy.' In other words, a dependable product lives up to its expectation regardless of how much we use it. In software testing, Reliability testing is a process to know whether software can perform as expected under a given environment. Reliability Testing ExampleLet's say you are a graphics designer. So, you may need a PC to run for at least 7-8 hours per day with its full capability without crashing. Reliability testing is the process that can determine whether the PC you are about to purchase can works flawlessly for long hours or ...
