QA Testing, MANUAL TESTING

1.Testing fundamentals

• Introduction
• Why explicitly the s/w companies are recruited the test engineers
• Who can do this Testing
• What is Project
• What is Product
• What is Quality
• The classical definition of quality
• What is Defect
• The latest definition of quality
• What is testing
• What is Bidding the Project
• What is Kick-Off Meeting
• What is a PIN (Project Initiation Note)

2.Real-time manual testing

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC):

SDLC contains six phases they are:

1. Initial phase or requirements phase.
2. Analysis phase
3. Design phase
4. Coding Phase
5. Testing Phase
6. Delivery & Maintenance Phase

(a) Task

(b) Role

(c) Proof

• Templates
• Prototype
• Where exactly the testing comes in to picture
• Kinds of Testing
  • What is Un-conventional testing
  • What is Conventional testing

Testing Methodology or Testing techniques:

There are three methods of testing

        (a) Black-Box Testing

        (b) White-Box Testing

        (c) Grey-Box Testing

Levels of Testing:

1. Dynamic Testing
   • Unit Level Testing
   • Module Level Testing
   • Integration Level Testing
   • System Level Testing
   • User Acceptance Testing (U.A.T)
2. Static Testing
   • Reviews
   • Inspection
   • Audit
   • Walkthrough

Environment:

The environment is a combination of three layers

        a.Presentation layer

        b. Business layer

        c. Database

Types of Software Environment:

There are four types of environments

        a. Stand alone environment or One-tier environment

        b. Client-server environment or Two-tier Architecture

        c. Web environment or Three-tier Architecture

        d. Distributed environment or N-tier Architecture

Software Development Models:

• Water Falling Model
• Prototype Model
• Evolutionary Model
• Spiral Model
• Fish Model
• V-Model

3.Types of Manual Testing

1. Build Acceptance Testing or Build Verification Testing or Sanity Testing
2. Regression Testing
3. Re-Testing
4. α- Testing (Alpha Testing)
5. β-Testing (Beta)
6. Static Testing
7. Dynamic Testing
8. Installation Testing
9. Compatibility Testing
10. Monkey Testing
11. Usability Testing
12. Exploratory Testing
13. End-To-End Testing
14. Port Testing
15. Reliability Testing
16. Security Testing
    • Authentication Testing
    • Direct URL Testing (Uniform Resource Location)
    • Fire Wall Leakage Testing
17. Mutation Testing
18. ADHOC Testing
19. Smoke Testing
20. Incremental Testing
21. Functional and System Testing
    • Usability Testing
    • Functional Testing
    • Performance Testing
    • Security Testing
      • Authorization
      • Access Control
      • Encryption / Decryption

4.Life Cycle of Manual Testing

          Software Testing Life Cycle 

The Software Testing Life Cycle Contains Six Phases. 

They are...

1. Test Planning
2. Test Development
3. Test Execution
4. Result Analysis
5. Bug Tracking
6. Reporting

MISCELLANEOUS

• INTERVIEW TIPS ARE GIVEN along with guidelines to create a catchy resume.
• Assistance to the candidates in Interview help would be given
• I shall also be giving a clear picture of /understanding of how the real environment will be
• Overview of Languages to be learned for Testing
• My training would be more of a practical perspective for the students for them to get a better understanding of Testing is done in a real-time environment.
