Test-Give The Best

When you go to meet a person for some purpose…. and if he has got a scary and unfriendly appearance. What would be your next step? Dropping the idea of meeting him and searching for another person, who can receive you properly and serve your purpose perfectly with good responses. Am I Right? Now in above statement, think that you are a customer and you visited a web site. And website is the another person who is not so approachable. Here the approach of the web site is design and performance of the site. Visitor will switch to another web site if he is not pleased by its appearance, its performance, its usability. Visitors will explore the site more if they are satisfied. After all this, user tries to check if his purpose is solved or not. Testing functionality, end to end flow, performance is normally done for all web applications. But, what about design and usability testing? In this post I’m going to explain factors to be considered to test a design of an application. Con

Browser compatibility testing which is also called as cross browser testing, multi browser testing , in simple words, is testing a application in different browsers and also in different versions of browsers. This task is mostly automated because it is very difficult to perform it manually. But here I’m going to provide a series of steps which will help you give more test coverage by performing the cross browser testing manually. At the same time there are many hurdles when you start testing a application in different browsers. For example chrome will not let you install different versions of it in your system, similarly with Firefox. So here we go for a quick round up of how to test a web application in different browsers with different versions without struggling. Points to be remembered before performing such testing Note down all the browsers along with their versions in which application needs to be tested. Check the minor versions in them and reduce the count by removing

It is one of the unique methodologies of agile methodology. Scrum  It is an   iterative, incremental   framework for project management . It   is a loose set of guidelines that govern the development process of a product, from its design stages to its completion. It aims to cure some common failures of the typical development process like a. chaos due to changing requirements, unrealistic estimates of time, cost and quality of the product. Meetings 1.      Daily Scrum meeting or daily stand up meeting: agenda:  what is done, what is planned for today, what are the problems in accomplishing the goal? 2.      Sprint planning meeting : Before each sprint cycle (7-30 days)starts, prepare sprint backlog, timelines, 3.      Sprint review meeting: done at the end of sprint cycle, review work completed and not completed, demo the work completed, do not demo incomplete work, 4 hour time will be allocated. 4.      Sprint retrospective meeting: done at the end o

Every web application is expected have at least one submit form. Data entered in form is transferred as input to database or to any other application and will decide the output. So, input data plays a very important role in retrieving the output data. Such data needs to be validated by the code. And tester has the responsibility of validating such data. At this point tester thinks about how can the validations be done and what type of data should be provided to validate the input field. Test data needs to be created and passed to the form through the automation tool or manually. Here are few steps or guide lines to validate the data. Let’s consider a sample form which acts as input to signing in as new member in a social networking site like facebook. It contains different types of input fields – Numeric, String, Alpha Numeric, date, preset values (from drop downs or check boxes), file uploads and Email addresses. Name: String input field Password : Alphanumeri

Testing it is just not a word but it is that act which gives value to the product developed by the developers. It is given more significance in present days but that value needs to be enhanced. Why, let’s see few examples of apps which were not tested perfectly and are in market with defect. These points are based on an excellent article “Perhaps they should have tested more” presented by Joe in his blog. Thanks Joe. 1.     Apple Iphones : Have IPhones failed to make the Daylight Saving Time transition yet again?   iOS 4.1 users in Europe reported that their alarm clocks failed to account for the time change due to the end of Daylight Savings, which shifted their clocks back an hour at 2 am this morning. As a result, their alarms went off an hour too late. 2.     Skype : Supernodes not so super? Skype once again had a worldwide outage related to software problems in their supernodes 3.     Google Docs : A recently-introduced bug in Google Docs caused some documents to be shared with
