Software Testing-Manual Testing
MANUAL TESTING
TMM ( Test Management Measurements), PCM (Process Capability Measurements) II) Test Strategy: It is also a company level document and developed by QA people. It defines testing approach followed by testing team.
100%----Project Cost 64% Development & Maintenance and 36% for Testing Ex: Test Methodology, Test Plan, Test case etc.,
III)Test Factors: To define quality S/W, quality analyst defines
15 testing issues. Test factor or issue means that a testing issue to
apply on S/W to achieve quality.
IV)Test Factors VS Black Box Testing Techniques
V)Test Methodology: It is a project level document and developed
by QA or PM. It is a refinement form of Test Strategy. To prepare test
methodology , QA or PM depends on below factors.
VI)Testing Process
VII)PET Process: (Process experts, tools and technology) This
testing process developed by HCL and approved quality analyst form of
India. It is a refinement of V- Modal to define testing process along
with development stages.
VIII)Test Planning: After completion of test initiation, TL of
the testing team concentrate on test planning to define �What to test�,
�How to test� ,�When to test�, �Who to test�?. Test plan author follows
below work bench (process) to prepare test plan document. a) BRS & SRS based coverage b) Risks based coverage c) TRM based coverage X) Test Design: After completion of test plan finalization, selected test engineers involved in required training sessions to understand business logic. This type of training provided by business analyst or functional lead or business consultant. After completion of required training sessions test engineers are preparing test cases for responsible modules There are 3 methods to prepare core level test cases (UI, Functionality, Input domain, error handling, and manual support testing). They are 1) Business Logic based test case design (80%) 2) Input domain based test case design (15%) 3) User Interface based test case design (5%) 1 Business Logic: In general functionality and error handling based test cases prepared by test engineers depends on usecase in SRS. A usecase describes that how a user use specific functionality in our application. A test case describes that a test condition to apply on that application to validate. To prepare this type of test cases depends on usecases, we can follow below approach. Step 1: Collect responsible usecases Step 2: Select Usecase and their dependencies 2.1 Identify entry condition (base state) 2.2 Identify input required (test data) 2.3 Identify exit condition (end state) 2.4 Identify out put and out come (expected) 2.5 Study normal flow (call states) 2.6 Identify alternative flows and exceptions Step 3: Prepare test cases depends on above study Step 4: Review the test case as per completeness and correctness Usecase 1 From a usecase and data modal, a login process allows userid and password. Userid is taking alphanumeric and lowercase from 4 to 16 characters long. Password allow alphabets in lower case from 4 to 8 characters long. Test case 1: Successful entry of userid BVA (Size)------------------------------------ECP (Type ) Min 4-- Pass----------------------------------Valid----Invalid Max 16-- Pass--------------------------------0-9-----A-Z Max �1-- Pass--------------------------------a-z-----Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1-- Pass Max+1-- Fail Min-1-- Fail Test Case 2: Successful entry of password BVA (Size)------------------------------------ECP (Type ) Min 4-- Pass----------------------------------Valid Invalid Max 8 --Pass---------------------------------A-Z Max �1 -- Pass-------------------------------a-z-----Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Pass--------------------------------0-9 Max+1 --Fail Min-1-- Fail Test Case 3: Successful log in User id------------------Password--------------------------- Criteria Valid--------------------Valid---------------------------------Pass Valid--------------------Invalid-------------------------------Fail Invalid------------------Invalid-------------------------------Fail Valid--------------------Blank--------------------------------Fail Blank------------------- Valid---------------------------------Fail UseCase 2 In a insurance application, user can apply for different types of insurances. When a user select type B insurance, system asks age to enter. Age value should be greter than 18 years and should be less than 60 Test case 1: Successful selection of type B Insurance Test Case 2 : Successful focus to age when you select type B Test Case 3: Successful entry of age value BVA (Size)---------------------------------------------------ECP (Type) Min 19 -- Pass------------------------------------------------Valid Invalid Max 59 --Pass----------------------------------------------- 0-9 A-Z Max �1 -- Pass-----------------------------------------------Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Pass------------------------------------------------ a-z Max+1-- Fail Min-1 -- Fail Usecase 4: In shopping application customer can try for purchase order creation. Application takes item no & qty. Item no allows alphanumeric from 4-6 charaters long and quantity allows upto 10 items to purchase. After filling item no & qty , our system returns price of one item & total amount Test Case 1: Successful item no BVA (Size) --------------------------------------------------ECP (Type ) Min 4 --Pass--------------------------------------------------Valid Invalid Max 6 --Pass--------------------------------------------------0-9 A-Z Max �1-- Pass-------------------------------------------------a-z Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Pass--------------------------------------------------A-Z Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 -- Fail Test Case 2: Successful selection of Qty BVA (Size)--------------------------------------------------ECP (Type ) Min 1 -- Pass--------------------------------------------------Valid Invalid Max 10 -- Pass------------------------------------------------0-9 A-Z Max �1 -- Pass------------------------------------------------Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Pass Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 -- Fail Test case 3: Successful calculation Total=price * qty Usecase 4 In banking application user can dial bank using his person computer. In this process user can use 6 digit pwd & below fields. Area code--3 digit no & allows blank Prefix-- 3 digit no, not starts with 0 or 1 Suffix-- 6 digit & alphanumeric values Commonds-- Deposit ,balance enquiry, mini statement ,bill pay Test Case 1: Successful entry of password BVA (Size) ECP (Type ) Min 6--Pass Valid Invalid Max 6 --Pass 0-9 A-Z Max �1 -- Fail Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Fail a-z Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 -- Fail Test Case 2: Successful area code BVA (Size) ECP (Type ) Min 3 -- Pass Valid Invalid Max 3 -- Pass 0-9 A-Z Max �1-- Fail Blank Special Char Min+1 --Fail a-z Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 --Fail Test Case 3 : Successful prefix: BVA (Size) ECP (Type ) Min 200 -- Pass Valid Invalid Max 999 -- Pass 0-9 A-Z Max �1-- Pass Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Pass a-z Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 --Fail Test Case 4: Successful suffix BVA (Size) ECP (Type) Min 6 -- Pass Valid Invalid Max 6 -- Pass 0-9 Max �1 -- fail A-Z Special Char and Blank Spaces Min+1 -- Fail a-z Max+1 -- Fail Min-1 --Fail Testcase 5: Successful commands such as deposit, balance enquiry etc., Test Case 6: Successful dialing with valid values Test Case 7: Unsuccessful dialing without filling all field values except area code Test Case 8: Successful dialing with out filling area code Test Case Format: During test design, test enggs are preparing test case documents in IEEE format. 1) Test Case ID: Unique name or number 2) Test Case Name: Name of the test condition 3) Feature to be tested: Module or feature or service or component 4) Test Suite ID: Batch name, in which this case is a member 5) Priority: Importance of test case P0--- Basic Functionality P1--- General functionality ( ex I/P domain, compatibility, error handling, intersystem testing etc.,) 6) Test Environment: Require H/W and S/W including testing tools 7) Test Effort (person / hr): Time to execute this case, ex 20 min 8) Test Duration: Date & Time 9) Test Setup: Necessary tasks to do before starts this case execution 10) Test Procedure *: Step by step procedure from base state to end state Step No Action I/P Required Expected Result Defect ID Comments Test Design 11) Test Case Pass or Fail Criteria : When this case is pass, when this is case is fail? Note: In general test engg�s are preparing test case documents with step-by-step procedure only (i.e 10th field only) Ex 1: Prepare test case document for successful mail reply. Step No Action IP Required Expected 1 2 Log on to site Click inbox link Valid UID and PWD -- Inbox page appear Mail box appear 3 Select Received mail subject -- Mail message appear 4 Click reply -- Compose window appears with to Received mailed Sub:Re CC: off BCC: off Message : Received message with comments 5 Enter new message and click save --- Ack from web server 2 Input Domain Based Test Case: Usecases are describing functionality in terms of inputs, flow and output. But usecases are not responsible to define size and type of input objects. Due to this reasons test engineers are reading LLD�s also. (data model or ER diagrams). To steady data model test engineer follows below approach. Step 1: Collect data models of responsible modules Step 2: Study the data model to under every input attribute in terms of size , type and constraints Step 3: Identify critical attributes, which are participating in data retrievals and data manipulation. Ex: AC no Account Name Balance Non Critical Address Step 4 : Identify non critical attributes, which are just input/ output type. Step 5: Prepare data matrices for very input attribute in terms of BVA & ECP Input Attribute ECP Valid Invalid BVA Max Min Ex 1: From usecase a bank application allows a fixed deposit form. From the data model that form consists of below fields Customer Name: Alphabets in lower case middle _ Amount : 1500 to 100000 Tenor : upto 12 months Interest: Numeric with decimal From this usecase, if the tenor is greater than 10 months our system allows interest also as greater than 10%. Prepare test case document from above scenario. Test Case 1: Successful entry of customer name Input Attribute ECP BVA Valid Invalid Min Max Customer Name a-z Middle with _ A-Z 0-9 Blank, Special cha Init_ End_ 1 256 Test Case 2: Successful entry of amount Input Attribute ECP BVA Valid Invalid Min Max Amount 0-9 A-Z a-z Blank, Special cha 1500 100000 Test Case 3: Successful entry of tenor Input Attribute ECP BVA Valid Invalid Min Max Tenor 0-9 A-Z a-z Blank, Special cha 1 12 Test Case 4: Successful entry of input Input Attribute ECP BVA Valid Invalid Min Max Intrest 0-9 with decimal A-Z a-z Blank, Special cha 1 100 Test Case 5: Successful fixed deposit with all valid values Step No Action IP Required Expected 1 2 Log on bank server Select fixed deposit form Valid UID -- Menu option appear Fixed deposit form appear 3 Fill fields and click ok Valid name, amount, tenor and interest OR Invalid Ack from bank server Or Error msg Test Case 6: Un successful operation due to tenor is greater than 10 months and interest is less than 10%. Step No Action IP Required Expected 1 2 Log on bank server Select fixed deposit form Valid UID -- Menu option appear Fixed deposit form appear 3 Fill fields and click ok Valid name, amount, tenor >10 months interest<10% Error msg Test Case 7: Unsuccessful operation due to without filling all field values Step No Action IP Required Expected 1 2 Log on bank server Select fixed deposit form Valid UID -- Menu option appear Fixed deposit form appear 3 Fill fields and click ok Valid name, amount, tenor and interest But some as blank Error msg 3 User Interface based test case design: To conduct user interface testing, test engineers are preparing UI test cases depends on our organization, user interface rules, global UI conventions (Microsoft 6 rules) and interest of customer site people. Example: 1) Spelling check 2) Graphic check 3) Meaningful error messages 4) Meangful help documents (Manual support testing) 5) Accuracy of data displayed a. Amount DOB b. Amount DOB DOB dd/mm/yy 6) Accuracy of data in the database as a result of user input Form table Report 7) Accuracy of data in the data base as a result of external factors Ex: Imported files Test case selection review: After completion of all possible test cases writing, test lead and test engg are concentrating on test case selection review for completeness and correctness. In this review test lead apply coverage analysis on that cases a) BR based b) Usecase based c) Data model based d) UI based e) TRM based At the end of this review, TL creates Requirement Trace ability Matrix. This is the mapping between BRS and prepared test cases. This is also known as Requirement Validation Matrix. (RVM). Business Requirements Source (UC, Data Model) Test Cases ******* ******* ****** ****** ******** ******* ******* ******* ******* ******* VI Test Execution After completion of all possible test cases writing for responsible modules and their review, testing team concentrate on test execution to detect defect in build. 1 Test Execution Levels Development Testing Team Initial Build Stable Level-0 (Sanity/BVT/TAT) Build (Test Automation) Defect Fixing Defect Level-1 (Comprehensive Testing) Report 8-9 Cycles Bug Modified Level-2 (Regression Testing) Resolving Build Level-3 (Final Regression) 2) Test Execution vs Test Cases Level �0 -- All P0 Level �1 - All P0, P1 & P2 test cases as batches Level � 2 Selected P0, P1 & P2 test cases wrt modification Level � 3 Selected P0,P1 & P2 test cases wrt build 3) Build Version Control: Testing team receive build from development team through below process Build Softbase FTP ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Test Environment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From the above model, testing team receives build from development through �File Transfer Protocol�. To distinguish between old and modified builds, development use unique no version system. This system is understandable to test engineers. For this version controlling development, team people are using Visual SourceSafe. 4) Level �0: After receiving initial build from development team, testing team covers basic functionality of that build to estimate stability. During this testing, testing team applies below factors to check whether the build is stable for complete testing or not? Understandable Operatable Observable Consistency Simplicity Controllable Maintainable Automatable These are Testability Factors to do Sanity testing. From the above factors, Sanity testing is also known as Testability testing, BVT, Octagonal testing and other shake-ups are called smoke testing. 5) Test Harness (Ready for testing) Test harness= Test Environment + Test Bed (req HW/SW) (Req documents like test case& test procedures) 6) Test Automation: After receiving stable build from development, testing team concentrate on test automation to create automated test script if possible. Test Automation Complete Selective ( all P0 and selective P1 test cases) From the above model test engg�s are following selective automation for repeatable and critical test cases only 7) Level -- 1 (Comprehensive testing): After receiving stable build from development team and completion possible automation, testing team concentrate on test execution to detect defects. They execute tests as batches. Test batch is also known as test suite or test set. Every test batch consists of a set of dependent test cases. During this test case execution as manual or automated, test engineer�s create �Test Log�. It consists of 3 types of entries. Passed, all expected equal to actual Failed ,any one expected vary with actual Blocked, due to failing of parent test Pass Failed Closed Partial Pass/Fail Level -- 2 (Regression testing): During comprehensive test execution, test engg�s are reporting defects to development team. After bug resolving, testing team receives modified build. Before concentrating on remaining comprehensive testing, testing team Re-execute their previous tests on that modified build to ensure bug fix work and possibility of side effects. This type of re- execution of tests is called regression testing. Resolved Bug Severity High Medium Low All P0, All P0 Some of P0, P1 & P2 All P1 Carefully Carefully Selected Selected P2 P1 & P2 Note: If development team release modified builds due to project requirement changes, test engineer executes all P0, P1 and carefully selected P2 test cases.

Test Log : After Completion of Test Execution, tester will prepare document with Test Scenario ID, Test Case ID, Result, Status and Bug ID.
it will give how many test cases u have executed and how many test cases passed, how many failed, what is their status, if it is failed then bug id.
Result: Test casae Passed/failed
Staus: if it is failed, what is present Status-Open/Closed/deffered
at last we will check wheather we met the exit criteria or not.
There is no Test Oracle Document..plz dont confuse others.... Edited by ssekhar.techie - 18Mar2008 at 4:07am |
