1.1 Introduction
Quality assurance is an essential aspect of software development, and software testing plays a
crucial role in ensuring that the software meets the required quality standards. As a result,
internships in quality assurance of software testing are highly sought after professionals alike.
In this internship, I will learn about the various aspects of software testing and quality
assurance, including test planning, test case design, test execution, and defect management.
(Guru99, 2013)
In the ever-evolving landscape of software development, the role of Quality Assurance (QA)
in ensuring the reliability and excellence of software applications is paramount. As
technology advances and user expectations rise, the demand for robust, bug-free software has
never been higher. The success of any software project hinges on its ability to deliver a
seamless user experience, free from defects and vulnerabilities. This proposal outlines the
framework for a comprehensive Quality Assurance Software Testing program, aiming to
address the challenges faced by aspiring QA professionals and bridge the gap between
theoretical knowledge and practical application. (Atlexsoft, 2011)

1.1.1 Functional Testing in Software Quality Assurance

Functional testing in software quality assurance is a crucial process that focuses on verifying
whether the system functions according to its specified requirements and design. This type of
testing ensures that each function of the software operates as intended without delving into
the internal source code. Functional testing aims to validate the behavior of the software
against the documented functional specifications, user requirements, and business processes.
Common types of functional testing include unit testing, integration testing, system testing,
and user acceptance testing. By conducting functional testing, QA teams can identify defects
early in the development lifecycle and ensure that the software meets user expectations and
business needs. (Shenoy, Associtation computing libary, 2019)

1.1.2 Non-Functional Testing in Software Quality Assurance

Non-functional testing in software quality assurance is a critical aspect that focuses on
evaluating attributes beyond the core functionality of the software. Unlike functional testing,
non-functional testing assesses aspects such as performance, security, scalability, reliability,
and usability. This type of testing aims to measure how well the software performs under
various conditions and stress levels. Examples of non-functional testing include performance
testing to evaluate speed and responsiveness, security testing to identify vulnerabilities,
scalability testing to assess system capacity, and usability testing to gauge user-friendliness.
Non-functional testing helps ensure that the software not only works correctly but also
delivers a positive user experience and meets quality standards set by industry regulations or
best practices. (Bhanushali, 20115)

1.1.3 Postman
Postman is a widely used tool for API testing that allows testers to discover endpoints, make
requests, create test data, run regression testing, and implement continuous integration of API
testing using tools like Newman. While Postman is user-friendly and supports multiple
platforms, it has limitations in scalability and performance testing. To overcome these
limitations, developers, DevOps, and QA engineers can convert their Postman tests to JMeter
scripts for load testing. This conversion enables multithreaded execution, performance metric
collection, advanced reporting, bottleneck identification, and evaluation of API endpoints'
performance under heavy loads

1.1.4 Cypress
Cypress is an open-source test automation tool that supports various types of testing using
JavaScript, including component testing, end-to-end testing, and API testing. It provides an
all-in-one solution for different types of tests within a single framework. While Cypress
offers easy setup and efficient mocking features for API testing, it has limitations in extensive
API testing support and requires technical knowledge of JavaScript. Additionally, Cypress
lacks built-in HTML reporters for reporting purposes and cannot be used for performance
testing

1.1.5 JMeter
JMeter is a powerful tool primarily used for load testing to assess the performance of web
applications under various load conditions. It allows testers to simulate heavy loads on
servers, analyze performance metrics, identify bottlenecks, and measure system behavior
under stress. By converting Postman tests to JMeter scripts, testers can leverage JMeter's
multithreaded execution capabilities, obtain detailed performance metrics for APIs, and
generate advanced reports correlating load with response time and errors. JMeter's HTTP(S)
Test Script Recorder facilitates the conversion process by intercepting requests generated by
Postman and converting them into HTTP Request sampler.
2 Problem Statement
The software industry is constantly evolving, and with the increasing complexity of software
systems the need for effective quality assurance has become more critical than ever. Despite
the importance of software testing, many organizations struggle implement effective testing
processes, resulting in poor quality software that fails to meet user expectations. This
internship aims to address this problem by providing with hands-on experience in quality
assurance and software testing. (Bakhur, 2024)
The lack of adequate test automation tools and frameworks hinders the scalability and
efficiency of QA processes, leading to delays in testing cycles. Effective communication and
collaboration between QA teams, developers, and other stakeholders are essential for
successful QA outcomes. Inadequate communication can lead to misunderstandings, delays
in issue resolution, and a lack of alignment on quality goals. Inconsistent or ad-hoc QA
processes within organizations can lead to inefficiencies, gaps in testing coverage, and
difficulties in tracking quality metrics. Standardizing QA processes is essential for
maintaining consistent quality standards across project. (Bindu, 2018)

3. Objective
