What is software

Software is a collection of computer

programs that help us to perform a task

Types of software

System Software Ex:- Device Drivers, Utilities, OS , Servers

Programing Software Ex:- Compilers, Debuggers, Interpreters

Application Software Ex:- Web Application, Mobile Application, Desktop Application
What is software testing
• Software Testing is a part of software
development process
• Activity to detect and identify defects
• Objective of testing is to release quality
product to client
Software Quality
• Bug free
• Delivered on time
• Within budget
• Meet Requirement/Expectation
• Maintainable
Project Vs Product
Project
If software application develop for specific
customer based on the requirement, then it
called project. (Service Based Company)
Project Vs Product
Product
If software application develop for multiple
customers based on the market requirements,
then it called product. (Product Based
Company)
Why do we need testing?

• To release quality product to the customer.

• Bug free
• Ensure customer expectation
Error, Bugs and Failures
Error

• Incorrect Human Action

• Developer writing program incorrectly, Simply
it says error
Error, Bugs and Failures
Bugs / Defects

• Deviation from expected behavior and actual

behavior
Error, Bugs and Failures
Failure

• Basically, end user action

• Deviation identified by end user
Why the software has bugs?

• Miscommunication or noncommunication
• Software Complexity
• Programing Errors
• Changing requirements
• Lack of skilled testers
Test Design Techniques
Used to prepare data for testing
• Data
Age 20 -30 Yrs
• Coverage
Invalid Valid Invalid

Test Design Techniques

• Equivalence Partitioning (ECP)

• Boundary Value Analysis (BVA)
• Decision Table base Testing
• State Transition
• Error Guessing
Test Design Techniques
Equivalence Partitioning (ECP)
Steps:- Partitioning Data into various classes.
Select data according to the classes.
Then test it
Boundary Value Analysis
• Consider boundary of the value
• Note

 Both Equivalence Partitioning (ECP) and Boundary Value

Analysis used in Input Domain Testing
 That mean the value will be verified in the text box /
input fields
Decision Table base Testing
 Note
 If we have more number of
condition / actions, then we
use decision table techniques

Test Plan
• Test plan is a document describe test scope, test strategy,
objectives, schedules, deliverables and resources required
to perform testing for a software product.
