Software Engineering Testing and its types
TeDevelopment Testing in Software Engineering
- 1. Development Testing in Software Engineering It is a method of applying testing practices consistently throughout the software development life cycle process. Development Testing aims to establish a framework to verify whether the requirements of a given project are met in accordance with the rules of the mission to be accomplished. This testing is done only once as compared to other testing's which can be performed many times. To meet the deadline date, development testing is performed during the development phase of a software product,
- 2. Development Testing When to perform Development Testing? • When writing new code or building a new software product. • When development cost is low, the client should perform development Testing so that the client doesn’t have to face the debugging and another testing cost.
- 3. Development testing requires some metric • Static code Analysis : Static code analysis is a technique of debugging by analyzing the source code before running a program. It is carried out by analyzing a set of code against a set or multiple sets of coding rules. • Data Flow Analysis : This concept uses the Control flow Graph mechanism to check the flow of the program, at different levels. • Metric Analysis : Metric is a synonym for measurement. To calculate the efficiency of a program, various software metrics like calculating cyclamate complexity, counting Lines of code (LOC), function points, etc. are used in that case.
- 4. • Code review : The source code is inspected and is checked for any flaws in it. It can be used to find and remove flaws in the code such as memory leaks and buffer overflows. It is very important to do a code review in the early phase like a peer review, carry out this step earlier than you send your code to be tested for development.
- 5. Benefits of Development Testing • Early Bug Detecting • Savings on costs • Improved Coding Quality • Increased Output • Easy Maintenance Tools required for Development Testing • Selenium • Testing Whiz • HPE Unified Functional Testing • Watir • Katalon Studio
- 6. What is Test Driven Development (TDD)? • Test-driven development (TDD) is a method of coding in which you first write a test and it fails, then write the code to pass the test of development, and clean up the code. • Test-Driven Development (TDD) is a method in software development where the focus is on writing tests before writing the actual code for a feature. This approach uses short development cycles that repeat to ensure quality and correctness
- 7. Process of Test Driven Development (TDD) • It is the process in which test cases are written before the code that validates those cases. It depends on the repetition of a concise development cycle.
- 8. History of Test Driven Development (TDD)? • TDD shares similarities with test-first programming from extreme programming, which started in 1999. However, TDD has gained more widespread interest on its own. Programmers also use TDD to improve and fix old code written with different methods. Advantages of Test Driven Development (TDD) • Unit test provides constant feedback about the functions. • Quality of design increases which further helps in proper maintenance. • Test driven development act as a safety net against the bugs. • TDD ensures that your application actually meets requirements defined for it. • TDD have very short development lifecycle.
- 9. What is Release Testing? • Release testing is the process of verifying that a particular release of a software product meets the specified requirements and is “ready for release” to the end users. • It is performed to identify any bugs, defects, or issues that may have been missed during the development process and to ensure that the product is of high quality and meets customer expectations before it is made public
- 10. Why perform Release Testing? • The primary goal of a release test is to verify that the software functions as intended and meets the specified requirements. • Identify and resolve issues or bugs impacting the software's performance and functionality. • Ensure that the software is compatible with different operating systems, hardware configurations, and other software products and platforms. • Evaluate software's performance under various conditions, including peak usage and stress testing. • Verify that the software meets desired security and data privacy requirements. • Improve the reliability and stability of the software. • Minimize the risk of customer complaints and increase customer satisfaction.
- 11. Benefits of Release Testing • Increased user satisfaction • Improved quality • Reduced risks • Cost savings • Better performance • Improved collaboration • Better planning
- 12. Types of Release Testing • Functional testing • Performance testing • Security testing • Compatibility testing • Usability testing • Regression testing( Regression tests make sure that the new changes haven't accidentally messed up anything that was already working fine)
- 13. Usability Testing Or Unit Testing • Usability Testing in software testing is a type of testing, that is done from an end user’s perspective to determine if the system is easily usable. Usability testing is generally the practice of testing how easy a design is to use on a group of representative users
- 14. Types of Usability Testing
- 15. • Remote Usability Testing: Participants use a product or website from their own location while researchers observe and gather feedback remotely. It’s convenient and allows testing with diverse users without geographical constraints. • Moderated Usability Testing: A researcher guides participants through tasks, observes their interactions, and collects feedback in real-time. It’s helpful for understanding user behavior and thoughts as they navigate through the product. • Unmoderated Usability Testing: Participants complete tasks independently, without direct guidance from a researcher. They usually record their screen and verbalize their thoughts while interacting with the product. It’s efficient for gathering feedback from a large number of users quickly.
- 16. • Comparative Usability Testing: This involves testing multiple versions of a product or interface to determine which performs better in terms of usability. It helps in making informed design decisions by identifying strengths and weaknesses of each version. • Think-Aloud Testing: Participants verbalize their thoughts and actions as they interact with the product. This provides insights into their decision-making process and helps identify usability issues that might not be obvious otherwise • A/B Testing: Also known as split testing, it involves presenting users with two (or more) versions of a product or interface and measuring which one performs better based on predefined metrics such as conversion rate or user engagement.
