How to write a Test Case? In software testing test case (TC) writing is one of the important activities. Many things will be left out if you are not following the proper process in this area. In this article let us try to identify some of the critical areas what you must keep in your mind while writing TCs for your project. TC must contain clear definition of the condition for which you are testing the application. In any standard test cases template, there is a precondition section present so make sure you fill that up properly. So if you are testing login function under 50% load for performance testing in the precondition mention "system is having 50% process utilization." So later on if the client wants to check for what condition, you have checked this TC, they can refer the precondition section.   TC must be clearly traceable to a requirement. The ultimate goal of any testing is to make sure that you have TCs for each requirement. It is a...

ISTQB Exam Question Paper, Part 5 1 We split testing into distinct stages primarily because: a) Each test stage has a different purpose. b) It is easier to manage testing in stages. c) We can run different tests in different environments. d) The more stages we have, the better the testing. 2 Which of the following is likely to benefit most from the use of test tools providing test capture and replay facilities? a) Regression testing b) Integration testing c) System testing d) User acceptance testing 3 Which of the following statements is NOT correct? a) A minimal test set that achieves 100% LCSAJ coverage will also achieve 100% branch coverage. b) A minimal test set that achieves 100% path coverage will also achieve 100% statement coverage. c) A minimal test set that achieves 100% path coverage will generally detect more faults than one that achieves 100% statement coverage. d) A minimal test set that achieves 100% statement coverage will generally detect more fa...

Automation Tools for Regression Testing Once the application code changes it is carried out its re-testing which is also called regression testing. This is done to make sure that everything is working correctly and that the changes did not result in any new software bugs. The destination of this type of testing is to verify that operating functions are not broken after the change of the code. It is important to conduct regression testing as often as possible (for example, after new software build), so that code modifications that damaged how application works can be quickly identified and fixed. As soon as there is something to test, then regression testing begins. Regression testing begins as soon as there is something to check at all. The regression test suite grows as the application moves ahead and test engineers add test cases that test new or rewritten code.  Soon the suite may extend to thousands of test cases that cover various application functions. Obvious...
