Explore It! – How this book opened my mind to exploratory testing. When we’re learning about Software Testing, we want to be better testers. We’re starting to improve our skills, explore more and more testing techniques. I wanted to improve my exploratory testing to test the web applications more effectively. One time I started to…
ISTQB Online
We’re living currently in difficult times. COVID-19, unemployment, economic crisis. This situation affects our motivation to get a new better job, sometimes we lose our current job. No matter, what happens, some of us think: Maybe now is the time to change something in my life? Maybe a new job? What about IT? Software Testing,…
Test Types and Maintenance Testing
In the last two posts, we’ve focused on Test Levels. We got the knowledge about what are they and how to use them in Software Development Lifecycle. In this post we will take a note on Test Types. But we need to answer the question: What are the Test Types? Test Types are the group…
Test Levels (part 2)
As I wrote in my previous post, this one will be about System Testing and Acceptance Testing.Well, let’s start to talk about the 2 last Test Levels. We will start with System Testing System testing focuses on the behavior and capabilities of a whole system or product, often considering the end-to-end tasks the system can…
Test Levels (part 1)
In the last two posts, we explained what the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is. We also got an answer to the question: Why is the SDLC important from the tester’s point of view and what is the role of the tester in it?We also explained how the SDLC presents itself in the context. Because…
SDLC in context
As I said in my previous post, this one will be about the Software Development Lifecycle in context.This will be a short post and will include a lot of useful information. SDLC model needs to be selected and adapted to the context of project and product characteristics. A suitable software development lifecycle model ought to…
Testing in SDLC
Testing in SDLC? No problem, but what is the SDLC exactly? SDLC is nothing other than the Software Development Lifecycle.The SDLC describes the types of activities related to another logically and chronologically and includes the test levels and test types. Why is that important in Software Testing? Tester plays an important role in SDLC and…
7 Testing Principles
Does the tester need the guide for all testing?Yes, and the 7 testing principles offer those guidelines.Let’s dig into these principles and talk about them. 1. Testing shows the presence, not their absence. But what does it mean exactly?That means, we can discover a lot of bugs in the tested software, but we cannot prove…
Test process and its details
In my previous post, I wrote about testing is not only one activity but it’s included in the whole testing process.Let’s remind ourselves of the list of the test process: Test planning Test monitoring and control Analysis of the tests Test design Test implementation Execution of the tests Test completion It’s time to write something…
First word about testing
What is Software Testing? Why is so important and why a lot of people think it’s the only activity?This question I’ll provide the answer today. Software Testing is the process during which the software achieves a high level of quality and decreases the level of risk, which could make as a software failure. The main…
