INTRODUCTION
Software testing: Testing a software for its Correctness Completeness Security.

CIA Technologies

INTRODUCTION

SQA Software Quality Assurance is testing a software product completely in a broader aspect. Software testing is a part of SQA.

CIA Technologies

Why Testing?
Quality Control & Assurance Verification & Validation Incompatibility & Interoperability

CIA Technologies

Misunderstanding about Testing

Testing

is debugging Testing never ends Testing is not the job of a programmer

CIA Technologies

Types
Manual

Testing

Test Case Creation Test Case Execution Bug Reporting

TESTING OBJECTIVES
Testing

= executing a program to find an

error Quality of a test case: probability of finding an as-yet undiscovered error. A successful test uncovers a lot of undiscovered error

CIA Technologies

TESTING PRINCIPLES
All tests should be Made according to customer requirements planned long before testing begins begin in-the-small and progress toward inthe-large Exhaustive testing is not possible

CIA Technologies

Classification of testing
It is broadly classified based on point of view a test engineer takes as Black-box testing White-box testing

CIA Technologies

BLACK BOX TESTING

Only

inputs and output functionality are visible Inputs are given and outputs are compared against specification. No implementation details of the code are considered.

Data driven testing.

CIA Technologies

BLACK BOX TESTING

Targets: To find incorrect or missing functions interface errors performance errors

CIA Technologies

WHITE BOX TESTING

Contrary

to black-box testing. structure and code are visible. Implementation of the software is given importance programming language, logic, and styles are considered.

CIA Technologies

WHITE BOX TESTING

Targets: To check Control-flow Looping data-flow all the nodes or paths are covered or traversed at least once.

CIA Technologies

PERFORMANCE TESTING
software

should not take infinite time or infinite resource to execute. PERFORMANCE BUGS process that causes system performance to degrade. Usage of workload to check software performance.

CIA Technologies

PERFORMANCE TESTING
Targets: To check CPU cycles. Disk space. Disk access operations. Memory usage.

CIA Technologies

RELIABILITY TESTING
probability

of failure-free operation of a

software. Robustness testing - degree to which it can function correctly in the presence of exceptional inputs.

CIA Technologies

RELIABILITY TESTING
Targets: To check for robustness problems such as machine crashes. process hangs. abnormal termination.

CIA Technologies

SECURITY TESTING
Need for security testing: Flaws in software can be exploited by hackers. With the development of the Internet, software security problems are becoming even more severe.

CIA Technologies

SECURITY TESTING
Targets: To check security violations. validating the effectiveness of security measures. Simulated security attacks to find security vulnerabilities.

CIA Technologies

TESTING AUTOMATION
The need: Software testing can be very costly. Automation is a good way to cut down time and cost. In order to automate the testing process we have to generate the test cases to check for complete correctness.

TESTING LEVELS
Acceptance

testing system requirementperformed after testing and before implementation phase. Alpha testing - testing by an independent test team at developers' site. Beta testing beta versions released outside the company sometimes to open public to increase feedback.

TESTING CYCLE

CIA Technologies

When to Stop Testing?

Bug

rate is least Deadlines Test budget has been depleted

CIA Technologies

SUMMARY
Testing

is a destructive activity. Testing cannot show the absence of defects. Testing > 30% of total effort.

CIA Technologies

SUMMARY
All

tests should be traceable to customer requirements. White-box testing. Black-box testing

CIA Technologies

SUMMARY
Software

quality, reliability and security are tightly coupled. Robustness, performance, reliability testing.
