SDLC–Software Development Life Cycle

SDLC is a process of developing various quality Software.
Phases in SDLC :
 Requirements gathering
 Analysis
 Design
 Coding/Development
 Testing
 Deployment/Production
 Maintains/Support

Types of SDLC Models
 Waterfall model or Life Cycle Model or Linear Sequential Model
 V- Model or Verification & Validation Model
 Agile …etc

Waterfall model
 This model suggests a systematic and sequential approach to software
development that begins at requirements analysis and progress through all
life cycle phases sequentially
 Suitable for projects where requirements are clearly defined
 Small and medium term duration
 Having Domain knowledge

Advantages :
 Project under Control
 Pre-defined outputs at every phase
 Tracking changes is easy
Disadvantages:
 Not suitable for requirements changes
 Does not support going back to previous phase
 If any defect found need to go back to the originating phase

V - model
 V model means verification and validation model, the V shaped life cycle
is a sequential path of execution process.

Advantages :
 Simple and easy to use
 Testing activities like planning and test design will be done before coding
 Testing planned parallel to development
 Bug detection in early phases
Disadvantages:
 If any changes happen in midway, then the test document along with
requirements documents has to be updated.
 Not Suitable for large and complex projects
 The client sees the only final project ,not intermediate modules

Agile - Process
Overview of Agile Process
 Customer satisfaction by rapid delivery of useful software.
 Welcome changes in requirements ,even late in development
 Working software is delivered frequently (weeks rather than months)
 Close ,daily cooperation between business professionals and developers
 Continuous attention to technical excellence and good design

Mr.Suresh 8 of 26

Typical QA Approach for Agile Projects

Agile - Terms
 User Story – A shorthand requirements document.
 Product Backlog -- A prioritized list of stories that are waiting to be
worked on.
 Product Owner -- person whom holds the vision for the product.
 Scrum Master Role The Scrum Master is a facilitator for the team and
product owner.
 Sprint -- A development process
 Stand-up Meeting– a short (15 minutes or less) daily meeting during
which team members report on what they have accomplished since the
last meeting, what they plan to accomplish today and report any
impediments or blockers to making progress.
 Scrum Meeting – To discuss on Sprint planning, development and
Review.

Test Case Design Techniques

Test Case: Design techniques can broadly split in to 2 categories.
Black box techniques
White box techniques
Black box techniques
 Equivalence Class Partitioning(ECP)
 Boundary Value Analysis(BVA)
 State Transition
 Decision Table / Cause Effect Table
White box techniques
 Statement Testing
 Branch/Decision testing
 Data flow Testing
 Branch condition testing

Mr.Suresh 13 of 26
 Selenium Training by Suresh
Equivalence Class Partitioning (ECP) :
Divide a set of test conditions into groups which is having similar behavior to
reduce number of test cases.

Boundary Value Analysis(BVA):

BVA is based on testing the boundaries of condition
Formula : Minimum ,maximum ,Min-1 ,Max+1
Valid Boundaries : Minimum , Maximum
Invalid Boundaries : Min-1 ,Max-1

State Transition Table:

Application provides different output for same input based on previous stage

Decision Table :
Testing with different combination of inputs which produce different results.

Defect Management
Defect Status : New ,Open ,Fixed ,closed ,Re-Open ,Not a bug, Duplicate
,Need More information, Can't reproduce .
Severity: Importance of defect with respective to functional point of
view…means criticalness of defect with respective to application.
Severity classification could be : CRITICAL , HIGH ,MEDIUM ,LOW
Priority: Importance of defect with respective to client point of view … means
how soon it should be fix.
Priority Classification could be : P1-Urgent ,P2-High ,P3-Medium ,P4-Low

Difference between Defect /Bug/Error/Failure

Defect : Problem which is identified on Developer machine at development
phase
Bug : Problem which is identified on Testers machine at testing phase
Error: Problem which is related to coding.
Failure : Problem which is identified By end users at production phase

Steps to Create Test Cases in JIRA :

 In JIRA, Test case, Bug, Epic and Story will be called as Issues.
 To create a JIRA issue, you need the Create Issue project permission for
the issue's relevant project. If you do not have this permission, please
contact your JIRA administrator.
 To create a new JIRA issue (Test case):
 Click Create at the top of the screen to open the Create Issue dialog box.
 Select the relevant Project and Issue Type on the Create Issue dialog box.
 Under the tests tab, click on create a test.
 Please see the below screenshots for reference:

 Enter the test case summary in the summary filed.

 Assign the test case to anyone by typing their name.
 Enter the description of the test case.

 Test case will be created and an ID will be assigned to it . Once the test
case is created you can add test steps and expected results as shown in
next page.
 Click under the test steps and enter the steps. Click under the Expected
results and enter the results and click on update.

When to stop Testing?
This can be difficult to determine. Most modern software applications are so
complex, and run in such an interdependent environment, that complete testing
can never be done. Common factors in deciding when to stop are:
 Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.)
 Test cases completed with certain percentage passed
 Test budget depleted
 Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a specified point
 Bug rate falls below a certain level
 Beta or alpha testing period ends
