Unit Testing
Type of software testing where individual units or
components of a software are tested
Unit tests help to fix bugs early in the development cycle and save costs.

A developer writes a section of code in the application just to test the function.
They would later comment out and finally remove the test code when the
application is deployed.

A coder generally uses a UnitTest Framework to develop automated test cases

Software Development Life Cycle
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software
industry to design, develop and test high quality softwares.

ISO/IEC 12207 is an international standard for software life-cycle processes. It


aims to be the standard that defines all the tasks required for developing and
maintaining software.

TheTestingAcademy.com
1. Planning and Requirement Analysis
● It is performed by the senior members of the team with inputs from the
customer.
● Sales department, market surveys and domain experts in the industry.

Documents - Statement of Work, Project Plan

Outcome - Various Technical approaches that


can be followed to implement the project
successfully with minimum risks.

2. Defining Requirements
● Define and document the product requirements and get them approved
from the customer or the market analysts

Documents - SRS (Software Requirement


Specification) document

https://sdet.live/samplesrs

Consists of all the product requirements to be


designed and developed during the project life
cycle.

https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/software-requirement-
specification-srs-format/

TheTestingAcademy.com
3. Designing
● Based on the requirements specified in SRS, usually more than one design
approach for the product architecture is proposed and documented in a
DDS - Design Document Specification
Documents - DDS

https://sdet.live/samplesrs

A design approach clearly defines all the


architectural modules of the product along with
its communication and data flow representation

TheTestingAcademy.com
4. Building
● The programming code is generated as per DDS during this stage

Documents - FRDs

https://sdet.live/samplesrs

Developers must follow the coding guidelines


defined by their organization and programming
tools like compilers, interpreters, debuggers

TheTestingAcademy.com
5. Testing
● This stage refers to the testing only stage of the product where product
defects are reported, tracked, fixed and retested, until the product reaches
the quality standards defined in the SRS.
Documents - multiple Docs

https://sdet.live.notes

Full STLC Life Cycle

TheTestingAcademy.com
6. Deployment
● Once the product is tested and ready to be deployed it is released formally
in the appropriate market.

Documents - NA

The product may first be released in a limited


segment and tested in the real business
environment (UAT- User acceptance testing).

TheTestingAcademy.com
BRD
Business Requirement Document i.e. BRD is created during the initial phase of the
project. This document contains the high-level business requirements that could be
easy to follow by business stakeholders, managers, board of directors, etc.

a business requirement document is a functional business requirement that is written in


a well-structured manner without any technical jargon.

● Bank customers should be able to register themselves.


● Registered bank customers should be able to log in.
● Customers should be able to do online transactions.
● Customers should be able to open fixed deposit online.
● Customers should be able to recharge their mobile phones, etc.

TheTestingAcademy.com
FRD
Functional specification document is required with detailed
requirements in technical terms that will be referred by the technical
team for further development of the system.

● Username should not include numeric value.


● The password should be 8 or more char long.
● Only 5 transactions should be allowed in a day, etc

TheTestingAcademy.com
SRS
Software Requirement Specification i.e. SRS Document is one of the
important documents for the development team. It is a complete
description of the behavior of a system to be developed.

SRS document contains all the functional and non-functional


requirements along with the use cases that the software must meet.

Software specification requirement document elaborates on the


business requirements mentioned in BRD to accommodate the
functional and non-functional requirements along with user
intersections with the system i.e. use cases.
document is prepared by system analysts or business analysts and referred by the project management,
development, and implementation teams.

SDLC Models
● Waterfall Model
● Spiral Model
● V-Model
● Agile Model

Other related methodologies are Agile Model, RAD Model, Rapid Application Development and
Prototyping Models.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Waterfall Model

TheTestingAcademy.com
Waterfall Model

TheTestingAcademy.com
Advantages of Waterfall Model
● The product will be of high quality.
● There are less possibilities of detecting problems
because requirement modifications are
prohibited.
● Since the testers are employed later, the initial
cost is lower.
● Preferred for little projects with frozen criteria.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Disadvantages of Waterfall Model
• Requirement changes are not allowed.
• If there is defect in Requirement that will be
continued in later phases.
• Total investment is more because time taking
for rework on defect is time consuming which
leads to
high investment.
• Testing will start only after coding

TheTestingAcademy.com
Spiral Model
Spiral Model is iterative model.
▪ Spiral Model overcome drawbacks of
Waterfall model.
▪ We follow spiral model whenever there is
dependency on the modules.
▪ In every cycle new software will be
released to customer.
▪ Software will be released in multiple
versions. So it is also called version control
model.

TheTestingAcademy.com
The Radius of the spiral at any point
represents the expenses(cost) of the
project so far, and the angular dimension
represents the progress made so far in
the current phase.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Prototyping Model
Prototyping is defined as the process of developing a working replication of a product or system
that has to be engineered. It offers a small scale facsimile of the end product and is used for
obtaining customer feedback as described below:

TheTestingAcademy.com
In each phase of the Spiral Model, the features of
the product dated and analyzed, and the risks at
that point in time are identified and are resolved
through prototyping.

Thus, this model is much more flexible compared


to other SDLC models.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Risk Handling in Spiral Model
A risk is any adverse situation that might affect the successful
completion of a software project. The most important feature of the
spiral model is handling these unknown risks after the project has
started. Such risk resolutions are easier done by developing a
prototype. The spiral model supports coping up with risks by
providing the scope to build a prototype at every phase of the
software development.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Advantages of Spiral Model
• Testing is done in every cycle, before going to
the next cycle.
• Customer will get to use the software for every
module.
• Requirement changes are allowed after every
cycle before going to the next cycle.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Disadvantages of Spiral Model
• Requirement changes are NOT allowed in
between the cycle.
• Every cycle of spiral model looks like waterfall
model.
• There is no testing in requirement & design
phase.

TheTestingAcademy.com
V-Model
The V-model is a type of SDLC model where
process executes in a sequential manner in
V-shape.

TheTestingAcademy.com
V-Model contains Verification phases on
one side of the Validation phases on the
other side.

TheTestingAcademy.com
TheTestingAcademy.com
TheTestingAcademy.com
Verification: It involves static analysis technique (review) done
without executing code. It is the process of evaluation of the
product development phase to find whether specified requirements
meet.

Validation: It involves dynamic analysis technique (functional,


non-functional), testing done by executing code. Validation is the
process to evaluate the software after the completion of the
development phase to determine whether software meets the
customer expectations and requirements.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Advantages
• Testing is involved in each and every phase.

Disadvantages
• Documentation is more.
• Initial investment is more.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Static V/S Dynamic Testing
Static testing is an approach to test project documents in the form of Reviews,
Walkthroughs and Inspections.

Dynamic testing is an approach to test the actual software by giving inputs and
observing results.

TheTestingAcademy.com
TheTestingAcademy.com
AGILE MODEL
The Agile model is a combination of an incremental and iterative approach and is focussed
on fitting in well with flexible requirements.

Agile is an iterative approach to project management and software development that helps
teams deliver value to their customers faster and with fewer headaches

the project is divided into small subparts and is delivered in iterations. The subtasks are
divided into time frames to serve working functionality with each build. As a result, the final
product has all the required features.

TheTestingAcademy.com
TheTestingAcademy.com
Instead of betting everything on a "big
bang" launch, an agile team delivers
work in small, but consumable,
increments.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Benefits:

Quick development
Quality and measurable results
Business value can be delivered –
demonstrated fast
Requires minimum resources
Highly adaptive to changing requirements

TheTestingAcademy.com
Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)
Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a sequence of different activities performed during the software
testing process.

Static Testing
Static Testing is a type of a Software Testing method which is
performed to check the defects in software without actually
executing the code of the software application.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Static Testing done with Static Analysis
Static Analysis:
Static Analysis includes the evaluation of the code quality that is
written by developers. Different tools are used to do the analysis of
the code and comparison of the same with the standard.
It also helps in following identification of following defects:

(a) Unused variables


(b) Dead code
(c) Infinite loops
(d) Variable with undefined value
(e) Wrong syntax

User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
Acceptance Testing is a method of software testing where a system is tested for
acceptability

After completion of system testing UAT team conducts acceptance


testing in two levels.
- Alpha testing
- Beta testing

It is a formal testing according to user needs, requirements and business


processes conducted to determine whether a system satisfies the acceptance
criteria or not and to enable the users, customers or other authorized entities to
determine whether to accept the system or not.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Types of Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): User acceptance testing is used to determine
whether the product is working for the user correctly. Specific requirements
which are quite often used by the customers are primarily picked for the testing
purpose. This is also termed as End-User Testing.

Business Acceptance Testing (BAT): BAT is used to determine whether the


product meets the business goals and purposes or not.

BAT mainly focuses on business profits which are quite challenging due to the
changing market conditions and new technologies so the current
implementation may have to being changed which results in extra budgets.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Types of Acceptance Testing
Contract Acceptance Testing (CAT) :
CAT is a contract that specifies that once the product goes live, within a
predetermined period, the acceptance test must be performed and it should
pass all the acceptance use cases. Here is a contract termed a Service Level
Agreement (SLA)

Regulations Acceptance Testing (RAT): RAT is used to determine whether


the product violates the rules and regulations that are defined by the
government of the country where it is being released. T

Types of Acceptance Testing

Operational Acceptance Testing (OAT): OAT is used to determine the


operational readiness of the product and is non-functional testing. It
mainly includes testing of recovery, compatibility, maintainability, reliability, etc.
OAT assures the stability of the product before it is released to production.

TheTestingAcademy.com
Types of Acceptance Testing
Alpha Testing: Alpha testing is used to determine the product in the
development testing environment by a specialized testers team usually
called alpha testers.

Beta Testing: Beta testing is used to assess the product by exposing it to


the real end-users, usually called beta testers in their environment. Feedback
is collected from the users and the defects are fixed. Also, this helps in
enhancing the product to give a
