Database Testing

The document discusses manual and automated testing techniques. Manual testing involves testing one by one to find bugs before launch. Automated testing uses tools and scripts to automate efforts. Some manual techniques include exploratory, functional, compatibility, and error guessing testing. Automated techniques include frameworks, data driven, behavior driven development, continuous integration, and performance testing.

Database testing

Manual testing is the process in which QA analysts execute tests one-by-one in an individual manner. The
purpose of manual testing is to catch bugs and feature issues before a software application goes live.

Automated testing is the process in which testers utilize tools and scripts to automate testing efforts.

Manual Testing Techniques:

1. Exploratory Testing: Testers explore the application without predefined test cases. They
use their experience and intuition to uncover defects.
2. Ad-hoc Testing: Testers perform tests based on their knowledge of the application
without a formal test plan.
3. Functional Testing: Verify that the software functions according to the specified
requirements. Techniques include:
o Smoke Testing: Execute a subset of test cases to check if the basic functionality
is working.
o Regression Testing: Re-test existing functionality to ensure that new changes do
not introduce defects.
o User Acceptance Testing (UAT): End-users validate the software's usability and
functionality.
4. Non-functional Testing: Assess non-functional aspects like performance, security, and
usability.
o Performance Testing: Evaluate the application's speed, responsiveness, and
scalability.
o Security Testing: Identify vulnerabilities and ensure data protection.
o Usability Testing: Assess the user-friendliness of the application.
5. Compatibility Testing: Ensure the software functions correctly across different devices,
browsers, and operating systems.
6. Boundary Value Analysis: Test input values at the boundaries of defined ranges to
uncover defects related to boundary conditions.
7. Equivalence Partitioning: Divide input data into classes or partitions to test
representative values from each class.
8. Error Guessing: Testers use their intuition and domain knowledge to identify potential
error-prone areas.

Automation Testing Techniques:

1. Test Automation Frameworks: Use established frameworks (e.g., Selenium, Appium,


JUnit, TestNG) to structure and organize automated test cases.
2. Data-Driven Testing: Separate test data from test scripts to run the same test with
multiple data sets.
3. Keyword-Driven Testing: Create test scripts using keywords and actions, allowing non-
technical team members to write and execute tests.
4. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD): Use tools like Cucumber or SpecFlow to write
tests in a human-readable format and promote collaboration between developers and non-
technical stakeholders.
5. Test Scripting: Write automated scripts to perform repetitive tasks and validate
application functionality.
6. Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Testing: Integrate automated tests into
CI pipelines to run tests automatically with code changes.
7. Parallel and Distributed Testing: Execute tests concurrently on multiple environments
or devices to save time.
8. Cross-Browser and Cross-Platform Testing: Automate tests to verify compatibility
across various browsers and platforms.
9. Performance Testing Automation: Use tools like JMeter or Gatling for automated load
and performance testing.
10. API Testing Automation: Automate API testing using tools like Postman, RestAssured,
or SoapUI.
11. Code Analysis: Use static code analysis tools to identify potential issues in the test
automation code.
12. Test Maintenance: Regularly update and maintain automated test scripts to keep them
aligned with changing application functionality.
