Module 1 Introduction to Software Testing

1.1 What is Software Testing

It is the process of comparing the actual behavior of an application or


software with the expected behavior.

Ex.
Consider Flipkart application.
Expected behavior for Flipkart==Valid user can select the liked product, add
to cart, make the payment and place an order.
Actual behavior for Flipkart==Valid user selected the Lenovo Laptop, added
to cart, made the payment using UPI and place an order on specific address.

Types of software:
What is project and product?
Project: software is designed for specific customer called as project
Ex. Bank, SBIyono
Product:
Software is developed based on market requirement called as product

1.2 Need of Software Testing

➢ Overall quality assurance (“Software quality is nothing but delivering a bug free
application and delivered on time with all requirements.”)

➢ Early detection of defect will result in good quality software

➢ Cost will be reducing as tested software will not need more rework in terms of time and
money

➢ May be compliance with contact or legal requirement

1.3 Roles and Responsibilities of Software Tester

➢ Understating the requirements of the application

➢ Designing and preparing Test cases to validate application

➢ Defect Report and Tracking
➢ Retest fixed defects of previous builds
➢ Performed various Types of testing assigned by Test Lead
➢ Preparing and sending of status Reports to Lead on assigned tasks

1.4 What makes a good Software Tester?


➢ Understand the Requirement- As a tester, you need to understand what
should be tested and what should be given less priority, what should be
automated and what should be tested manually, which task should be
taken up first and what can be done at the last moment. Once you are a
master of defining priorities, software testing would be really easy
➢ Create number of ideas - A real tester’s job starts only after writing
ordinary test cases. The more you think about how the product can be
used in different ways, you will be able to generate ideas to test it and
ultimately you will gain confidence in the product, customer satisfaction,
and lifelong experience.
➢ Analyze the Date- You need to understand the data collected from
testing and need to analyze them for the particular behavior of
application or product.
➢ You Can Report Negative Things In A Positive Way-A tester needs to learn
tactics to deal with everyone around and needs to be good at
communication. No one feels good when he/she is being told that
whatever they did was completely or partially wrong. But it makes a

whole lot of difference in reaction when you suggest doing something or
rectifying something with better ideas and without an egoistic voice.

Interview question:
1. What is software testing?
2. What were your roles and responsibilities as software tester?
3. What will happen if we skip the testing of software?
