Software Testing - Basic to Advanced

1. Introduction to Software Testing

Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or application does what it

is supposed to do. The main goals of testing are to identify bugs and ensure the product meets the

requirements and user expectations.

2. Types of Testing

- Manual Testing: Performed by humans without automation.

- Automated Testing: Using tools/scripts to run tests.

- Static Testing: Reviews, walkthroughs without executing code.

- Dynamic Testing: Testing by executing code.

3. Levels of Testing

a. Unit Testing: Testing individual components/functions.

b. Integration Testing: Testing combined modules.

c. System Testing: Testing the complete system as a whole.

d. Acceptance Testing: Ensuring the system meets business needs (e.g., UAT).

4. Manual Testing - Basics

Manual testing involves checking the functionality of the application by executing test cases manually without

any tool or script. Common techniques include:

- Exploratory Testing

- Test Case Writing

- Bug Reporting

5. Test Case Design Techniques

- Boundary Value Analysis

- Equivalence Partitioning

- Decision Table Testing

- State Transition Testing

6. Automation Testing - Overview

Automation testing involves using tools like Selenium, QTP, JUnit, TestNG to execute tests automatically.

Advantages:

- Faster test execution

- Reusability of test scripts

- Supports regression testing

7. Advanced Testing Concepts

- Performance Testing (LoadRunner, JMeter)

- Security Testing (OWASP, SQL Injection, XSS)

- Compatibility Testing (Different OS, Browsers)

- Continuous Testing in CI/CD pipelines

8. Common Testing Tools

- Selenium (UI automation)

- Postman (API Testing)

- JUnit/TestNG (Java Unit Testing)

- JIRA (Bug tracking)

- Jenkins (CI/CD)

- JMeter (Performance Testing)


Software Testing - Basic to Advanced

9. Best Practices

- Understand requirements thoroughly.

- Write clear and concise test cases.

- Use version control for test scripts.

- Automate repetitive tests.

- Keep detailed logs and reports.

- Perform regular code reviews.

10. Conclusion

Software testing is a crucial part of the development process to deliver high-quality applications. A

combination of manual and automated testing ensures both flexibility and efficiency.
