4. Testing & Quality
Testing & Quality

5. What is Quality?
“Degree to which a set of inherent
characteristics fulfils requirements”
ISO 9000:2000

6. Quality Control Vs. Quality Assurance

7. Verification Vs. Validation

8. Why testing ?
Software Testing is necessary because
we all make mistakes. Some of those
mistakes are unimportant, but some of
them are expensive or dangerous. We
need to check everything and anything
we produce because things can always
go wrong –humans make mistakes all
the time.

9. Why testing ? “benefits”
- Reduces costs
- Increases dependability
- Increases speed
- Increases customer retention
- Increases profit
- Customer satisfaction

10. Why testing ? “Iceberg Theory”

11. Cost of bugs

12. Examples of known bugs
- A Norwegian bank ATM consistently dispersed 10 times
the amount required.
- A software flaw caused a UK bank to duplicate every
transfer payment request for half an hour. The bank
lost 2 billion British pounds!
- Titanic.
- Companies bounty.

13. Quality Career
 SDLC
 SQL Skills
 Programming Skills is plus
 Writing Test cases.
 Reporting and following up bugs

14. Writing test cases
- Headline “Title”.
- Preconditions
- Steps.
- Expected Result.
- [Environment].
- Status.
- [SQL Query]

15. Writing bugs
- Headline “Title”.
- Preconditions
- Steps.
- Actual Result.
- Expected result.
- Severity (Critical, Major and Minor).
- Priority (High, Medium, Low)
- [Environment].
- Screenshots and videos

16. Bug Life Cycle
New Assigned Open Resolved Verify
Closed
Reopened

17. Bugs May be ...
- Defect
- Fault
- Problem
- Error
- Incident
- Variance
- Failure
- Inconsistency
- Product Incidence
- Feature :-)

18. Testing types
- Functional Testing
- Non Functional Testing
- Maintenance Testing

19. Functional Testing types
- Black Box test : method of software testing that examines the functionality
of an application without peering into its internal structures or
workings. This method of test can be applied to virtually every level of
software testing: unit, integration, system and acceptance.
- White Box test : testing technique, that examines the program structure
and derives test data from the program logic/code. The other names of
glass box testing are clear box testing, open box testing, logic driven
testing or path driven testing or structural testing.
- Unit test : process in which the smallest testable parts of an application,
called units, are individually and independently scrutinized for proper
operation. Unit testing is often automated but it can also be done
manually.
- Integration test : is the phase in software testing in which individual
software modules are combined and tested as a group. It occurs after
unit testing and before validation testing.

20. Functional Testing types
- Smoke test / Sanity : testing to reveal simple failures severe enough
to reject a prospective software release. A smoke tester will
select and run a subset of test cases that cover the most
important functionality of a component or system, to ascertain if
crucial functions of the software work correctly
- User Acceptance test : the last phase of the software testing process.
During UAT, actual software users test the software to make sure
it can handle required tasks in real-world scenarios, according to
specifications.
- Regression test : is a type of software testing that verifies that
software that was previously developed and tested still performs
correctly after it was changed or interfaced with other software.
Changes may include software enhancements, patches,
configuration changes, etc.

21. Non Functional Testing types
- Performance test : is a type of testing intended to determine the
responsiveness, throughput, reliability, and/or scalability of a system
under a given workload.
- Load test : type of software testing which is conducted to understand the
behavior of the application under a specific expected load. Load testing
is performed to determine a system's behavior under both normal and
at peak conditions.
- Stress test : It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often
to a breaking point, in order to observe the results. used to determine
the stability of a given system.
- Usability test : is the best way to understand how real users experience
your website or application. Unlike interviews or focus groups that
attempt to get users to accurately self-report their own behavior or
preferences, a well-designed user test measures actual performance on
mission-critical tasks.

22. Non Functional Testing types
 Security test : a testing technique to determine if
an information system protects data and
maintains functionality as intended. It also
aims at verifying basic principles as following
(Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication,
Authorization, Availability).

23. How to be good tester
 Negative Thinking.
 Good observer.
 Testing technique skills.
 Octopus mind.
 Leadership.
 Analytical and judging skill.
 Communication.
 Know Tools (automation, performance, IMS, …etc )
