Methods of Software Testing There are two basic methods of performing software testing: 1. Manual testing 2. Automated testing Manual Software Testing As the name would imply, manual software testing is the process of an individual or individuals manually testing software. This can take the form of navigating user interfaces, submitting information, or even trying to hack the software or underlying database. As one might presume, manual software testing is labor-intensive and slow.

Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. In simple words, testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual requirements.
Why Software Testing is Crucial in Software Development_.pdfXDuce Corporation
Software testing is the process of verifying and then confirming that a software application or product
performs as expected or not. Testing has its own set of advantages like bug prevention, lower costs of
development, and comparatively better performance.
The software cannot be said to be bug-free from the start. Therefore, software developers might strive
to write code that will reduce the number and severity of flaws that are already there. However, the
majority of bugs are latent and only emerge when the conditions are right.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Fundamentals of Testing
1.1 Why is Testing Necessary ?
1.2 What is Testing ?
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.5 psychology of Testing
9. 1.1.1 Software Systems Context
Most people have had an experience with software
that didn’t work as expected.
Software that doesn’t work correctly can lead to
many problems, including
Loss of Money, time, or business reputation
Could cause injury or death
1.1Why is testing necessary
10. 1.1.2 Causes of Software Defects
Defects may result in failures, but not all defects do so.
1.1Why is testing necessary
Error (mistake)
Defect (fault-
bug)
Failure
11. 1.1.2 Causes of Software Defects
Causes of Defects :
Human beings are fallible
Time pressure
Complex code
Complexity of infrastructure
Changing technologies
Many system interactions
1.1Why is testing necessary
12. 1.1.2 Causes of Software Defects
Failures can be caused by enviromental conditions like :
Radiation
Mangetism
Electronic Fields
Pollution
1.1Why is testing necessary
13. 1.1.3 Role of Testing in Software Development,
Maintenance, and Operations
Rigorous Testing can help to reduce the risk of problems occuring
during operation and contribute to the quality of the system, if
defects found are corrected before release.
Testing may also be required to meet contractual or legal
requirements, or industry-specific standards.
1.1Why is testing necessary
14. 1.1.4 Testing and Quality
With the help of testing, we can measure the quality of software for
both functional and non-functional requirements.
Testing gives confidence in the quality of the software if it finds few or
no defects.
When testing finds defects, the quality of the software systems
increases when those defects are fixed.
1.1Why is testing necessary
15. 1.1.4 Testing and Quality
Lessons should be learned from previous projects. By understanding the
root cause of defects, processes can be improved, which prevents those
defects from reocurring and improves the quality of the system
Testing should be integrated as one of quality assurance activities
1.1Why is testing necessary
16. 1.1.5 How Much Testing is Enough
It depends on :
Level of risk including technical, safety, and business risks
Project constraints such as time and budget
Testing should provide sufficient information to stakeholders
to make decisions about the release of the software.
1.1Why is testing necessary
17. Sample Questions
Deciding how much testing is enough should take into accout:-
i. Level of risk including technical and business product and project risk
ii. Project constraints such as time and budget
iii. Size of testing team
iv. Size of development team
a) i,ii,iii are true and iv is false
b) i,,iv are true and ii is false

21. Sample Questions
A phone is ringing in an adjacent cubicle momentarily distracts a
programmer, causing him to improperly program the logic that checks the
upper boundary of an input variable. Later, during system testing, a tester
notices that this variable accepts input values. The improperly coded logic
for the upper boundary check is:
a) The error
b) The defect
c) The root cause
d) The failure

1.1Why is testing necessary
23. A perception of testing is that it only consists of running tests
(Executing the software). This is part of testing but not all of the testing
activities.
1.2 What is Testing ?
24. Testing activities exist before and after test execution. These activities
include:
Planning and control
Choosing test conditions
Designing and executing test cases
Checking results
Evaluating exit criteria
Reporting on the testing process and system under test
Finalizing or completing closure activities after a test phase has been
completed
Reviewing documents (including source code) and conducting static analysis
1.2 What is Testing ?
25. Both dynamic testing and static testing can be used as a means for
achieving similar objectives, and will provide information that can be used
to improve both the system being tested and the development and
testing processes
Testing can have the following objectives:
Finding defects
Gaining confidence about the level of quality
Providing information for decision-making
Preventing defects
1.2 What is Testing ?
26. The thought process and activities involved in designing tests early in the
life cycle (verifying the test basis via test design) can help to prevent
defects from being introduced into code.
Reviews of documents (e.g., requirements) and the identification and
resolution of issues also help to prevent defects appearing in the code.
1.2 What is Testing ?
27. Different viewpoints in testing take different objectives into account
In development testing (e.g., componenet, integration, and system
testing), the main objective may be to cause as many failures as possible
so the defects in the software are identified and can be fixed.
In acceptance testing, the main objective may be to confirm that the
system works as expected, to gain confidence that it has met the
requirements.
1.2 What is Testing ?
28. In some cases the main objective of testing may be to assess the quality
of the software (with no intention of fixing defects), to give information to
stakeholders of the risk of releasing the system at a given time.
Maintenance testing includes testing that no new defects have been
introduced during development of the changes.
During operational testing, the main objective may be to assess system
characteristics such as reliability or availability
1.2 What is Testing ?
29. Debugging and Testing are different:
Dynamic testing can show failures that are caused by defects
Debugging is the development activity that finds, analyzes and removes the cause
of the failure.
Subsequent re-testing by a tester ensures that the fix does indeed resolve the
failure.
The responsibility for these activities is usually testers test and developers debug.
1.2 What is Testing ?
30. Sample Questions
Software testing activities should start:
a) When the requirements have been formally documented
b) As soon as possible in the development life cycle
c) During the design stage
d) During the stakeholder meeting

automate their bill paying process. They now plan to run an acceptance
test against the package prior to putting it into production. Which of the
following is their most likely reason for testing?
a) To train the users
b) To gather evidence for a lawsuit
c) To detect bugs in the application
d) To build confidence in the application

result of a fix
b) Testing/checking whether the software performs correctly
c) Identifying the cause of a defect, repairing the code and checking
the fix is correct
d) Checking that a previously reported defect has been corrected

a) When there is enough information for sponsors to make an
informed decision about release
b) When time and budget are exhausted
c) When there are no remaining high priority defects outstanding
d) When every data combination has been exercised successfully
1.2 What is Testing ?
39. Sample Questions
When is testing complete ?

informed decision about release
b) When time and budget are exhausted
c) When there are no remaining high priority defects outstanding
d) When every data combination has been exercised successfully
1.2 What is Testing ?
40. A number of testing principles have been suggested over the past 40
years and offer general guidelines common for all testing
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
41. Principle 1 – Testing shows presence of defects
Testing can show that defects are present, but cannot prove that there are no
defects. Testing reduces the probability of undiscovered defects remaining in the
software but, even if no defects are found, it is not a proof of correctness.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
42. Principle 2 – Exhaustive testing is impossible
Testing everything (all combinations of inputs and preconditions) is not feasible
except for trivial cases. Instead of exhaustive testing, risk analysis and priorities
should be used to focus testing efforts.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
43. Principle 3 – Early testing
To find defects early, testing activities shall be started as early as possible in the
software or system development life cycle, and shall be focused on defined
objectives.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
44. Principle 4 – Defect clustering
Testing effort shall be focused proportionally to the expected and later observed
defect density of modules. A small number of modules usually contains most of the
defects discovered during prerelease testing, or is responsible for most of the
opeartional failures.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
45. Principle 5 – Pesticide paradox
If the same tests are repeated over and over again, eventually the same set of test
cases will no longer find any new defects. To overcome this “pesticide paradox”,
test cases need to be regularly reviewed and revised, and new and different tests
need to be written to exercise different parts of the software or system to find
potentially more defects.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
46. Principle 6 – Testing is context depenent
Testing is done differently in different contexts. For example, safety-critical software
is tested differently from an e-commerce site.
1.3 Seven Testing Principles
47. Principle 7 – Absence-of-error fallacy
Finding and fixing defects does not help if the system built is unusable and does
not fulfill the users’ needs and expectations.

A test team consistently finds between 90% and 95% of the defect present in the
system under test. While the test manager understands that this is a good defect
detection percentage for her test team and industry, senior management and
executives remain disappointed in the test group saying that the test team misses too
many bugs. Given that the users are generally happy with the system and that the
failures which have occured have generally been low impact, which of the following
testing principles is most likely to help the test manager explain to these managers
and executives why some defects are likely to be missed

1.3 Seven Testing Principles
52. The most visible part of testing is test execution. But to be
effective and efficient, test plans should also include time to
be spent on planning the tests, designing test cases,
preparing for execution and evaluating results.
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
53. The fundamental test process consists of the following main
activities:
Test planning and control
Test analysis and design
Test implementation and execution
Evaluating exit criteria and reporting
Test closure activities
Although logically sequential, the activities in the process may overlap
or take place concurrently. Tailoring these main activities within the
context
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
54. Test planning is the activity of defining the objectives of testing
and the specification of test activities in order to meet the
objectives and mission.
Test control is the ongoing activity of comparing actual progress
against the plan, and reporting the status, including deviations
from the plan. It involves taking actions necessary to meet the
mission and objectives of the project. In order to control testing,
the testing activities should be monitored throughout the project.
Test planning takes into account the feedback from monitoring
and control activities
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.1 Test Planning and Control
55. Test analysis and design is the activity during which general
testing objectives are transformed into tangible test conditions
and test cases.
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.2 Test Analysis and Design
56. Test analysis and design activity has the following major tasks:
Reviewing the test basis (such as requirements, software integrity
level (risk level), risk analysis reports, architecture, design, interface
specifications)
Evaluating testability of the test basis and test objects
Identifying and prioritizing test conditions based on analysis of test
items, the specification, behavior and structure of the software
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.2 Test Analysis and Design
57. Test analysis and design activity has the following major tasks:
Designing and prioritizing high level test cases
Identifying necessary test data to support the test conditions and
test cases
Designing the test environment setup and identifying any required
infrastructure and tools
Creating bi-directional traceability between test basis and test cases
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.2 Test Analysis and Design
58. The degree to which software complies or must comply with a set
of stakeholder-selected software and/or software-based system
characteristics (e.g., Software complexity, risk assessment, safety
level, security level, desired performance, reliability, or cost) which
are defined to reflect the importance of the software to its
stakeholders.
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
Software integrity level
59. Test Implemetation and execution is the activity where test
procedures or scripts are specified by combining the test cases in
a particular order and including any other information needed for
test execution, the environment is set up and the tests are run.
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.3 Test Implementation and Execution
60. Test Implemetation and execution has the following major tasks:
Finalizing, implementing and prioritizing test cases (including the
identification of test data)
Developing and prioritizing test procedures, creating test data and,
optionally, preparing test harnesses and writing automated test scripts
Creating test suites from the test procedures for efficient test execution
Verifying that the test environment has been set up correctly
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.3 Test Implementation and Execution
61. Test Implemetation and execution has the following major tasks:
Verifying and updating bi-directional traceability between the test basis
and test cases
Executing test procedures either manually or by using test execution
tools, according to the planned sequence
Logging the outcome of test execution and recording the identities and
versions of the software under test, test tools and testware
Comparing actual results with expected results
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.3 Test Implementation and Execution
62. Test Implemetation and execution has the following major tasks:
Reporting descrepancies as incidents and analyzing them in order to establish
their cause (e.g., a defect in the code, in specified test data, in the test
document, or a mistake in the way the test was executed)
Repeating test activities as a result of action taken for each discrepancy, for
example, re-execution of a test that previously failed in order to confirm a fix
(confirmation testing), execution of a corrected test and/or execution of tests in
order to ensure that defects have not been introduced in unchanged areas of
the software or that defect fixing did not uncover other defects (regression
testing)
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.3 Test Implementation and Execution
63. Evaluating exit criteria is the activity where test execution is
assessed against the defined objectives. This should be done for
each test level.
Evaluating exit criteria has the following major tasks:
Checking test logs against the exit criteria specified in test planning
Assessing if more tests are needed if the exit criteria specified should be
changed
Writing a test summary report for stakeholders
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.4 Evaluating Exit Criteria and Reporting
64. Test closure activities collect data from completed test activities to
consolidate experience, testware, facts and numbers.
Test closure activities occur at project milestones such as when a
software system is released, a test project is completed (or
cancelled), a milestone has been achieved, or a maintenance
release has been completed.
1.4 Fundamental Test Process
1.4.5 Test Closure Activities
65. Test closure activities include the major following tasks:
Checking which planned deliverables have been delivered
Closing incident reports or raising change records for any that remain open
Documenting the acceptance of the system
1.4 Fundamental Test Process

1.4 Fundamental Test Process
75. The mindset to be used while testing and reviewing is different from
that used while developing software. With the right mindset
developers are able to test their own code, but seperation of this
responsibility to a tester is typically done to help focus effort and
provide additional benefits, such as an independent view by trained
and professional testing resources. Independent testing may be carried
out at any level of testing.
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
76. A certain degree of independence (avoiding the author bias) often
makes the tester more effective at finding defects and failures.
Independence is not, however, a replacement for familiarity, and
developers can efficiently find many defects in their own code.
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
77. Several levels of independence can be defined as shown here from high to
low:
Tests designed by the person(s) who wrote the software under test(Low level of
independence)
Tests designed by another person(s) (e.g., from the development team)
Tests designed by a person(s) from a different organizational group (e.g., an
independent test team) or test specialists (e.g., usabilitiy or performance test
specialists)
Tests designed by a person(s) from a different organization or company (i.e.,
outsourcing or certification by an external body)
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
78. People and projects are driven by objectives. People tend to allign
their plans with the objectives set by management and other
stakeholders, for example, to find defects or to confirm that software
meets its objectives. Therefore, it is important to clearly state the
objectives of testing.
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
79. Identifying failures during testing may be perceived as criticism against
the product and against the author. As a result, testing is often seen as
a destructive activity, even though it is very constructive in the
management of product risks.
Looking for failures in a system requires curiosity, professional
pessimism, a critical eye, attention to detail, good communication with
development peers, and experience on which to base error guessing.
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
80. If errors, defects or failures are communicated in a constructive way,
bad feelings between the testers and the analysts, designers and
developers can be avoided. This applies to defects found during
reviews as well as in testing.
The tester and test leader need good interpersonal skills to
communicate factual information about defects, progress and risks in a
constructive way.
For the author of the software or document, defect information can
help them improve their skills. Defects found and fixed during testing
will save time and money later, and reduce risks.
1.5 The Psychology of Testing
81. Communication problems may occur, particularly if testers are seen
only as messengers of unwanted news about defects. However, there
are several ways to improve communication and relationships between
testers and others:
Start with collaboration rather than battles – remind everyone of the common goal of
better quality systems
Communicate findings on the product in a neutral, fact-focused way without criticizing
the person who created it, write objective and factual incident reports and review
findings
Try to understand how the other person feels and why they react as they do
Confirm that the other person has understood what you have said and vice versa
1.5 The Psychology of Testing

1.5 The Psychology of Testing
86. Involvement in software testing enables individuals to learn
confidential and privileged information. A code of ethics is necessary,
among other reasons to ensure that the information is not put to
inappropriate use.
1.6 Code of Ethics
87. Recognizing the ACM and IEEE code of ethics for engineers, The ISTQB
states the following code of ethics:
PUBLIC – Certified software testers shall act consistently with the public interest
CLIENT AND EMPLOYER – Certified software testers shall act in a manner that is in the
best interests of their client and employer, consistent with the public interest
PRODUCT – Certified software testers shall ensure that the deliverables they provide
(on the products and systems they test) meet the highest professional standards
possible
JUDGMENT – Certified software testers shall maintain integrity and independence in
their professional judgment
