The document provides an overview of software testing and quality assurance concepts. It defines key terms like software, software testing, quality assurance, and validation and verification. It describes the objectives and types of testing like static and dynamic analysis. It also discusses quality factors, metrics, statistical quality control methods like control charts, and total quality management approaches.
What is Functional Testing?
Functional testing is a type of software testing that examines the software’s functionality by testing its individual components and features against predetermined specifications. The objective is to ensure that the software behaves as expected and performs its intended functions accurately. This process involves inputting various test cases, analyzing the output, and comparing it with expected results. Functional testing aims to identify defects, discrepancies, and inconsistencies in the software’s behavior, ensuring a seamless user experience.
How and When to Start Functional Testing?
The functional testing process typically follows these stages:
Requirement Analysis: Understanding the software’s specifications, features, and user requirements is essential. This lays the foundation for creating effective test cases.
Test Case Design: Develop comprehensive test cases that cover various scenarios and functionalities. Test cases can be designed based on functional specifications, user stories, and use cases.
Test Execution: Execute the prepared test cases on the software. This involves providing inputs and analyzing outputs to verify whether the software behaves as expected.
Defect Reporting: Any deviations or discrepancies identified during test execution are documented as defects. These issues are reported to the development team for resolution.
Regression Testing: As new features are added or changes are made, it’s crucial to ensure that existing functionalities remain unaffected. Regression testing helps verify this by retesting previously tested features.
Test Closure: Once all test cases are executed and defects are resolved, the testing phase is concluded. A comprehensive test report is generated to summarize the testing process and outcomes.
When to Start Functional Testing?
Functional testing can be initiated at various stages of the software development lifecycle:
Unit Testing: This is the earliest phase where individual components or units of the software are tested in isolation. It ensures that each part of the software works correctly before integration.
Integration Testing: After unit testing, the components are combined and tested as a group to ensure their collaboration and interaction are seamless.
System Testing: In this phase, the entire software application is tested as a whole to ensure all components work together cohesively to meet the requirements.
Acceptance Testing: Once the system testing is successful, acceptance testing is conducted to determine if the software meets the user’s requirements and is ready for deployment.
Best Functional Testing Tools
Selenium: A widely used open-source tool for automating web applications. It supports various programming languages and browsers, making it versatile for testing web applications.
JUnit and TestNG: These are popular testing frameworks for Java applications, providing a structured approach to writing and executing tests.

The key methodologies covered are functionality testing, which validates outputs against expected outputs; performance testing, which evaluates a system under pressure; and usability testing, which tests the user-friendliness of an application.
Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its components to identify errors or gaps between expected and actual results. It can be done manually or through automation. There are different types of testing like unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing. Testing also includes functional testing to check system requirements and non-functional testing to evaluate performance. Key aspects of testing include the software development life cycle (SDLC) and different models like waterfall, prototyping, incremental, spiral, and agile.
Software Testing Interview Questions For Experiencedzynofustechnology
The document discusses various topics related to software testing interviews for experienced testers. It covers reliability testing, handling bugs, challenges of thorough testing, testing without complete requirements, differences between retesting and regression testing, challenges of software testing, types of functional testing, and more. Key points made include that it is impossible to thoroughly test a program due to subjective requirements and too many inputs/paths, the importance of regression testing when modules are updated, and differences between bugs, defects, and errors.
Testing is a process that occurs throughout the software development lifecycle to evaluate products and determine that requirements are met. It includes both static testing such as document review and dynamic testing by executing code. The goals of testing are to determine if products satisfy requirements, demonstrate they are fit for purpose, and detect defects. Both static and dynamic testing methods are used to thoroughly test products, requirements, designs, code and related documents. Finding defects through testing improves product quality and provides feedback to strengthen development processes.
The Software testing is the medium by which application brilliance is enhanced. Software testing is used to do in each segment of the product life cycle i.e. from obligation specifications, design, coding, to the user acceptance.

User experience, usability, functionality and performance are the key parameters that are thoroughly checked in UAT. In this article, you will get to know about the differences between functional testing and UAT.
Selenium - A Trending Automation Testing Toolijtsrd
Selenium is an important testing tool for software quality assurance. In recent days number of websites are increasing rapidly and it becomes essential to test the websites against various quality factors to make sure it meets the expected quality goals. Several companies are spending a lot of bucks for the testing tool while Selenium is available completely free for the performance test. The open source tool is well known for its unlimited capabilities and unlimited reach. Selenium stands out from the crowd in this aspect. Anyone could visit the Selenium website and download the latest version and use it. It is not only an open source but also highly modifiable. Testers could make changes based upon their needs and requirements.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
The technology uses reclaimed CO₂ as the dyeing medium in a closed loop process. When pressurized, CO₂ becomes supercritical (SC-CO₂). In this state CO₂ has a very high solvent power, allowing the dye to dissolve easily.

The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.
Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

What are the challenges, an organization may face to use these testing tools to test the software.
To describe the taxonomy of these tool.
To find out defects that the software may encounter.
To prevent these defects.
To ensure that it meets the quality requirements.
To ensure that it work properly.
III. LIMITATIONS
The scope of this research is to represent the taxonomy of different testing tools and then performing a
comparative study of these tools. But this research is limited to some extent. During this research interviews will not
conducted. To verify the performance of tools, test will not be conducted. Our field is restricted to software testing only.
Full details of the testing tool is not described, but is some extent that someone understand the basic functionality of tool
easily. Results are generated from the data received from different companies. Furthermore experiments results are not
doing in this research.
IV. THEORETICAL BACKGROUND
This section will describe the basic and most commonly used terminology that are essential for any software
testing that how will they work, their functionality, their role and their importance in software testing such that reader
could easily understand them. The terms that are needed to discuss here before making the taxonomy and performing the
comparison of these testing tools includes Black box testing, White box testing, Gray box testing, Automated and
Manual testing, Commercial, Open source and Commercial trial.
Black box testing is the testing that has no concern with the internal details or structure of a software product.
The testing strategies not found all the errors occurred in software efficiently so this testing is used to resolve this
problem. This testing is concern with the functionality of the software product that it’s working properly or not. White
box testing is the testing strategy used to test the software and is concern with the internal structure or details of the
software product. This testing is also called “Glass Box Testing” [1]. This testing ensures that the expected results meet
with the actual results. Here the person who performing the test takes the test input from the program logic. By this
testing, one can find out the hidden errors that are encounter by the software. Gray box testing is the testing strategy that
consists of the combination of both white and black box testing. Here white box testing refers to the internal structure
and black box refers not with the internal structure of the application. It is sometime useful when little bit internal
information is available but not in detail.
Figure 1: Taxonomy of Software Testing
.
Software testing can be divided into automated and manual testing. These testing are used to find out the
defects of the software. Automated testing means to test the software product using the automation. This testing is
consider to be the vital part of testing software because of its benefits like execution speed of test cases, efficiency,
reliability etc. More over this testing is time saving and not expensive because of the repeated test cases during
development of software. In manual testing, human interaction is required to test the software. This testing is time
3. K. Shaukat et al. / International Journal of Computer Science and Innovation
9
consuming and much effort and expenses are required to test the test cases again and again during development cycle of
software. There are open and commercial testing tool available that we are discussed in our research. Open source tools
are those that are freely available and are easily downloadable and install on the PC to do the test of web and desktop
applications for example selenium. While Commercial source tools are those that are not available freely and require
payments in order to use them for example Quick Test Professional. There are some other tools available that are
commercial trial which mean that they are available freely to use during the trial and after completion of these tool trial,
money is required to use it.
V. EVOLUTION OF AUTOMATION TESTING TOOL
Mohd Ehmer Khan described the different strategies for software testing tools that can be used to efficiently
test the software like correctness, performance, Reliability and security testing which are classified by purpose and are
classified into [4]. Manjit Kaur performed the comparison on automated tools such as QTP and TC. QT Pro and
Automated QA Test Complete has been compared based on features including generating scripts, playing-back them,
speed and cost [8]. Test Complete is easy to use and has a good impact for those applications that requires less security
and similarly QTP has good impact for those applications where security is of more concern.
Sanjeev Dhawan performed automated testing of web based applications through QTP and FSM Professional.
Model based testing refers generating test cases automatically. It is based on test generations, test strategies and
techniques. Hewlett Packard QT Pro performs functional and regression testing. Another model based FSM technique
with nodes describing System under Test (SUT) state and arc describing SUT actions. It allows the generation of
adequate test cases.
Sanjay Tyagi performed a comparison study on the performance of various testing tools such as NeoLoad [9],
WAPT [10] and Loadster [11] and their performance results are evaluated in different browsers. Basically
performance testing [12] is a non- functional type of testing to ensure speed, reliability, stability, and
scalability of system. The same website has been used to check the performance under these performance tools and
their results has been compared to select the best tool among them.
Harpreet Kaur described the comparative study of automated testing tools like Selenium, QTP and TC and their
performed is determine based on Efficiency, Licensing Costs, Application Support, Usage, etc. TC and Selenium has
been compared with QTP [7][13] and their shortcoming are discussed in [6]. Among all QTP is the best tool among
all.
VI. TAXONOMY
Taxonomy of different testing tools described in Figure 2. It has functional, management and loading testing
tools. Some of the testing tools are open source available freely to use and some are commercially available that are not
freely to use and money is required to use them. The basic description of functional, loading and management testing is
below:
A. Functional Testing
It verifies that the application under test works expected or not. This testing can be used to record and modify the
scripts. It consists of quality assurance (QA) process [51] and is black box testing. It is different from system testing.
This testing verifies a program while system testing validates a program.
B. Management Testing
This testing is used to save the information about how the testing is done. This testing is also used in performing
different activities like plan and quality assurance activities. Test management [41] tool offer the capability for data
analysis and provide a communication among different project team members.
C. Loading Testing
Load testing is also called “Volume Testing” [1]. This testing is used to ensure that how much load on an application
or a system can bear with predefined circumstances. It based on that the response of system is checked. This testing
4. K. Shaukat et al. / International Journal of Computer Science and Innovation
10
simply refers to the maximum load a system can have. By using this testing, basically behavior of a system is
determined. If a load on a system increases its certain level then it is called stress testing.
