Error guessing is an ad hoc approach, based on intuition and experience, to identify tests that are considered likely to expose errors. The basic idea is to make a list of possible errors or error-prone situations and then develop tests based on the list. What are the most common error-prone situations we have seen before? Defects’ histories are useful. There is a high probability that defects that have been there in the past are the kind that are going to be there in the future. Some items to try are: · empty or null lists/strings · zero instances/occurrences · blanks or null characters in strings · negative numbers One of the studies done by Myers (1979) states that the probability of errors remaining in the program is proportional to the number of errors that have been found so far. This alone provides a rich source of focus for productive error guessing.
We will first focus on what exactly cookies are and how they work. It would be easy for you to understand the test cases for testing cookies when you have clear understanding of how cookies work? How cookies stored on hard drive? And how can we edit cookie settings? Explain Cookies? Cookie is small information stored in text file on user’s hard drive by web server. This information is later used by web browser to retrieve information from that machine. Generally cookie contains personalized user data or information that is used to communicate between different web pages. Why Cookies are used? Cookies are nothing but the user’s identity and used to track where the user navigated throughout the web site pages. The communication between web browser and web server is stateless. For example if you are accessing domain http://www.example.com/1.html then web browser will simply query to example.com web server for the page 1.html. Next time if you type page as http://www.example.com/2.html the...
