What is Load and Performance testing

Load Testing and Performance Testing are commonly said as positive testing where as Stress Testing is said to be as negative testing. Say for example there is a application which can handle 25 simultaneous user logins at a time. In load testing we will test the application for 25 users and check how application is working in this stage, in performance testing we will concentrate on the time taken to perform the operation. Where as in stress testing we will test with more users than 25 and the test will continue to any number and we will check where the application is cracking the Hardware resources.

Manual testing - Brief Summary

Manual testing is a type of software testing in which testers execute test cases without the use of automation tools or scripts. Instead, testers follow a series of predefined steps to verify that a software application or system functions correctly and meets its requirements. Manual testing is an essential part of the software testing process and is typically performed alongside automated testing, where applicable. Here are some key aspects of manual testing: Test Case Design : Testers create test cases based on the software's requirements, specifications, and design documents. These test cases outline the steps to be followed, the expected results, and any necessary preconditions. Test Execution: Testers manually execute the test cases by interacting with the software just like a user would. They input data, navigate through the user interface, and observe the system's behavior. Exploratory Testing: In addition to predefined test cases, manual testers often perform ex...

What is Installation testing?

Installation testing is done to verify whether the hardware and software are installed and configured properly. This will ensure that all the system components were used during the testing process. This Installation testing will look out the testing for a high volume data, error messages as well as security testing

Software testing guide - Testing tutorial

Introduction There are many potential pitfalls to manual software testing, including: 1. Manual testing is slow and costly. 2. Manual tests do not scale well. 3. Manual testing is not consistent or repeatable. 4. Lack of training. 5. Testing is difficult to manage. This article will cover five "best practices" recommendations to help avoid the pitfalls associated with manual software testing. Be Thorough in Test Design and Documentation In designing the tests, there should be agreement among the business staff, product and project managers, developers, and testers on test coverage. This can be documented as test requirements in a test plan. With this documentation, management can have visibility of the test coverage and know that the right areas are being tested. This then becomes an important management tool in managing testing. The goal is to find the easiest way to document as many test cases as possible without having the test effort turn int...
