Globalization, Internationalization and Localization in Software

What is Globalization, Internationalization and Localization in Software Testing? In Today’s competitive world many of the clients are targeting the global audience, which means going beyond borders and working with clients to make sure application has proper global sets in terms of functional, readable, and viewable in multiple platforms and cross-browsers. Along with that there are many languages in the world, so in this situation do we need to create a separate application or website for each languages & countries? The answer is NO. This...

Traceability Matrix or Requirement Traceability Matrix

What is Traceability Matrix(RTM) ?? Traceability Matrix (also known as Requirement Traceability Matrix - RTM) is a table which is used to trace the requirements during the Software development life Cycle. It can be used for forward tracing (i.e. from Requirements to Design or Coding) or backward (i.e. from Coding to Requirements). There are many user defined templates for RTM. Each requirement in the RTM document is linked with its associated test...

Levels Of Testing

Levels Of TestingLevels of testing include the different methodologies that can be used while conducting Software Testing. Following are the main levels of Software Testing: Functional Testing. Non- functional Testing. 1.Functional Testing.This is a type of black box testing that is based on the specifications of the software that is to be tested. The application is tested by providing input and then the results are examined that need to conform...

Non-Functional Testing

Non-Functional Testing This section is based upon the testing of the application from its non-functional attributes. Non-functional testing of Software involves testing the Software from the requirements which are non functional in nature related but important a well such as performance, security, user interface etc. Some of the important and commonly used non-functional testing types are mentioned as follows: Performance Testing It is mostly used to identify any bottlenecks or performance issues rather than finding the bugs in software....

GREY BOX TESTING

Grey Box testing Grey Box testing is a technique to test the application with limited knowledge of the internal workings of an application. In software testing, the term “the more you know the better” carries a lot of weight when testing an application.Mastering the domain of a system always gives the tester an edge over someone with limited domain knowledge. Unlike black box testing, where the tester only tests the application’s user interface, in grey box testing, the tester has access to design documents and the database. Having this knowledge,...

Differences Between terms in Software Testing

Differences Between Audit and Inspection Audit: A systematic process to determine how the actual testing process is conducted within an organization or a team. Generally, it is an independent examination of processes which are involved during the testing of software. As per IEEE, it is a review of documented processes whether organizations implements and follows the processes or not. Types of Audit include the Legal Compliance Audit, Internal Audit,...

User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

What is User Acceptance Testing? ----------------------------------- User Acceptance Testing (UAT) - also called beta testing, application testing, and/or end user testing - is a phase of software development in which the software is tested in the "real world" by the intended audience or a business representative. Whilst the technical testing of IT systems is a highly professional and exhaustive process, testing of business functionality is an entirely different proposition. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is one sure way to reduce or eliminate...

DEFECT TRACKING

DEFECT TRACKING Defect : If a feature is not working according to the requirement, it is called a defect. Deviation from requirement specification is called as defect. Developer develops the product – test engineer starts testing the product – he finds a defect – now the TE must send the defect to the development team. He prepares a defect report – and sends a mail to the Development lead saying “bug open. Development lead looks...

SOFTWARE TEST LIFE CYCLE (STLC)

SOFTWARE TEST LIFE CYCLE (STLC) Testing itself has many phases i.e is called as STLC. STLC is part of SDLC Defect Life Cycle is a part of STLC Requirement is the input for testing. Test Plan – is a document which derives all future activities of the project. All future testing activities is planned and put into a document and this document is known as Test Plan. It contains – number of engineers needed for the project, who should...
