    Study Notes

    Software Testing - Quality Assurance

    • Software testing aims to ensure a product or service meets specified requirements, standards, and is of high quality
    • Quality assurance is a systematic process for validating quality

    Reviewed Components

    • Requirements
    • Design
    • Coding
    • Documentation

    Agile vs. Traditional Projects

    • Traditional: Driven by deadlines, deliverables planned with dates assigned, often using Gantt charts. Rigid structure making change difficult and complex deliverables hard to break down in smaller steps
    • Agile: More flexible; breaks projects into themes/initiatives, epics, tasks, and issues. Allows for easier adjustments and works well for complicated deliverables

    Agile Projects

    • More flexible than traditional approaches
    • Organizes projects into themes, epics, tasks, or issues

    Themes, Epics, Issues, User Stories

    • Themes: Broad areas focusing on organizational goals
    • Epics: Large bodies of work within a theme, with a measured level between theme focus and individual users
    • Issues: Specific tasks needed to achieve epic goals (a task, bug fix, or feature implementation). Ideally small enough to be done in a short sprint (a few days)
    • User Stories: Specific product functions creating value for clients, written from the user's perspective (e.g., "As a cyclist, I want to track my rides and get directions simultaneously.")

    User Stories (INVESTable)

    • Independent: Shouldn't depend on other stories to be completed
    • Negotiable: Open for discussion and changes with the customer before a sprint
    • Valuable: Provides significant value to the project
    • Estimable: Able to accurately estimate the completing time
    • Small: Size appropriate to be completed in a short time frame
    • Testable: Contain clear acceptance criteria for testing

    Kanban Boards

    • Used for visualizing and managing work flow through different stages (To Do, In Progress, Testing, Done)

    Software Test Plan

    • Detailed document outlining testing scope, approach, resources, and schedule
    • Helps determine the effort needed to validate application quality
    • Serves as a blueprint for the testing process.

    Software Test Plan Include

    • Testing process description
    • Testing objectives with the proof being presented
    • Testing scope detailing what parts of the software will be examined
    • Testing schedule including order of tests, timeline, completion criteria
    • A listing of foreseeable project risks and planned mitigations
    • List of hardware and software required for testing
    • List of roles and skills for the testing team

    Test Strategy

    • Short document often created before a test plan and provides a high-level view.
    • Determines test objectives, aligning with organizational goals.
    • Includes a description of what makes the project unique.
    • Defines the acceptance criteria, outlining testing deliverables.
    • Outlines testing types to be considered (functional, security, usability).

    Test Plan Layout

    • Introduction: Lists testing objectives, scope, and overview.
    • Approach: Defines testing assumptions/constraints, software coverage process, and details validations.
    • Test Tools: Provides a list of tools required.
    • Test Type: Lists different testing approaches.
    • Test Plan: Outlines test team members and responsibilities; scheduling; hardware/software; special training; features/functionality to be tested & excluded

    Jira

    • Software application for tracking issues, managing projects, and automating workflows.
    • Tracks issues like features to build, design documents, software tests needing written or execution.
    • Provides capabilities for adding users; creating/organizing issues; assigning tasks; and updating progress

    Jira Capabilities

    • Allows adding users
    • Enables creating issues and placing them in Kanban columns
    • Allows assigning issues to specific team members
    • Provides issue-tracking movement through the Kanban columns
    • Notifies team members of issue updates

    Jira Interface

    • Tool for managing issues via its interactive interface with visible columns, project scheduling, and user dashboards.
