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.
