    Importance of Software Testing

    Validates software requirements, finds defects, enhances user satisfaction, and maintains product quality.

    Waterfall Model

    A linear SDLC model where testing occurs after implementation, making it less flexible.

    Agile Model

    An iterative approach to SDLC where testing takes place at the end of each sprint.

    Manual Testing

    Software testing performed by human testers without automated tools.

    Study Notes

    Software Lifecycle - Chapter 1, Section 2: Software Testing

    • Objectives:
      • Assess the importance of software testing
      • Create a test plan

    Key Vocabulary

    • Test Plan: A technical document outlining the approach to test a product.

    Importance of Software Testing

    • Confirms that software requirements are applied correctly
    • Finds defects, ensuring fixes before production release
    • Improves the user experience and ensures customer satisfaction
    • Helps in product security
    • Ensures product quality

    Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) Models

    • Waterfall Model: Testing phase begins after implementation. A mistake in design requires redesigning the entire software.
    • Agile Model: Testing happens at the end of each iteration/sprint, final software tested at the end

    What are You Testing?

    • Verify the requirement
    • Review and improve the design
    • Check the code

    Types of Testing

    • Manual Testing: Tested by humans, less reliable, more time-consuming (e.g., testing scenarios).
    • Automation Testing: More reliable and accurate, done by scripts and tools, faster, requires initial investment in testing tools.

    Methods of Testing

    • Black-Box Testing: Tester has no knowledge of internal workings of the software, least time-consuming, data-driven
    • Gray-Box Testing: Limited knowledge, partly time-consuming
    • White-Box Testing: Full knowledge, most time-consuming, code-based, like Path testing, condition testing, and loop testing

    Levels of Testing

    • Functional Testing: Tests the system by providing input and comparing output results to assure intended behavior. (Unit, Integration, System, Regression, User Acceptance Testing)
    • Non-Functional Testing: Tests non-functional aspects like security, performance, user interface.

    User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

    • Alpha Testing: Small set of employees tests the software.
    • Beta Testing: Small set of customers test the software, providing recommendations.

    Testing Documentation

    • Importance: Essential for effort estimations, requirement tracking, and test coverage.
      • Test Plan, Test Scenario, Test Case

    Test Plan

    • Definition: A technical document outlining the testing approach for a product
    • Includes: Analyze product, Design test strategy, Define test objectives, Plan test environment, Resource planning, Define test criteria, Schedule/estimation, and Determine test deliverables

    Activity 1.2.3

    • Read pages 34-37, answer questions about the client's needs, expectations, project objectives and ways to achieve, test standards, and main objectives of tests. Also include resource planning, plan test environment, schedule and estimation, and determine test deliverables.

    Activity 1.2.6

    • This refers to a TinkerCad circuit, requiring completing a table with test cases for the given logic circuit scenario.

    Plenary - Activity 1.2.4

    • Multiple-choice questions on non-functional testing, test planning, and integration testing. Includes definitions of testing strategy, test environment, test completion criteria, types of testing such as alpha, beta, and black box testing.
