    Study Notes

    Valid Test Objectives

    • A valid test objective aims to reduce risk and build confidence in quality.
    • A valid test objective does not aim to prove the absence of all defects or guarantee no future failures.
    • A valid test objective focuses on verifying that all necessary input combinations have been tested.
    • A valid test objective is to reduce the risk level of the test object and to build confidence in the quality level.
    • A valid test objective is not to prove that there are no unfixed defects in the system under test, or prove that there will be no failures after implementation.

    Successful Test Activities

    • Involving testers throughout the SDLC helps detect defects.
    • Testers collaborating with end-users improves defect reporting.
    • Tester collaboration with end-users improves reporting quality during component integration and system testing.
    • Having testers involved during various software development lifecycle (SDLC) activities will help to detect defects in work products.

    Testing Principle - Regression Testing Skepticism

    • The absence of errors in prior iterations does not predict the absence of errors in future iterations; regression testing is crucial.
    • Regression testing is crucial to ensure that changes in code do not introduce new defects in existing functionalities.
    • The testing principle that explains skepticism about no regression defects found in several iterations is the absence-of-errors fallacy.

    Test Analysis Example: Food Ordering App

    • Test analysis involves understanding the requirements to determine testing scope.
    • Boundary value analysis (BVA) assists in deriving test data, for example by checking correct payment processing.
    • Analysis of test results and reporting defects is a key aspect of test analysis identifying discrepancies between expected and actual outcomes.
    • Test analysis is not equivalent to estimating test duration or deciding on testing strategies involving end-users.

    Factors Influencing Test Approach

    • SDLC model and previous project defect rates significantly influence the testing approach.
    • Identified product risks and new regulatory requirements impact the test design.
    • Test environment characteristics influence testing and tool selection.
    • The SDLC model, previous project defect rates, identified product risks, new regulatory requirements, and test environment setup significantly influence the test approach.

    Testing Role Tasks

    • Designing the test plan and analyzing the test basis are key testing role tasks.
    • Configuring test environments is also a supporting task.
    • Designing the test plan and analyzing the test basis are key testing tasks. Configuring test environments is also a task.

    Important Tester Skills

    • Domain knowledge, critical thinking, and team collaboration are crucial for successful testing.
    • Having domain knowledge, being a good team player, and critical thinking are important tester skills.

    Whole Team Approach in Iterative Development

    • Testers and business representatives collaborating helps define test strategy.
    • Testers assist in creating acceptance tests that meet business needs.
    • Testers support risk identification and assessment in iteration planning.

    SDLC Test Activities

    • The rule 'for every SDLC activity, there is a corresponding test activity' applies to sequential, incremental, and iterative SDLC models.

    Acceptance Test-Driven Development (ATDD)

    • Acceptance criteria in ATDD often use the given/when/then format to describe system behavior.
    • Tests are created based on acceptance criteria to drive development.
    • ATDD tests reflect the desired software behavior.
    • In ATDD, acceptance criteria are typically created based on the given/when/then format. Tests are created based on acceptance criteria to drive the development of the related software.

    Shift-Left Testing

    • A key shift-left activity is reviewing user requirements beforehand.
    • Testing at early stages, like writing component tests before corresponding code, is another shift-left method.
    • Component performance tests should happen early for efficiency.
    • Reviewing user requirements before formal acceptance by stakeholders and writing component tests before the corresponding code are part of the shift-left approach.

    Retrospective Meetings

    • Retrospectives aid continuous process improvement through analyzing weaknesses.
    • Retrospectives are beneficial for continuous process improvement, reviewing weaknesses, and analyzing areas needing improvement.

    Test Levels and Failures

    • Failures in business needs (e.g., incorrect implementation of business rules) are addressed during acceptance testing.
    • Failures in communication between modules are addressed through integration testing.
    • Issues in module logic are addressed through component testing.
    • Failures in system behavior as it deviates from the user's business needs are addressed during acceptance testing. Failures in communication between components are addressed through integration testing, and failures in module logic are addressed through component testing.

    Regression Tests

    • Regression testing often repeats earlier test cases for new versions or after bug fixes to ensure they don't reintroduce defects.

    Benefits of Static Testing

    • Static testing helps find defects early and inexpensively.
    • It identifies defects in requirements, coding, and design.
    • Static testing helps to find defects early and inexpensively and identifies flaws in requirements, coding, and design.

    Early and Frequent Feedback

    • Early and frequent feedback helps avoid requirements misunderstandings during the development process.
    • Early and frequent feedback helps mitigate misunderstandings.

    Review Types

    • A formal review process involves preparation, a scribe, a review report, and focus on quality assessment.
    • A technical review is a likely option based on given attributes.
    • Formal reviews involve multiple participants, activities, and distributed documentation beforehand.

    Successful Reviews

    • Adequate time dedication and splitting large work products improve reviews.
    • Avoiding unproductive behaviors and handling failures objectively are key to successful reviews.

    Experience-Based Testing

    • Experience-based techniques rely heavily on the tester's domain knowledge.

    Equivalence Partitioning (EP)

    • The minimum number of test cases to achieve 100% EP coverage for a form with two criteria with three options each is 6.

    Boundary Value Analysis (BVA)

    • A 2-value BVA coverage may vary depending on the context.

    Impossible Situations in Rules

    • Determine impossible situations by examining the logical conflicts or limitations within the defined rules

    Transition Coverage

    • The minimum number of test cases for valid transition coverage depends on the system's complexity and the number of states and transitions.

    Statement Coverage

    • 100% statement coverage means all statements in the code are executed during testing but does not guarantee 100% code path coverage.

    White-Box Testing

    • White-box testing looks at the internal code structure to validate implementation.
    • White-box testing aids in identifying implementation gaps not noticeable in black-box testing.

    Error Guessing

    • Using past defect knowledge to anticipate potential problems aids in identifying more difficult errors.

    Exploratory Testing

    • Skilled testers use exploratory testing in situations where requirements are incomplete or undefined, utilizing their domain expertise to drive meaningful testing.

    Acceptance Criteria Documentation

    • Acceptance criteria in ATDD often use the given/when/then format.
    • This format helps clearly describe the test conditions related to a user story.

    ATDD Test Example

    • Testing the specific action within the user story—such as the editor saving the document—is a good example of an ATDD test.

    Tester Value in Iteration Planning

    • Testers support risk identification and assessment in iteration planning.

    System Testing Exit Criteria

    • Test environment readiness and successful automated regression tests are crucial exit criteria for system testing.

    • An incorrectly coded upper bound is a defect in the code.

    Testware Output

    • Test planning documents, output and specifications produced during test analysis and test design.

    Traceability in Testing

    • Tracing shows the relationship between test basis and test cases, helping to select necessary test data to improve test coverage.

    Independence of Testing

    • Testing should be performed by a team independent of the developers to reduce bias and ensure objectivity.

    V-Model Testing Activities

    • Static testing and test planning can be performed in the early phases of a V-model SDLC.

    DevOps Advantages

    • DevOps fosters faster product releases, but does not necessarily reduce the need for testing.
    • DevOps aims for continuous availability through automation, not necessarily reduced manual testing.

    Test Type: Food Ordering App

    • Testing the order processing time involves non-functional testing (performance testing) to measure system speed.

    Test Type in System Retirement

    • Data migration testing is typically done during maintenance testing, ensuring data transfers correctly during system retirement.

    Reviewable Work Products

    • Business requirements, user stories, and acceptance criteria can be reviewed during the SDLC.

    Static Testing Characteristics

    • Static testing identifies coding standard discrepancies and requirements flaws before runtime testing, supporting early defect detection.

    Boundary Value Analysis (BVA) - Wine Storage

    • Verifying the temperature ranges in a wine storage device involves boundary value analysis with values at boundaries and just beyond.

    • Requirement for 100% branch coverage for critical components belongs to the test approach section of the test plan.

    Decision-Making in Test Effort Estimation

    • Reaching consensus on an estimate is important instead of directly accepting an estimate with most votes.

    Test Pyramid

    • The test pyramid emphasizes more low-level unit tests that are more frequent.

    Quantitative Risk Analysis

    • Risk impact and likelihood are independent, but high impact can suggest a higher probability of failure.

    Project Risks

    • Project risks include factors like management changes that disrupt the project (e.g., experienced tester reassignment) and stakeholder expectations.

    Risk Analysis impact on Testing

    • Risk assessment and associated analysis lead to identifying specific risks, and planning to mitigate the risks through testing design.

    Quality Level Reporting Metrics

    • Reporting the number of defects, defect density, and the time taken to fix defects provides key metrics to assess quality.

    Least Important Test Progress Report Aspect for Business

    • Reporting on impediments and other practical issues to testing is the least beneficial during a test progress report, as it is not a feature related to the performance measure of the system.

    Specific Test Activity: Data Preparation Tool

    • Data preparation tools are involved in test design and test implementation, but not test monitoring or control.

    System Failure Analysis Task

    • Analyzing and fixing system failures is a debugging activity.
