QTP Testing – Where should you go when you need this urgently ?

First of all let us analyze what would happen if your software application is not regression tested when you fixed a minor change… Things can be smooth and run in your live production server and things can go wrong…Disastrously wrong because of one wrong fix at the wrong place which can mean total outage of your system from the live interconnected web world. But the costs of regression testing manually do not seem to justify itself. Hence it’s a catch 22 problem – You want to take up insurance but you don’t want to actually fall sick. So in this case, you would want to still do all the detailed regression testing for your application but you would like to reduce the costs to a minimum. The answer is QTP (Quick test pro). Quick test pro automated testing provides you with that flexibility of reduced costs and agility in your application. QTP has its own ‘record and play’ mechanism which runs your quick and minor development and run it every day without taking much time to assure you that everything are fine in your application and it will run without any error in your live server. If you have such situation in your day to day development work or your application break every alternative day when you fix few minor bugs then you would test once the Quick Test Pro (QTP) tool once and you can feel lots of difference in you development and testing cycle.

When we say about QTP, one of the most powerful automated regression testing tools in the market, we should be take the licenses cost in to the account. Although the cost of testing in terms of time, man power effort is low as compare to the manual testing but the license cost is bit high because of its sophisticated and high reliable features. If you want to try this QTP testing and don’t want to purchase high cost QTP license then you can get it in share basics. The best offshore location to have this type of automated regression testing of your application is QTP Testing India Mindfire team.

Are Testers Creative ?

Imagination is the strongest tool for tester to use. Many times it isn't while directly testing the app that some thing falls apart it when you play with it. That's another secret to good testing. Play with the product. Example while testing a phone to send and receive SMS I was able to prove that it could send and receive and passed the test. I then tried to send and receive and the same time. The phone locked up. There was no test case designed for it. I was just playing with it.

Testers have to be creative with your test ideas. Think of scenarios that have not yet been tried. This is where you’ll save time by first understanding the duplicate bugs. It may sound hard, but it is time well spent in trying to understand the application and the scope for the test cycle. This creativity not only helps you for this particular test cycle, but will prove to be useful in other situations as well. So the point that you need to remember is this: Don’t just look for simple bugs. Go through the other reports logged and try to reproduce the bug and see if you can dig deeper for serious bugs. It does help to generate quite a few new ideas if you take some time and spend in reading other tester reports.

You will enjoy creativity in coming up with different attacks (methods for finding defects) to show presence (or absence) of defects. However, it is most likely that you will first have to execute tests created by others (less creativity here). Then you will have enough understanding of the different types of possible defects, and conceive new tests that others will execute (more creativity). Rather than executing test cases that have been written and executed over and over again, creative thinking testers adopt a more fitting and flexible approach to testing. Thinking testers delve into the unspoken assumptions and subject the product to a series of tests to determine its stability under different contexts and circumstances.

Creative testers are known to question the current testing methodologies and frameworks in order to find out the best-suited approach to a testing project. They will combine several different approaches to come up with a customized and suitable approach specific to the context of a project. If needed and feasible, thinking testers will rewrite old test scripts as well as write new ones. In some cases, creative testers may test randomly without writing a test case or following a series of defined test steps.

Thinking testers are known to think creatively, critically and broadly. They change the perspective of the whole team towards testing. Thinking testers adopt a brave and more flexible approach towards testing and challenge their teammates to do the same. Thinking testers take away the boredom that may frequently be associated with testing. Rather than simply testing the functionality and validating the product, creative thinking testers explore the product under different circumstances it may be susceptible to. Because of this, the delivered product is of a very high quality and has the highest chance of succeeding in the live environment.

Successful projects are a result of good people allowed to do good work. The characteristics that make someone succeed as a tester on an agile team are probably the same characteristics that make a highly valued tester on any team. Creativity, openness to ideas, willingness to take on any task or role, focus on the customer, and a constant view of the big picture are just some components of the agile testing mind-set. Good testers have an instinct and understanding for where and how software might fail, and how to track down failures.

How to Protect Data Corruption by Testing ?

In today’s information-driven enterprises, business critical information must be highly available, from internal company-sensitive data to applications that manage crucial partner and customer relationships. Outages are costly in lost revenue and damaged reputation, and can be crippling to the business.

Without the ability to reliably maintain the integrity of data, computers would be useless. No one would rely on a system that scrambles bank accounts, garbles inventory data, or loses order information.Customer's business are critically dependant on every component of a computer system having a high degree of data Integrity. Data Integrity problems are most difficult to detect with traditional testing techniques.

Validating data integrity requires testers to think differently from other programmers. Testcases that programmatically determine when an error is encountered and consists in gathering diagnostic data are very powerful . Expose bugs that do not surface in cursory testing, such as memory management bugs, memory leaks, buffer overflows, etc.

Ensure that the application meets the performance baseline established during performance testing. This is done by running regression tests against the application at a specified maximum load. Avoid modifying your system registry or over-clock your hardware to yield performance boost unless you're absolutely sure of what you're doing. You don't wish to fry your computer.

Do not share or allow network access to any unknown users. Your computer data can be prone to theft and modification if anyone on the network can access your files freely. When you receive mails with attachment from unknown senders, do not open it. Attempt to create tests that have minimal requirements on configurations and other system attributes. Also keep the test execution simple. This makes it easy to port te tests from test system,share the tests with other testers and ensure lots of reuse.

In contrast, some emerging software disciplines such as extreme programming and the agile software development movement, adhere to a "test-driven software development" model. In this process, unit tests are written first, by the software engineers (often with pair programming in the extreme programming methodology). Of course these tests fail initially; as they are expected to. Then as code is written it passes incrementally larger portions of the test suites. The test suites are continuously updated as new failure conditions and corner cases are discovered, and they are integrated with any regression tests that are developed. Unit tests are maintained along with the rest of the software source code and generally integrated into the build process (with inherently interactive tests being relegated to a partially manual build acceptance process). The ultimate goal of this test process is to achieve continuous integration where software updates can be published to the public frequently.
