Manual Testing Training

Functional testing assesses whether the software performs its intended functions correctly according to specified requirements. Non-functional testing, however, examines attributes such as performance, usability, reliability, and security, focusing on how the software performs under different conditions rather than its functionality.

Common manual testing techniques include:

• Boundary Value Analysis: Testing input values at the edges of defined ranges to find issues at boundary limits.
• Equivalence Partitioning: Categorizing input data into equivalence classes to minimize the number of test cases while ensuring comprehensive coverage.
• Error Guessing: Applying intuition and past experience to anticipate where defects might occur.
• State Transition Testing: Evaluating how the software responds to changes in its state and transitions between different states.

Managing testing for different user roles and permissions involves creating test cases that cover each role’s specific access rights and functionalities. You need to test various scenarios based on these roles, ensuring users can only perform actions and access features appropriate to their roles and that restrictions are enforced properly.

Test data is essential for validating the software’s performance and functionality. It helps ensure that the application processes various input scenarios correctly, including edge cases and invalid data. Proper test data supports effective test execution and aids in identifying issues related to data handling and processing.

A test case typically includes:

• Test Case ID: A unique identifier assigned to the test case.
• Test Description: A brief overview of what the test case is intended to verify.
• Preconditions: Requirements or setup conditions needed before executing the test case.
• Test Steps: Detailed instructions to carry out the test.
• Expected Results: The anticipated outcomes of executing the test case.
• Actual Results: The observed outcomes during testing.
• Status: The result of the test case, indicating whether it passed or failed.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) is crucial for verifying that the software meets the end-users’ requirements and expectations. Typically conducted by actual users or stakeholders in a real-world setting, UAT confirms that the application is ready for deployment and addresses any user concerns or issues before the final release.

For applications with frequent updates, it’s vital to have a robust regression testing strategy. This involves regularly testing critical features to ensure that new updates do not introduce new defects or affect existing functionality. Prioritizing tests based on the impact of changes and automating repetitive tests can enhance efficiency.

Smoke testing is an initial, high-level test to check whether the software is stable enough for more in-depth testing. It focuses on the core functionalities and is often referred to as “build verification.” Sanity testing, in contrast, is more targeted, verifying that specific functionalities or bug fixes are working correctly after recent changes or enhancements. It ensures that particular issues have been resolved without impacting other areas of the application.
