Nathan Hunsdale Testing - Testing through the Software Lifecycle Masters of Science English 18 cards

Cards in this deck (18)

  1. 1Experience Based Testing What is of prime importance to the test cases and test conditions?People's knowledge, skills and background
  2. 2Experience Based Testing Who, specifically, is the experience required of?Technical and Business People
  3. 3Experience Based Testing It goes in conjunction with both...specification based and structure based techniques
  4. 4Experience Based Testing When might this technique be particularly used?When there is no specification
    (or if the specification is inadequate or out of date)
  5. 5Experience Based Testing What are the 2 main types?1) Error Guessing
    2) Exploratory Testing
  6. 6Experience Based Testing Explain the Error Guessing Technique...A situation where experienced testers are encouraged to think of situations in which the software might not be able to cope
  7. 7Experience Based Testing Error Guessing Explain the Fault Attack method...The team enumerates a list of possible defects and design tests that attack these defects
  8. 8Experience Based Testing Error Guessing What is the success dependent upon?The skill and experience of the tester
  9. 9Experience Based Testing Error Guessing When should it be used?AFTER some more formal techniques have been used to some extent; then it can be used very effectively
  10. 10Experience Based Testing Error guessing Some examples of error guesses- Division by 0
    - Blank or No input files
    - Empty Files
    - Wrong type of data entered
  11. 11Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing What should the tester always be aware of during this technique?Time, or lack thereof
  12. 12Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing When is it particularly useful?When time is limited & if there are no/poor specifications
  13. 13Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing A ______ ______ approach wherein testers take part in ______ ______ and ______ ______ ______It's a hands on approach wherein testers take part in minimum planning and maximum test execution
  14. 14Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing What does this involve the creation of?A Test Charter
  15. 15Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing What is a Test Charter?A survey that helps determine the objectives and possible approaches
  16. 16Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing Which activities are performed in parallel?Test Design and Test Execution
    - These are done without the formal documentation
  17. 17Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing Explain test logging...It is undertaken as Test Execution is performed and it documents the key aspects of what is tested as well as defects found and possible further testing
    (ultimately it establishes greater confidence in the software)
  18. 18Experience Based Testing Exploratory Testing Test Logging What can it be used as a check on and how?The formal test process by ensuring that the most serious defects have been found
