Bug tracking. It's the Achilles' heel of software development. It's easy to report bugs found in software, but unless the bugs are properly tracked, all the way through to their resolution, one can never be sure whether these nuances truly have been swatted. Like criminals on the run, without proper bug tracking procedures, those responsible for fixing bugs spend their days living on the edge and forever looking over their shoulders. For they know that at any time, those bugs that weren't… Continue

Software Development Life Cycle, which is also known as Classic Life Cycle Model (or) Linear Sequential Model



The following are the actives of the SDLC:



1) System engineering and modeling



2) Software require analysis



3) Systems analysis and design



4) Code generation



5) Testing



6) Development and Maintenance



System Engineering and Modeling:



In this process we have to identify the… Continue

The process follows five stages;



1 Risk Identification:

Understand the risks by meeting with the relevant ‘experts’ from both the technical and the business communities and prepare a register of risks. Workshops, document reviews, past projects data can all be used to feed into this activity.



2 Risk Analysis:

Not all risks are equal, to ensure that testing addresses the high exposure risks first, relevant experts and stakeholders need to meet to… Continue

1. Introduction



Testing is carried out primarily for unearthing any defects present in the system and to prevent a defective product reaching the customers. Secondarily, testing is also carried out to convince the customer that the product conforms to and fulfills the specifications and the functionality agreed to.



Software Testing is recognized as a very important activity in software development. Of late, the importance of independent testing – that is testing by… Continue

Black Box Testing Techniques:



1) Boundary Value Analysis 2) Equivalence Partitioning



1) Boundary Value Analysis: Boundary Value Analysis is a technique of black box testing in which input values at the boundaries of the input domain are tested. It has been widely recognized that the input values at the extreme ends of, and just outside of, input domains tend to cause errors in system functionality.



In Boundary value Analysis values at, and just… Continue
