Cost of Quality •
The three categories of costs associated with producing quality products are
3. Prevention cost : Money required to prevent errors and to do the job right the first time. 4. Appraisal costs : Money Spent to review completed product against requirement. 5. Failure costs : This cost associated with defective products that have been delivered to the user or moved into production. SOFTWARE TESTING

Quality Assurance Vs Quality Control • Quality Assurance - process oriented (Software development) - Defect prevention (Identify & Rectify) • Quality Control - Product Oriented (quality of the entire product is checked or tested) - Defect detection 13 / 50 SOFTWARE TESTING

Software Process A particular method of doing some thing, generally involving a number of steps or operations is a process. The process that deals with the technical and management issues of software development is called Software Process. SOFTWARE TESTING

Software Process • Process – Projects – Products A software process specifies a method of developing software. A software project, on the other hand, is a development project in which a software process is used. A Software product is the outcome of a software project. SOFTWARE TESTING

• Plan : Device a plan. Define your objective and determine and strategy and supporting methods required to achieve that objective. • Do : executive the plan. Create the conditions and perform the necessary training to execute the plan. • Check : Check the results. Check to determine whether work is progressing according to the plan and whether the results are obtained.

Requirement Analysis • Study done by organization against customer’s requirement is documented as SRAS( software requirement analysis specification) • The main objective of the requirements analysis is to produce a document that properly specifies all requirements of the customer. • SRS(Software Requirement Specification) is the primary output of this phase.

HLD • High-Level Design (system Design) – High-level design is the phase of the life cycle when a logical view of the computer implementation of the solution to the customer requirements is developed.
SOFTWARE TESTING

SKYTECH SYSTEMS
LLD • Low Level Design (Detailed Design) – During the detailed design phase, the view of the application developed during the high level design is broken down into modules and programs. Logic design is done for every program.

Coding and unit testing • During the build phase, the detailed design is used to produce the required programs in a programming language. • This stage produces the source code, executable, and databases applicable. SOFTWARE TESTING

Integration testing • Integration is a systematic approach to building the complete software structure specified in the design from unit-tested modules. • Integration plan must specify the order in which the modules are integrated. SOFTWARE TESTING

System Testing • System testing is an activity to validate the software product against the requirement specification. • This stage is intended to find defects that can be exposed only by testing the entire system. SOFTWARE TESTING

Acceptance and Installation • Acceptance and installation is the phase in the software life cycle during which a software product is integrated into its operational environment and tested in this environment to ensure that it performs as required. • The two basic tasks- getting the software accepted and installing the software at the customer site.

Risk Management Software Risks • 1. Risk identification : Identify project, product and business risks. • 2. Risk analysis : Assess the likelihood and consequences of these risks. • 3. Risk planning : Draw up plans to avoid or minimize the effects of the risk. • 4. Risk monitoring : Monitor the risks throughout the project SOFTWARE TESTING

Requirements Management • Requirements management is managing changes in the evolving software in a cost effective manner. Changes may come externally or internally. • External changes may be due to problem,customer, environment. • Internal changes may be due to requirements, design, implementation, testing, maintenance

Configuration Management • Standards and procedures for managing changes in an evolving software product is configuration management. • New versions of software systems are created as they change for different machines/OS, offering different functionality. • Software systems are sometimes called baselines as they are a starting point for further development.

version/variants/releases • Version : An instance of a system, which is functionally distinct in some way from other system instances. • Variant: An instance of a system, which is functionally identical but non-functionally distinct from other instances of a system. • Release : An instance of a system, which is distributed to users outside of the development team.

What is Defects ? –
The purpose of testing is to find defects. A defect is a variance from a desired product attribute. Two categories of defects are 2. Variance from product specifications. 4. Variance from customer/user expectation.
SOFTWARE TESTING
41 / 50
SKYTECH SYSTEMS
Defects • 1. Wrong : The specifications have been implemented incorrectly. This defect is a variance from customer / user specification. (correctly mentioned in specification but wrongly implemented) • 2. Missing : A specified or wanted requirement is not in the built product. This can be a variance from specification, an indication that the specification was not implemented. ( given in specification but missed out in application) • 3. Extra : A requirement incorporated into the product that was not specified. This is always a variance from specifications, but may the user of the product desire an attribute. (any thing that dissatisfies) SOFTWARE TESTING

Test case • Set of procedures written by a tester which execute in our system to find defect. – Positive test case – negative test case A test case is said to be effective only when both positive and negative cases are prepared. SOFTWARE TESTING

Unit Testing • Unit testing is a testing in which the individual unit of the software are tested in isolation from other parts of a program. Advantage : • To catch the defects that occurs at the early stage of software development. • To minimize the ration of defects before moving to next level SOFTWARE TESTING

Big Bang Testing • A type of integration in which software components of an application are combined all at once into a overall system according to this approach Advantage : • To check the data flow from one module to another • Communication between various modules is checked SOFTWARE TESTING

SKYTECH SYSTEMS
Integration • Bottom-up Integration testing : In bottom up integration, all modules are added or combined from lower level hierarchy to higher level hierarchy I.e., the lower level model is tested in isolation first, then the next set of higher level modules are tested with the previously tested lower modules. • Worker modules are grouped into builds and integrated.
