Test case optimization involves achieving a maximum test coverage with the minimum number of test cases.This may involve using various test techniques such as: Equivalence Partitioning Boundary value Analysis Genetic Algorithms

There are two strategies when it comes down to writing reusable test cases: Modularization Modularization is a function-based method of test design where testers categorize functionality to be tested into reusable modules. Testers break down test caes into logical, manageable functions, or modules. These modules are isolated to create independent tests that can then beContinue reading “Strategies to writing re-usable test cases”

Many things could go wrong when a new feature or functionality is being developed. It may turn out that the business may change their mind and this feature will be no longer needed. If tests are being automated while the feature is also being developed then the tests may need to be updated many times.Continue reading “When do you write and run automated test scripts?”

When As per the Test Process (STLC), test cases are developed during the Test Design activity. Once all the requirements have been gathered, analysed and the test cases have been developed. This is exactly the time to decide on which test cases to be automated. How Not all test cases will be automated. The followingContinue reading “Selecting test cases to be automated”

Simply put, automated testing is the automatic execution of tests and comparing expected and actual results without testers having to manually perform them.

Continuous integration is a software development practice where developers regularly merge their code changes into the central repository (VCS). This activity triggers automated builds and tests to be run. The goal is to find bugs earlier, improve software quality and reduce time to validate and release new software updates. Continuous delivery automates the entire softwareContinue reading “Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Deployment and Continuous Testing”

DevOps is a set of practices that combines the processes that are normally carried out by two different teams i.e. software development and IT (operations) teams. The purpose of the DevOps is to build, test and release software faster and more reliably. One fundamental practice is to perform very frequent but small updates. This makesContinue reading “7 DevOps practices”

Agile scrum is an iterative and incremental software development model. This means that they are building smaller blocks of software and involve stakeholders for earlier feedbacks/reviews. This means that they can reduce the delivery time as well as ensure a high customer satisfaction due to higher software quality. There is no lengthy documentation process whichContinue reading “How agile scrum overcomes the drawbacks of waterfall?”

For scrum, there is a fixed sprint length of 1 – 4 weeks but on the other hand, kanban aims to achieve continuous flow i.e. there is no set time. This also means that at the end of the sprint, a scrum team would have developed a working software that could be shipped. For kanban,Continue reading “Difference between agile scrum and kanban?”

Scrum master – Most similar to a project manager in other software development model, scrum master is responsible for supporting the development team, clearing organizational roadblocks, facilitate scrum team meetings and check in with the team and ensuring that the tasks are completed on time.Product owner – Product owner represents the stakeholders of the project.Continue reading “What are the roles in agile scrum?”
