1. Way to Approach
Testing
YOUR WAY TO BRING SMILES TO CONSUMER

2. Mindset when you start testing
 Don’t look for bugs but try to explore the application and
play with it.
 Goal is not to find maximum number of defects but to
improve user experience for users who are going to use
the product.
 Aim is not to impress your manager by locking maximum
number of bugs but to bring joy to customers who are
going to use the application.

3. Prepare well before starting
 No day-dreaming while attending requirements
discussion.
 Keep asking questions and remove all ambiguous
requirements.
 Documentation is important. Helps you keep track of
things.

4. Planning
 Prepare User Stories from the requirements.
 Write Test-Cases for the features.
 Map User Stories to Test-Cases. This helps in covering all
bases.
 Club Test-Cases in different categories like Sunny Day
Scenarios, High Impact Area, Corner Cases etc.

5. Human Touch
 Keep the stakeholders i.e. Manager informed and share
the status.
 Have regular conversation with Product Manager to know
what are the critical flows in his/her eyes.
 Have friendly relationship with your development team.
During conversations you get an insight into what are the
weak areas and which feature or functionality need extra
attention.

6. Testing and Improving Quality
 Stick to the agreed plan.
 Execute Test-Cases in systematic manner.
 Update Test-Cases if required while testing.
 Log defects properly with all necessary details to avoid
delay and confusion.
 Prioritize your responsibilities and keep track of
everything.

7. Testing and Improving Quality
 Work in collaboration with team members.
 Bring in the knowledge gained while testing some other
product or while using an existing application.
 Improve User Experience of your product by looking into
similar products.
 After testing is complete and application goes live, keep
an eye on customer feedback.
