This document provides information about manual testing and the software development lifecycle. It discusses various testing concepts like types of testing (unit, integration, system), testing methodologies (black box, white box, gray box testing), testing levels, and software development process models like waterfall, prototype, evolutionary, and spiral models. It also defines key terms used in software testing and development such as requirements documents, design documents, defects, test cases, environments, and more.

1. MANUAL TESTING
1) Q. Why did you choose testing ?
Ans: 1) Scope of getting the job is very very high.
2) No need of depend upon any technology.
3) Testing is going to be there forever.
4) I want consistence through out my life.
2) Q. What exactly we need to get a job?
Ans: 1) Stuff
2) Communication skills [reading+ writing + speaking+ lesion]
3) Confidence
4) Dynamism
3) Q. Why explicitly the test engineers are been recruiting in to the software
companies?
Ans: 1) Once person cannot perform two tasks efficient at a time.
2) Sentimental attachments.
4) Q. Who can get testing job?
Ans: Any graduate who is creative can get testing job very easily
5) Q. Why explicitly the testing engineers are been recruited into the software
companies?
Ans: 1) One person can’t perform two task efficiently at a time.
2) Sentimental Attachment.
• PROJECT:-
Project is something that is developed based on the particular customers
requirements and used by that particular customers only.
1

2. • PRODUCT:-
Product is something that is developed base on the companies specification
and used by the multiple customers.
NOTE:- The company will decide the specification by picking the common requirements of
customer.
6) Q.Classical definition of quality?
Ans: Quality is defined has justification of all the requirements of a customer in a product.
NOTE: Quality is not defined in the product it is defined in the customer mind.
• DEFECT: Defect is defined as deviation from the requirements.
7) Q. Latest definition of quality?
Ans: Quality is defined as not only the justification of the requirements but also presence of
the value [value ..means ..user friendly]
8) Q. What is testing?
Ans: Testing is a process in the defects are Identified, Isolated[separately],Subject for
Rectification[sending] Ensure that the product is defect free in order to produce a quality
product in the end and hence customer satisfaction.
9)Q. What is bidding the project?
Ans: Bidding the project is defined as request are proposal, estimation and signing
off(official-agreement).
• KICK OF MEETING:- Kick off meeting is the initial meeting conducted in
the software company soon after the project is signed off in order discuss the
overview of the project once select project manager for that project.
Us ally
• High level management [HLM]
• Project managers [PM]
• Quality managers [QM]
• Technical managers [TM]
• Development leads & Test leads
2

3. Will be involved in this meeting Apart from them many times customer representations also
Will be involved in this meeting.
NOTE:- Apart from this meeting any other start up meeting in also called as “kick off
meeting”.
• PIN [ Project Initiation Note]:- PIN It is a mail prepared by the project
manager and sent the CEO of software company as well as to all of his core
team members in order to intimate then that they are about to start the actual
project activities.
CEO=Chief Executive Officer
COO=Chief Of Officer
SDLC [Software Development Life Cycle]:-
It contains 6 Phase
• Initial or Requirement Phase
• Analysis Phase
• Designed Phase
• Coding Phase (or) Programming phase
• Testing Phase
• Deliver and maintenance Phase
Initial or Requirement Phase:-
Task:-Interacting with the customer and gathering the requirements.
Roles:- i) Business Analyst [BA]
ii) Engagement manager [EM]
Process:- First of all the Business Analyst can Appointment . from the customer, collects
the template from the company meet the customer an the appointment date gathers the
requirements with the help of the template and come back to the company with the
requirement documentary.
The Engagement manager will go through the requirements document. If at all he
finds any extra requirements hence he will deal with the excess cast of project. If it is any
confession of requirements then the will ask the consult team to develop the prototype he
3

4. will demonstrates to the customer gather the clean requirements and finally hand over the
requirements document to the business analyst.
Proof:- Proof of this phase is “Requirements Document”.
This document is called with different name in different companies
FRS (Functional Requirements Specification)
CRS (Client or Customer Requirements Specification)
URS (User Requirements Specification)
BDD (Business Design Document)
BD (Business Document)
BRS (Business Requirement Specification)
NOTE:-Some companies may maintains two documents in the initial phase, one is for High
level business flow information and the other in for Detail function information.
But some companies may maintains both the intimation in a single document.
• Template:- Template in a predefined format which is used for preparing the
document easily and perfectly
• Prototype:- Prototype is a roughly and rapidly developed model which is
used is for demonstration to the customer in order to gather the clear
requirement and also to win his confidence of the customer.
Analysis phase:-
Task:-
• Feasibility study
• Tentative planning
• Technology selection & Environment conformation
• Requirement analysis
Roles:-
• System Analyst [SA]
• Project Manager [PM]
• Team &Technical Manager [TM]
4

5. Process:-
Feasibility study:- (possibility) It is a detailed study conducted on requirement in order to
conform whether all of those requirements are possible with in the given time budget and
resources are not.
Tentative planning (Temporary):- The resource planning as well as scheduling will be
temporary planned section.
Technology selection & Environment conformation:- The list of all the technologies that
are required to accomplish this project successfully will be enlisted as well as the client
environment will be conformed here in this section.
Requirement analysis:- The list of all the requirements that are required by the company
like human resource , software and hardware to accomplish that project ,successful will be
enlisted and mentioned here in this section.
Proof: The proof document if the analysis phase is SRS (System Requirement
Specification )
Designed Phase:-
Task:- i) High Level Designing [HLD]
ii) Low Level Designing [LLD]
Roles:- i) Chief architect (CA) : is responsible for high level designing.
ii) Technical Lead (TA): is responsible for low level designing.
Process:- The chief architect will divided whole project into modules ,by drawing some
diagrams using a language UML(Unified Modeling Language)
 The technical lead will divided the modules into sub modules by drawing some
diagrams using the same UML.
 Apart from this takes GUI design also will be done in this phase.
 Some time pseudo code also will be developed in this phase.
Proof:- The proof document of this phase is TDD (Technical Design Document)
• Pseudo code:-It is set of English statement which used for developing in the
actual code very easily and comfortably.
Coding Phase:-
5

6. Task:- coding (or) programming
Roles:-Developers (or) programming
Process:- The developers will develop the actual source code with the support of technical
design document as well as by following the coding standards.
Example for coding standards:
 Proper indentation
 Color coding.
 Proper commenting.
Proof:- The proof document of the coding phase SCD (Source Code Document).
Testing phase:-
Task:- Testing
Roles:- Test engineers
Process:-
 Test engineers will receive the requirement document and will start
understanding the requirement.
 While understanding the requirement if at all the get any doubt then they will
list out all the doubt in the requirements clarification note and will send it to
the author of the requirement doubt BA(Business Analyst).
 Once the clarification are given if still more clarification are required then they
will conduct a review meeting and will get all the clarification.
 Once all the requirement are clearly understood then they will take the Test
case template and will write the test cases.
 Once the 1st
Build is released they will execute the test cases.
 If at all any defects are found they will list out then in the defect profile and
will send it to the development department .
 Once the next Build is released they will re execute the required test case.
 If at all any more defect are found they will update the defect profile and will
send it to the development department.
 Once the next Build is released the same process will be continued.
6

7.  This process will be continued again and again till the product is defect free.
Proof:- The proof the testing phase is Quality Product .
• Test Case:- If is an Idea of test engineer to test something based on the
requirements.
Delivery & Maintains Phase:-
Delivery:-
Task:- Hand overring the application to the client .
Roles:- Deployment Engineers or Installation Engineers
Process:- Deployment engineers will go to the clients place , install the application into the
original customer ,Environment and finally hand over’s the software to the customer.
Proof:- The final official argument made between the company and the customer is the
proof document this phase.
Maintains:- Once the customer start using the application if at all any problem occurs then
that problem will become the task ,based on the task corresponding roles will be appointed
,these roles will define the process, solves the problem and final get the Application latter.
Some customer many request for continuo’s maintenance in that situation the
company will send a team of member to the customer place continuously in order to take care
of that software.
Q. where exactly testing comes in to picture?
Which sort of testing you are expecting?
How many sort or testing are there?
Ans:- They are two sort of testing
i) Un convectional testing.
ii) Convectional testing.
Un convectional testing:- It is a sort of testing in which the quality assurances people. Will
check each and every role in the organization in order to conform weather they are doing
their work according to the companies proper guidelines are not. Right form the staring of the
SDLC to the end of it.
7

8. Convectional testing:- It is a sort of testing in which the test engineers will check the
developed application (or) its related parts are working according to the expectation or not
from the coding phase to the end of the “SDLC”
Methods of the testing (or) testing techniques:-
Basically there are two methods of testing.
i) Black Box testing.
ii) White Box Testing (or) Glass Box Testing (or) Clear Box Testing
Black Box Testing:- It is a method of testing in which one will perform testing only on the
Functional part of an application with out on the having the knowledge of structural part.
Usually the black box Test engineers will perform it.
White Box Testing:- It is a method of testing in which one will perform testing on the
Structural part of an application .
Usually developers (or) White box testers will perform it.
Gray Box testing:- It is a method of testing in which one will perform testing on both the
functional part as well as the structural part of an application.
Usually the test engineers who have the knowledge of structural part will perform it.
Levels of Testing:-
There are five levels of testing
• Unit level testing.
• Module level testing.
• Integration level testing.
• System level testing.
• User acceptance level testing.
Unit level testing:-
Unit:- Unit is defined as smallest part of an application.(program)
In this stage the white box testing will test each and every developed program
and also the combination of programs.
Module level testing:-
8

9. Module:- Module is defined as a group of related features to perform a major task in the
application.
In this stage the Black box test engineers will test the functional part of the
module.
Integration level testing:- In this stage the developers of will develop some
interface(linking program) in order to integrate the modules this interface will be tested by
white box testers. Developers will follow any one of the approaches white integration the
module.
 Top down approaches
 Bottom up approaches
 Hybrid approaches (or) Sand rive approached
 Big-Bang approaches
• Top down approaches:- In this approaches the parent modules will be
developed first and then the corresponding child modules will be developed
and integrated.
STUB:- While integrating the modules in top down approach if at all any mandatory
modules are missing then that mandatory modules will be replace with a temporary
program.
9

10. • Bottom up approach:- In this approached the child modules will be
developed first and will be integrated to the corresponding parent modules.
DRIVER:- While integrating the module in bottom up approached if at all any mandatory
modules is missing then that modules is replaced with a temporary program “DRIVER”
• Hybrid approach (or) San drive approach:- This a mixed approach of Both
top down and bottom up approaches.
10

11. • Big-Bang approach:- In this approach one will wait till all the modules are
developed and finally will integrate then at a time.
System level testing:-
System:- Once the software application is installed in to an environment then as a whole we
will call it as a system.
In this stage the block box test engineers will conduct many type of testing like
load testing, performance testing, stress testing, comparability testing, system integration
testing……..ect.
• System integration testing:- It is a type of testing in which on will perform
some action on module and check for the reflections in all the related are as of
the application.
11

12. User acceptance level testing:- In this stage the block box test engineer will perform testing
on the user desired areas in the presence of accept the application happy.
Environment:-
Environment defined as group of hardware compounds with some basic
software (OS) where one can install the Presentation Logic, Business Logic, Data Base
Logic.
[or]
Environment defends as combinations of three layer that is Presentation
Layer, Business Layer, Data Base Layer. Where once can install the Presentation Logic,
Business Logic, Data Base Logic.
Type Of Environment:-
 Stand Alone Environment (or) One Tier Architecture.
 Client Sever Environment (or) Two Tier Architecture.
 Web Based Environment (or) Three Tier Architecture.
 Distributed Environment (or) N-Tier Architecture.
Stand Alone Environment (or) One Tier Architecture:-
In this environment only one tier will be there. Presentation layer, business layer,
data base layer will be present in the same tier.
When ever the application need to be used by single user at time
then environment will be suggested.
12

13. Client Sever Environment (or) Two Tier Architecture:- In this environment two tier will
be there .one is for client and another is for data base server. Presentation layer and the
business layer will be available is each and every client and the data base player will be
present in data base server.
When ever the application need be used single premises and there is no
problem with the security of the. Business logic as well as the application need accessed very
fast lye then this environment be suggested.
Web Based Environment (or) Three Tier Architecture:- In this environment three tier will
be there one is for clients, the middle is one is for application sever and the other is for data
13

14. base sever. presentation layer available in the client business layer will be available in the
application server. data base sever.
When ever the application need to be used all over the world by limited
numbers of user and wounds the business logic will be secured and function updaters to be
easily them the in environment can be suggested.
• WEB SERVER:- Web server is a software which provides web services to
the client.
EX:- IIS(Internet Information Services)
Distributed Environment (or) N-Tier Architecture:-This environment is same as web
environment more the one application sever is introduced in separate hers in order to
distributed the load and increase the performance.
When ever the application needs to be use by huge number of user then this
environment can be suggested.
14

15. • THIN CLIENT:- If at all the client machine is having only the .presentation
logic then it is know as thin client.
• THICK CLIENT:- If at all the client machine is having both presentation
logic as well as business logic then it is known as thick client.
• APPLICATION:- It is a Presentation Layer, Business Layer, Data Base
Layer.

• Verification:- Verification is a process of checking whether the product is being
developing in a right manner or not.
• Validation:- Validation is a process of checking whether the develop product is right
or not.
TYPE OF TESTING:-
• Build acceptance testing (or) Build verification testing (or) Sanity
testing
• Regression testing
• Re testing
• Half- testing
• B-testing
20

21. • Static testing
• Dynamic testing
• Instillation testing
• Compatibility testing
• Exploratory testing
• End-To-End Testing
• Security testing
• Usability testing
• Reliability testing
• Mutation testing
• Adhoc testing
Build acceptance testing (or) Build verification testing (or) Sanity testing:-
It is a type of testing in which one will conduct overall testing one the released build in
order to conform where the proper of not for conducting detailed testing
In this type of testing us ally they check the following.
i) Weather the build can be properly installed in to environment or not
ii) Weather one can navigate to all the pages of the application or not.
iii) Weather all the important feature are available or not.
iv) Weather all the requirement connections are properly established or not.
21

22. In some company they will call this types of testing as Smoke testing also
but in some companies they say that just before releasing the build the developer will check
weather the build is proper or not i.e. know as Smoke testing.
Once the build is released the testing engineers will once again check weather
the build is proper or not i.e. knows as BAT (or) BVT (or) sanity testing.
Regression testing:- It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the ready
testing functionality again and again us allay it is done in two servicers.
i) When even some defects are identified raised to the development department once
the next build is released the testing engineers will check the defect functionality as
well as the related functionality once again.
ii) When ever some new feature are added i.e. the application next build is released to
the testing department then the test engineers will check all the related feature’s of
those new feature’s once again.
NOTE: - Testing new features for the first time not regression testing.
Some companies may do Random testing at the end that also will fall under
regression testing only.
Retesting: - It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the same functionality
again and again with multiple sets of data in order come to a conclusion weather the
functionality is working fine or not.
NOTE:-
i) Regression testing starts form the 2nd
build and continue up to the last build.
ii) Re testing starts from the 1st
build and continuous up to the last build.
iii) During regression testing also re testing will be conducted that is the reason
some people even call it as Re and Regression testing.
Half testing: - It is a type of testing user accepting testing conducting in the soft ware
company by the test engineers just before the delivery.
B-testing: - It is a type of testing user accepting testing conducting in the client place either
by the end user (or) by the third party testing experts just before actual implementation of a
application.
22

23. Static testing: - It is types of testing in which one will perform testing on the application on
its related factors without perform any action.
EX: - GUI testing, Document testing, code--------------ect
Dynamic testing: - It is types of testing in which one will perform testing on the application
on its related factors by perform some action.
EX: - retesting, functionality testing…….ect.
Instillation testing :- It is a type of testing in which one will trey to instillation the
application by following the guide ling provided in the deployment document in order to
conform whether those guidelines really suitable for instillation the application comfortable
(or) not.
Compatibility testing:- It is type of testing in which one will install the application into
multiple environment prepared with different .combation in order to check .whether it is
suitable with those environment (or) not.
Monkey testing: - It is type of testing in which one will intentionally perform some action
in order to check stability of the application.
Port testing: - It is type of testing in which one will install the application into the original
customers environment and check whether it is comprisable with that environment (or) not.
Exploratory testing:- It is type of testing in which Do many expert will check the
functionality of the application which out having the knowledge of requirement just by
parallel exploring the functionality.
• Exploratory: - Have in the base knowledge of some concept doing something and
more about it is knows as exploratory.
End-To-End testing: - It is type of testing in which one will perform testing on all the end to
end sceneries of the application.
Ex:- login
Balance enquiry ----10,000
With draw -------3,000
Balance stmt ----------7,000
Logout
Security testing:- It is type of testing in which one will perform testing on the application in
order to conform whether it is properly protected (or)not.
23

24. i) Authentication testing : It is a type of security testing in which one will enter
different combination of user names and password .and check whether only
authorized people are able to access the application (or)not.
ii) Direct URL testing: It is type of security testing in which one will enter the direct
URL’s if secured pages and check whether they access (or) not.
URL [Uniform Resource Location]
iii) Fire wall leakage testing (or)User realized testing :- It is type of testing in
which one will enter into the application as a authorized user and will try to access
bye and his limited in order to conform whether he can access (or)not.
Usability testing:- It is type of testing in which one will check the user friendly of the
application.
Reliability testing (or) Socking testing:- It is type of testing in which one will use the
application continues for long period of time in order to set the stability of the application.
Mutation testing:- It is type of testing in which one will perform testing on the application or
its related factors after doing some changes to them.
Adhoc testing:-It is a type of testing in which one will perform testing on the application in
the there own style after understanding requirement very clearly.
Us ally this type of testing will be encouraged after formal testing.

Guide line for the writing GUI test case:-
Any idea a test engineer with which he feels that we can test something with out doing any
action will follow under GUI test case.
EX:-
 Check for the available of all the object .
 Check for the consistence for the object.
 Check for the allayment of the object
 If at all the customer requirement are given.
 Check for the spelling and grammar.
Guide line for the writing the +Ve test case:-
 Test engineer should have +Ve mind set.
 He should consider the +Ve flow of the application
 He must use only the valid input from the point of the functionality.

Guide line for the writing the –Ve test case :-
 Test engineer should have –Ve mind set.
 He should consider the –Ve flow of the application
 He must at list one invalid input in each set of data.
Test execution phase:- In this phase test engineer will do the following.
 He will perform the action as it is described in the description Colum.
 He will observer the actual behavior of the application.
 He will document observer value under the actual value Colum.
Result analysis :- In this phase test engineer will compare the expected value with actual values and
if both are matching they will decide result as pass other wise fail.
If at all the test if not executed then they will decide the result as blocked.
Bug tracking:- Bug tracking is processes which defect are isolate, identify, and managed.

47.  Generally the fatal defect will be given critical priority, major defect will be given, high
priority, minor defect will be given medium priority, but dependence on the situation priority
will be changed.
Low severity high priority case:-
When ever there is a customer visit all the look and feel defects will be given highest priority
even though they are less serious.
High severity low priority case:-
When ever some part of model if development, reminding part is testing
department, the test engineer will raise that part is fatal issue but the development will given
low priority given it.

48. • New:- When ever the defect is newly identified by the test engineer then the status is new.
• Open:- When ever the developer the accepts then
• Deferred:- When ever the developer the accepts the defect but wants some time for rectifying
the defect the will set the status is deferred.
• Fixed:- When ever the defect is rectified the developer will set the status as fixed.
• Reopened and Close:- Once the next build released the test engineer will check whether
defect is relay rectified (or)not if at all they feel relay rectified then they will set the status as
closed other wise reopened.
• Hold:- When ever the developer is configured to accept or reject the defect they will set the
status is hold.
When ever the defect is hold status as they will be a meeting on that defect (Triage
meeting) and if at all consoled as a defect the developer will open it other wise the tester will closed it.
• Rejected:-When ever the developer is conformed it is not a defect there he will status is
rejected.
When ever the defect is rejected status the test engineer will once again check if at all he
also feels it is a not a defect then he will set the status as closed other he will reopened.
• As per design:- (it is a rare case only)
When ever the developer feels the tester has raised the defect with out having
knowledge of latest requirement then he will check the status as As per design.
When ever the defect in as per design status the test engineer will go to the new
requirement if at all he also feel it is as per design only then he will set the status is closed
other wise reopened.
Reporting phase:-
Classical Bug reporting process :-
Test lead Develop lead

49. Tester Developers
Draw Back:-
 Redundancy
 Time consuming
 No transparency
 No security
Common repository oriented bug repotting process:-
Test lead Common repository Develop lead
Bug tracking tool oriented Bug Reporting process :-
Common repository

BTT

50. Bug tracking tools :- Bug tracking tool is soft ware application which can be accessed only by the
etherized people which provides all the facility for bug tracking tools.
EX:- Bug zilla, issues tracking
Test closer Activity :- This a finely activity done in the process the test summary report which
contain some following information .
No.of cycles execution.
Devotion in of each cycle.
No.of test case are execution in which cycle.
No.of test case are passed are failed .
No.of defect are found in each cycle and extra.
Way of testing:- there or two type.
i) Manual testing.
ii) Automation testing.
Manual testing:- Manual testing is a process in which all the phase of software testing life cycle like
test planning, test development, test execution, result analysis, bug tracking and report or accomplish
successful manually with human efforts.
Draw back of manual testing:-
• Time consuming.
• Less accuracy.
• Tiredness.
• Simulations action are all most impossible .
• Con’t repeat the same task again and again with some interest.
• More no.of human resources are required.
