When a software quality assurance expert or the software tester receives an application to test, before proceeding for testing he must have key objectives in his mind. Testers must be focused on testing objectives to achieve the goal. The following objectives may assist you for successful testing.
- As a software tester/QA execute the application with the mindset of finding bugs.
- As a software tester/QA check in case, the system meets the requirements and is executed effectively within the expected environment.
- As a software tester/QA check for whether the system is “Fit for purpose” or “Fit for the use”.
- As a software tester/QA check in case the system does what it is intended to do.
- A good test case is one that includes a probability of finding as many errors it can also yet undiscovered errors [Creating good precise and efficient test cases].
- An efficient test is one that covers multiple scenarios, reveals hidden errors.
- A good test isn’t redundant.
- A successful test ought to be “best of breed”.
- A good test should be simple, not too complex.
- Must understand the application in depth.
- Must find bugs as quickly as possible and ensure bugs to be fixed in the required amount of time.
- Understand where bugs are more often to occur by studying the functionality of the application.
- Check whether each segment of the code is tested.
- Design test cases in a way that testing is done to uncover the hidden bugs, also the software is usable and reliable.
- Check whether an application can cover the non functional aspects such as performance and security, that is capable of being used for multiple users.
