General Testing Practices

 General Testing Practices

  1. Whenever possible, tests should be isolated and without system or user conflicts.
  2. Retest should always be executed and fully documented when significant errors are found.
  3. Review all scenarios and test cases with a functional expert prior to testing.
  4. Explain Findings and provide backup documentation.
  5. Define defect assignment and escalation workflow before test execution.
  6. Review the Defects with all the stake holders on regular basis helps to ensure that all the defects are on track.
  7. QA team and dev team should have Test Case review meeting before SQA which helps in synchronization and coordination of various QA activities and also minimize the defect rejection ratio.
  8. Knowledge sharing sessions helps in getting awareness on other business process areas.
  9. Maintaining a detailed KT Checklist which also covers transition pre requisites, application access, hands-on exposure followed by Exit Test.

Terminal Emulation – QTP Automation Testing

Terminal Emulation – QTP Automation Testing Topics to be covered 1. Basic understanding of the terminal emulator 2. Emulation terminology 3. Configuring the QTP to work with TE application 4. Automation testing methodology Basics of Emulator • Duplicates the functions of one system using a different system, so that second system behaves like a first system. • Computer simulation Example: AS400 and mainframes is a dark green color screen AS400 is introduced in the year of 1988 by IBM, formally renamed as IBM iseries but still called as AS400 is mid range server for the small business and large enterprises. It will work good within distributed network and web based applications for execution it uses OS400 ie operating systems. TN5250 Terminal emulation protocol IBM owned iseries access by TN5250 with WRQ’s reflection, humming bird’s host explorer, Cybele software’s Z scope Express 5250. AS400 is also a Mainframe which are used for large organizations, for critical applic...

Challenges while executing the test cases for large project

Defects are in Closed status but the test scripts in either Not Completed or Failed or Blocked Status. Based on the conversation with Program Director regarding this, we have followed this method to get more productivity Identify the defects which are closed and find the linked test scripts. Moved those to No Run status by updating the comment section in the test plan>>Run suite. Identified the test scripts which are in the Not completed status for more than two or three days Check the test steps status and if there is an update on those ie more than 50% of the test steps has been executed in that case need to check with the concerned tester for further update. Else move the test script to no run status. Possibility of no action on the test scripts due to concern tester is moved out of the portfolio or left the company or not feeling well or any emergency Defect is in "closed" status, so the test script is moved to "No Run" status t...
