About Test Data

Test data is needed for Testing an application/product.

What are the different types of test data?
There are four different types of test data
1. Synthetic test data or some call as Artificial test data: Which is created by the testing team with minimal knowledge on Business domain and may not able to replicate as production data.
Eg: SSN number and account number: Which is secured numbers which testing team know the size of the SSN number so team provides 9 digits to test it. Similarly the account number based on the bank size of the account number will be defined. With the help of Business analyst team create the account number but the same account number will be used n number of test cases.

2. Pre-production test data: Where the data is extracted from the Production and it will be processed and pushed the testing env for testing the application.
This test data is very useful and provides clear testing of an application.

Where we can get the test data?
Who can provide the test data?
What are the steps to be take care before using the test data?

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

Testing Topics

TESTING: ·          White box testing: It requires knowledge of internal program design and coding  It is usually done be the developers to test the programmers ·          Black box testing: Testing system functionality as per the requirements System Testing: System Testing tests all components and modules that are new, changed, affected by a change, or needed to form the complete application. The system test may require involvement of other systems but this should be minimized as much as possible to reduce the risk of externally-induced problems. Testing the interaction with other parts of the complete system comes in Integration Testing. The emphasis in system testing is validating and verifying the functional design specification and seeing how all the modules work together. For example, the system test for a new web interface that collects user input for addition to a database doesn’t need to include the database’s ETL application—processing can stop when the data is moved to the
