Software Testing Tips

Here are some of the Best Testing Practices which I learned by Experience:  1) Learn to analyze your test results thoroughly. Do not ignore any test result. The final test result may be ‘pass’ or ‘fail’, but troubleshooting the root cause of ‘fail’ will give you the solution of the problem. Testers will be respected if they not only log the bugs but also provide solutions. 2) Learn to maximize the test coverage each time you test any application. 100% test coverage might not be possible but still, you can always try to reach near it. 3) In order to ensure maximum test coverage, break your application under test (AUT), into smaller functional modules. Write test cases on such individual unit modules. Also if possible break these modules into smaller parts. E.g : Lets assume that you have divided your website application in modules and ‘accepting user information’ is one of the modules. You can break this ‘User information’ screen into smaller parts for writing ...
