<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The given type of independent testing allows quality assurance consulting specialists to check thoroughly each individual component (module, object, class, function, etc.) of the software, in order to make sure in its correct performance. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is a paramount, negative and positive testing of newly emerging functionality, which takes place during the software development. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unit functional testing service assumes testing of each component in isolation in an artificially created environment.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Given testing type performed based on approved testing requirements using manual and automated testing services. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For internal projects, QA team uses “test first” approach, when automated tests are created before the software development. In this case, tests written before development process are run opposite the created and integrated pieces of code. The development is carried out until testers have successfully passed all tests.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Software testers also write individual test cases describing the steps and expected results;and they also write use-cases (usage scenarios) describing the user actions and system reaction on user-performed actions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unit functional testing is performed during the development of each system module. Therefore, in case of defect detection, testers will need to execute the redesign of a separately tested module, but not of all the system.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Besides, unit testing makes possible the defects detection in technical tasks or in project architecture, as well as the ability of separate program parts on each development stage. After the link-edit of these modules, it’s enough to perform system and regression testing. In addition, there will be no same defects in the work of modules, which will save the resources spent on fixing bugs already after the product release. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The prototype creation and testing with attracting your target group – is the best way to assess a new project and understand whether it will be commercially successful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Prototype Testing</i></b> provides an opportunity to examine thoroughly the project on first stages and make all essential alterations in accordance with desired objectives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Testing service providers claim that prototype testing assures a complete serviceability of the product when it is released.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a part of QA services, prototype testing saves both time and money on software development quality assurance of the product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The introduction of testing on the prototyping stage allows retrenching money costs and time, insofar as at the very beginning, the project will be carefully worked out and all specification details will be considered.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Prototype Testing for Small Projects </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For small projects, developed based on cascade model, prototype testing is especially critical. Why? Even minor noncompliance is requirements would lead to additional costs, and non-detected & unrecorded errors on early development stages, in general, may adversely affect your product’s fate.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Why Prototype Testing Service is Required?</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- testing team clearly follows the recommendations in the user instructions and carry out work in accordance with a clear test plan;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- QA team pays a significant attention to identification of structural and logical errors in the prototype, which can cause a system failure;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- testers compare the prototype structure with similar variants of products on design, offers own variants on improvement;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- QA testers check whether the developed software meets international standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thanks to qualified QA engineers, who performed their work successfully, prototype testing will calculate the potential costs at every stage of the product creation and to determine the most effective model of development. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Requirements Testing</i></b> is performed to determine whether the project requirements are implementable in terms of time, resources and budget. The majority of the software defects occur because of requirements being insufficient, inaccurate and ambiguous. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This testing type includes documentation testing describing:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- project functionality;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- user-interface;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- hardware & software interfaces;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- performance criteria;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- issues and risks associated with the project implementation ;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- safety criteria & system correctness.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This type of independent testing also includes the help in collection and analysis of user data and their substantive work. It’s essential for user interface testing services performance, profiles creation, finalization of documentation, etc.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Main Benefits:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-helps to improve the quality of requirements;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
-tends to reduce the number of tests performed for specified requirements satisfaction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
QA consulting team should collect and analyze the requirements for understanding what technologies would be used within project creation and its aims.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
What do you know about <b><i>Localization Testing Services</i></b>? Not a lot? It's not a problem! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I feel like sharing some information about localization. Hope it will be new and fresh for you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Localization was recognized as an independent software testing type more than 20 years ago and since that time, it has experienced some major developments. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Localization testing has become an indispensable component of just about every software localization endeavor.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Localization testing</i></b> as an independent testing type aims to verify whether the localized software/product is linguistically accurate and properly adjusted to the local languages and cultures.With what exactly localization deals with and tries to improve? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Issues Introduced as a Direct Result of Localization are</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Linguistic or terminological issues.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Issues related to Graphical User Interface & its look and feel.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Issues that may break or comprise the functionality of the localized product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Localization testing is necessary for every software product, but it’s crucial for that product, which will soon enter the international market.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Localization Testing is Necessary When:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- a program has the multilingual versions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- the software products are at risk of localization errors.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- there are errors that seriously impact the product usability and can make a program good-for-nothing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
TestMatick testers mostly concentrate on the software UI and content during localization testing; special attention is paid to different languages and culture peculiarities. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Apache Bench</i></b> – is a simple tool for load testing service. This utility is included in the standard Apache Assembly and even have almost all ready assemblies such as Denwer, WAMP, XAMPP. Very easy to use and highly configurable.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you are the beginner in load testing, <b>ab</b> (Apache Bench) – just what you need. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Main advantages that <b>ab</b> is easy and convenient for learning/using, while its the biggest drawback is low functionality. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, what Apache Bench can?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All request are executed through <i>Http</i> protocol. <i>Https</i> is ,unfortunately, not supported. This is another minus :( </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In <b>ab</b>, you can set the total number of requests executed in parallel and time limits for all requests. Apache Bench offers the possibility to use post and head requests. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also add content-type headers and parameters from the cookies, send requests to apache bench, use the proxy server. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can work with basic <i>Http</i> authentication and basic proxy authentication. It also supports <i>H</i><i class="">ttp</i> keep-alive-the ability to send requests within one <i>Http</i> session. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
By default, apache bench this feature is turned off.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><u>Drawbacks:</u> </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Resource-intensive.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- There is a little amount of static data. Also, Joe Dog Siege doesn’t emulate very good such user scenarios as the speed limit of user requests. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Not suitable for serious and large-scale testing in hundreds and thousands of threads, because it is resource-intensive, and on a large number of requests and threads loads the system greatly.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Information security audit</b> – is an independent evaluation of the current state of information security system. It establishes the level of compliance with particular criteria and provides results in the form of recommendations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
IS audit allows getting the most comprehensive and objective evaluation of information system security, localize problems and develop an effective IS management system building program organization.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Within the IS audit, or as a separate project, dedicated testers can carry out penetration test service to verify company information system's ability to resist attempts to infiltrate your network and unauthorized exposure to information.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penetration testing is needed to identify the possible scenario of penetration into the network with the achievement of different goals (capture or administrative rights in the domain database, creating traces of an attacker compromising critical systems).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Penetration testing allows you to get an objective assessment of how easy it is to exercise unauthorized access to resources on the corporate network or website of your company, how, through what vulnerabilities or through any flaws in the system.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Conducting penetration testing allows you to test the level of security systems and the level of maturity of the ISMS.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
External penetration test is performed from the public networks and simulates the behavior of the attacker, who attacks from the Internet (using social engineering, and without it). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
External penetration tests vary in scope initially provided information specialist, performing the test.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Best independent software testing companies organize independent software testing performed by experienced specialists, who don’t participate in the process of information system development. It guarantees the testing being objective, as well as conformity of the delivered software non-functional and functional requirements. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Independent testing performed by <a href="http://testmatick.com/" target="_blank">TestMatick</a> allows our customers to use a single test repository, the best company’s achievements, 24/7 support team.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The practice of independent testing performance aims to provide a wide range of services, which client can use them both in complex, or separately, in any combination. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Top independent testing companies should offer the following services:</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- load testing, performance testing, stress testing;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- regression/functionality testing;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The clients should also get a number of additional benefits. For example: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- reduction of risks to release a low-quality product;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- risk reduction of postponing the release;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Integration testing software service</i></b> is aimed to validate the connection between components, and the cooperation of various system parts (operating system, equipment or hookups between various systems).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Integration Testing Levels: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Component Integration Testing.</i></b> On the given level, one checks the interaction between system components after component testing has been performed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>System Integration Testing.</i></b> The interaction between various systems is checked after the system testing has been executed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>What are the Continuous Integration Services? </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Continuous Integration (CI)</i></b> is a practice in software engineering. It’s aimed to provide an immediate feedback about the introduced defect in the code base, which can be detected and eliminated as soon as possible.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Three Approaches to Integration Testing:</b> </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>#1. Bottom Up Integration.</i></b> Software tester gathers all the low-level modules, procedures, and functions and then performs their testing. After these activities, he gathers the next level of modules for integration testing. The given approach is good if all the modules (or nearly all of them) are ready. As well, the given approach helps to define the level of the app being ready, based on test results. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>#2. Top Down Integration.</i></b> At first, software dedicated tester checks all high-level modules and gradually adds low-level ones. All the modules of lower levels are simulated by plugs with the similar functionality, and then whenever they are ready, they are replaced with real active components. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><br /></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>#3. “Big Bang” Integration. </i></b>All or almost all of the developed modules are assembled together as a complete system or its main part, and then tester executes integration testing. This approach is time-saving. But if test cases and their results are recorded in incorrect way – the process of integration testing will be more complicated, and will be an obstacle for the test team in achieving the main goal of integration testing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When software testers or dedicated testing teams perform independent testing, they inevitably use test design. What is this? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Test design </i></b>– is the stage in the process of software testing service, based on which test cases are designed in accordance with the previously defined quality criteria and test goals. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Roles of Responsible for Test Design:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Test Analyst – defines “WHAT to test?”<br />- Test Designer – defines “HOW to test?”</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Test Design Techniques:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Equivalence Partitioning.</i></b> As an example, you have the range of valid values from 1 to 10, and you must choose the correct value within an interval of, let’s say 5, and one wrong value outside the interval - 0.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Boundary Value Analysis.</i></b> The given analysis can be applied to fields, records, files, or to any kind of entities with limitations.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Cause/Effect.</i></b> It’s, as a rule, the input of combinations of requirements (causes) in order to get the system response (effect). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Error Guessing.</i></b> It’s when test analyst uses his/her knowledge and skills for interpreting the specifications in order to “predict” the system crash caused by some input conditions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Exhaustive Testing</i></b> – it is an extreme case. Within this technique, you must check all the possible combinations of input values, and it should find any problems. In practice, this method is not possible, due to the vast amount of input values.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Treceability Matrix</i></b> - is a two-dimensional table, which contains the corresponded functional requirements of the product and prepared test cases. The given technique is used by QA engineers to validate the product tests coverage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There is also one relative methodology that is called <b><i>Bug Hunting</i></b>. In practice, this event is quite interesting and emotional. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Depending on the project, developed functionality and the number of developers in the team, the given event may be performed on the following scenario: </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Participation of all project team members (programmers, testers, managers, etc.). </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Creation of teams, where each one has members of different professions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each team has to validate a particular program functionality (interface, data storage, data processing, data transferring, performance and so on).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- There are deadlines for defect detection (4 hours, 8 working hours and so on).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- All the team members start validating one's functionality together. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- All the defects or wishes on improving the functionality are recorded.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Detected defects are described in details if it’s needed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each team represents all the detected defects on the general meeting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Defects from each team are shared in the document.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the event is finished, all the documentation with detected bugs is passed to the testers, who reproduce them & introduce relevant defects in the bug tracking system. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>There are some positive moments in the following type of team bug hunting: </i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The involvement of the entire team;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- "A fresh perspective" on the product;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
innovative approaches to verification;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Developers often confess about the defects, which they haven’t seen in the code, but none of them shared this information. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Error Guessing Technique</b> uses the tester’s experience in order to predict the place and type of defect occurrence in the system or in the system component. <b><i>Fault Attack</i></b> is the synonym to the given technique. This technique is used for defining the system quality and reliability, by means of attempts to cause certain failures. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on the project, there can also be some useful standardized and public testing methodologies as SUMI and WAMI. You can also compile a list of defects, which usually take place in the program. Tests and scenarios are created accordingly to these defects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Exploratory Testing Technique</b> is an informal method for designing tests and test scenarios. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This technique is used when the product doesn’t have requirements and documentation or limited time for testing. Tester checks the program and for statistics can record what tests were performed, and in the case of defect detection, tester creates the improved tests for more exhaustive program testing. In this method that is based on structure, interface, and program logic, one can and must use the earlier techniques. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This "surface" method can identify only a small percentage of the total number of defects in the product, and is commonly used as a supplement to formal methods.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This method is very close to <b><i>Ad Hoc Testing</i></b> method, which is also informal. There are no formal phases of preparation and prediction of expected results. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The name of the given method speaks for itself. <b>Experience Based Test Design Technique</b> doesn’t belong to formal methods. Decisions about what to check in the product are made by the tester based on his/her:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Knowledge of and experience with similar projects;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Knowledge of and experience with technology;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- General experience in testing;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Intuition;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Knowledge of the basic reasons for which programs do not work correctly;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Knowledge about possible defects and their distribution.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In addition to testers, customers, developers, end users, business analysts, and all interested in the project can participate in this testing method. Their knowledge and experience always help in directing testing efforts in the right direction for the definition of defects. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to make a decision, it is also very useful to have the information about already existing defects in the program. The main idea of this method lies in getting quick feedback on the quality of the program without the use of formal processes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tests and test scenarios are based on experience, and after their performance can be obtained by using metrics (created by tests, passed the tests, not passed tests, the number of defects found and their significance) the primary view about the quality of the project, as well as the "Pareto principle" identifies areas for further testing. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Structure Based Test Design Technique</b> has the synonym – <b>White-box Technique</b>, as we have access to the information in the form of a code about the software product structure. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This type of testing involves the development of tests or test scenarios based on the analysis of the internal component structure or the entire system. Tester has an access to the program code, analyzes it, and determines which parts of the software (variable, condition, function and so on), are necessary to validate and cover with a set of tests or test scenarios. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>There are Methods of Test Development Based on the Structure of the Software Product:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Statement Coverage Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Decision Coverage Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Condition Coverage Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If in <b>Black-box Method</b>, the functionality coverage based on requirements and available documentation, in the White-box method, testers operate the notion - <b>Code Coverage</b>. The magnitude of this level is calculated in percentage (%), and if code coverage reaches 100%, you must perform an additional <b>Coverage Analysis</b> of the code and create the appropriate missing tests or scenario.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Depending on the project type, quality requirements, available time for development and staff competence, testers create tests using one or several <b>Coverage Criteria</b>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Function coverage</i></b> determines whether or not each program function was executed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Statement coverage</i></b> determines the percentage of operators that were verified by tests and the total number of operators. Within this method, every line of code must be tested and implemented.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Decision coverage</i></b> - shows the percentage of results of alternatives or branches that have been performed by a set of tests. Branch is a result of the decision. The decision shall be taken when analyzing such operators as: IF condition, or DO-WHILE or REPEAT-UNTIL LOOPS, CASE. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>- Condition coverage</i></b> - shows the percentage of audited Boolean condition (True & False) for each individual condition due to tests. Measurement of conditions coverage is performed independently from each other.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b><i>Path coverage</i></b> – shows the percentage of paths or routes through part of the code, which was passed when you run your tests.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b><i>Entry/exit coverage</i></b> - shows the percentage that all possible challenges and refunds from the functions have been implemented or not. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to validate the functionality of the program, from <b>End User</b> point of view, testers create test cases based on the sequence of user operations. These cases display all user needs in maximum when working with a program, as well as real examples of interaction between the user and the product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This testing method is useful because testing happens not only for specific components but for the whole system. And quite often such behavior, which is impossible to imagine even on the basis of requirements and specifications.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Use Case Testing</b> is based on the creation of such cases, when after performing few steps, the user reaches a particular goal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For scripts execution, one often needs to perform at first certain <b>Preconditions</b>, without which the testing cannot begin. For example, certain programs are installed, input values are also prepared, the relationship between programs components are customized and so on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, after you run the test script, you must check the <b>Postconditions</b> (it’s such conditions and the state of the program that must be performed after the test script). For example, additional office files and <b>Test Logs</b> are generated, data is saved in the database, implemented the necessary scripts and so on. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Using this method, one can create Acceptance Tests when customers and the end users are in active cooperation with the team at this stage. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In a complex software product, trivial tests occur not so often, when one input parameter influences only one output value. For those cases, when there is a combination of input values and relevant output data, dedicated testers create a <b>Decision Table.</b> Based on the given table, testers design test scenarios, which validate in the complex the performance of the program functionality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One of the black-box methods gained the name <b>“Decision Table Testing”</b>. The given method is useful, when the analysis of requirements, specifications and business rules influences on interconnected logical conditions that depend on the combination of input and output data.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Decision Table Can be Formed on the Following Algorithm: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- For each business rule, the corresponding input & output data is chosen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each input value can be performed or not - the Trigger Principle.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each output value can or not be performed.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Depending on the combination of one or several executable/non-executable input values - one or several output values can be performed. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each column in the table corresponds to one business rule. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Each business rule is characterized by a unique input and output values. Based on performed results of all the conditions - this business rule takes place. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The given method can be implemented on every testing level, depending on a business rule and logical dependencies of the input and output data in the program.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to understand and use the given method, You should know the following terms: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>State Diagram</b> shows the conditions (that can be a component of a program or system) and situations or events that lead to a transition from one state to another. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>State Transition Testing</b> - is the kind of test development due to black box method, where tests or test scripts are created through the implementation of valid and invalid state transitions. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>N-Switching Testing</b> - is testing of the navigation tables, where tests or test scripts are created for executing all correct sequences of N +1 transitions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
N- Switching Testing of navigation tables shows the relationship between the states and inputs, as well as possible and impossible transitions between states. State transitions may be valid and invalid. Based on the algorithm and the rules, the system moves from one state to another, depending on the input.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Tests & Test Scenarios are Created for:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Covering the typical state sequences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Covering each state.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The performance of each transition.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The performance of special transition sequences.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Validation of incorrect transitions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This test method is often used when checking work algorithms of the navigation in Web sites, at ATMs, online stores, and so on.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This method can be applied at all levels of testing, depending on the rules and the program algorithm.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The given black box method uses <b><i>Boundary Values</i></b>. Input or output boundary value is on the edges of the selected equivalent area and, as a rule, are the minimum and maximum values of the area. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When performing <b><i>Boundary Value Analysis</i></b>, test or test scenarios are created based on the chosen boundary values for input or output data. The given method complements the equivalence partition method.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Boundary Value Method is Characterized by the Following Definitions:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Boundary values for "acceptable" equivalent area referred to as "permissible threshold values".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Boundary values for "unacceptable" equivalent area referred to as "Invalid threshold values".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Tests are developed to cover both the boundary values of the permissible and not permissible values.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>When Designing Tests by Means of This Method, Testers Use:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>3 Value Boundary Approach.</b> Boundary values are three numbers: boundary value itself and coming to him left and right, taking into account the multiplicity of values:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>with multiplicity equal to 1, for edge number 7, testers choose for the tests the number 6, 7 and 8;</li>
<li>with multiplicity equal to 0.1, for edge number 7, testers choose he numbers 6.9, 7 & 7.1.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
- <b>2 value Boundary Approach</b>. For the boundary value, testers pick up 2 numbers, taking into account the multiplicity; there are left hanging, or right hanging approach to border:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>with the left approach to the border and when multiplicity equal to 1, for edge number 7, tester chooses perimeter number 6 & 7 for tests;</li>
<li>with the right approach to the border and when multiplicity is equal to 1, for the edge number 7, testers choose 7& 8 numbers.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In practice, it is better to use an approach with three values at the border, because immediately achieved maximum coverage and defect are detected more often. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This method can be applied at all levels of testing, taking into account input and output criteria cover.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to understand the given method, at first, you should be familiar with the following terms. They are: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Equivalence Partition</i></b> – it is part of the area of input or output data, for which the execution behavior of a program's functionality will be the same.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Equivalence Partitioning</i></b> - is a kind of developing by means of black box method, with which tests or test scripts are created to validate elements of equivalent scope, and each area is covered by a test at least once.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In practice, this method is one from other test developing methods, which is based on the analysis of input and output data in the program and allows identifying the minimal amount of data values from the equivalent field that is enough to cover the functionality with a minimal test kit. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i>Equivalence Partition Method</i></b> performs its main function – reduces the number of tests, which can be executed and testers also can provide the information with a minimal data about the health of functionality.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When using this method, it is important to identify equivalent areas.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: red;"><b>NB!</b></span> When also using this method, it’s crucial to prevent Defect Masking, when one defect doesn’t let to detect the other one. If you need to verify some input parameters with the relevant equivalent areas, so it’s essential initially to verify each input parameter separately.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If one input parameter has a defect in data processing and introduces simultaneously two, three or more input parameters, the program will process the data and get the wrong result, allegedly due to already known defect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Although, it is often the presence of a defect and also when processing different input parameter.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This method can be applied at all levels of testing, taking into account input and output criteria for coverage.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
In this post and the next ones, we will study Specification-Based Test Design Techniques, their features and objectives. So, what are Specification-Based Test Design Techniques and with what to eat them? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dedicated testers also call them Black Box Technique and it can be used as a synonym. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This testing type, functional or non-functional, is performed:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Without knowledge of the internal structure of the component or the entire system.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Using analysis available on the project documentation and requirements for the software product being developed, taking into account the functional and non-functional aspects.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Using specifications to your developed product or model anticipated system.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Test and Test scenarios are created based on these criteria. There are methods of developing tests based on the following specifications:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Equivalence Partitioning.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Boundary Value Analysis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- State Transition Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Decision Table Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Use Case Testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This method can be applied at all levels of testing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All the programs are validated by means of various software testing services and there are lots of Test Design Techniques that are useful when you need to define necessary Test data and Test Conditions. The complexity of the developed software always increases, accordingly the number of tests also growths. These tests must be executed within a limited time conditions and human resources. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When selecting any software development model, fast and qualitative information from testers about the program health allows estimating the project/product risks and identify the direction in which you want to attach additional test efforts.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Three Categories of Test Development Methods for Software Product</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Specification Based Test Design Techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Structure Based Test Design Techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Experience Based Test Design Techniques.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Necessary Model or Its Combinations Testers Choose According to: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Complexity of the project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Type of system under development.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- SDLC.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Test levels.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Level of risk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Type of risk.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Documentation available.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Requirements (legislative, contractual, client) to the developed product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Testers’ knowledge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Time & budget.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Test objectives.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
At this point, software development with each passing day becomes more difficult to implement. In the process of the product creation, testers use the number of various technological combinations on different platforms and this multilateral dependence on many factors affect the development process. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ideally, tester must know how to use each technique. Depending on the objectives of the project, you must use each of them at the appropriate level of testing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Defect Management is the process of identification and recognition, research and elimination of incidents. Software testers together with other project members (developers and customers) conduct the logging of incidents (defects), their classification and determination of the degree of influence on the software product under development.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Defects can occur in different stages of SDLC and software testing services:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The stage of writing the requirements.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The stage of code writing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- When creating testing documentation (Test Plan, Test Design, Test Scenario).</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- When reviewing the developed product.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- In help documentation, user guide, installation guide and other documents. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All incidents (defects), after the identification, must be selected in the chosen project tool for management and monitoring. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Such instruments are: </b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Incident Management Tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Defect Tracking Tool.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Defect Management Tool.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The main tasks of such tools are:</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Recording and tracking the status of incidents.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Changes in their description.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Add files to them, through which they can reproduce.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Generating statistical data on their status in the form of reports.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Their distribution between the project participant (programmers and testers).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Bug Report</b> has the following structure and data (the content depends on the chosen tool):</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The date of defect occurrence.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Name of the company, organization or project.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Name of the person who found the defect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The title of the defect.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Steps or scenario of defect reproduction.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Expected and actual results.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Product Risks are directly related to the test object, and these risks directly associated with the quality of software product. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><b>Characteristics of poor product quality are:</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The program does not perform the functionality that was declared in the specification.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Software and equipment, which it serves, can cause damage to the person or company.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- Program unreliable from the point of view of its unexpected shutting down or rebooting.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- The program has a low level of reliability, performance, ease of use.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
- When processing or transmission information, it changes on the wrong algorithm, it can also be lost or transformed with the deviation from accepted standards.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are other problems connected with developed software product. Risk analysis in this direction allows determining in which direction and what functionality you must make a greater effort to test. In the case of a "pesticide paradox" or "defects clustering ", new tests or test scripts are updated or created for localization issues and to identify their causes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Testing helps to identify risks in the product, namely, defects or incorrect operation of the program. Measures were taken to reduce project risks (hotfix functionality or fixing) reduces the probability of their occurrence when the program will be used by the users.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Risks in the product can even be connected with the developers of the program. If the previous project developer made critical errors (this is confirmed by the collected metrics), then there is a high chance that this project and the developer can write a low-quality code. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps, such a developer needs to undergo some additional training on weak competence, or periodically analyzing a written code, before assembling the program. Testers also give more attention to functionality; a developer often makes mistakes.</div>
