Explanation of testing process

Analyze the requirement and understand the business

Once the project is finalized and product description documentation are in completion stage, development environment ready and developments starting stage, then get the approved product description document and knowledge transfer from business analyst. Testing should be planned well in this stage.

Define the process and create the team functionality diagram

Once the product description document is ready and knowledge is transferred to testing team. Then define the process lets divide like

Preparing test case documents

At this stage, all functionalities, work flow, Logic, Positive and negative testcases to be discussed and documented. Keeping testcases in testcase management software would be good. Testcases should cover all positive and negative testcases in all level like boundary value, bottom up, etc. Testcase matrix should be prepared and discussed in clear way. Once the testcase document is ready, it should go for manager approval. When writing the testcase, start listing the test data required to run the particular test.

Technical automation testing setup

Have to install the separate application under test with default or testing support data. When having the separate application for automation testing, the configuration would be default or defined static for automation testing. Install and configure the testing tool and keep it ready for test execution. There is two part in automation testing setup. Test case development setup and execution setup. Once the testscript is developed and approved. It should moved to test execution environment.

Define the automation setup and document how it works. What are all the software, tools required in script development environment. Where we are maintaining the script development setup. Whether it is developed in one site and from many sites. Where the application server, database and related software installed. What are all the technologies involved in the application front end. These kind of information should be documented and the setup diagram and working functionality clearly draw.
