While performing Black box testing, the tester does not require the knowledge of coding. Tester simply tests the software by inputting the data and then checks the output. White box testing or code-driven testing requires code knowledge. Knowing various programming concepts like C, C#, C++, RDBMS concept, etc.
Build a Complete Test Strategy. Start with a detailed test strategy to determine the types of tests that you need to perform to perfect the application. Try to Include Think Time in Testing. Identify the Performance Bottleneck. Learn from Earlier Experiences. Emphasize on Baseline Tests.
Requirements testing is done to clarify whether project requirements are feasible or not in terms of time, resources and budget. Many bugs emerge in software because of incompleteness, inaccuracy and ambiguities in functional requirements.
Performance requirements typically comprise a set of criteria which stipulate how things should perform or the standards that they must achieve in a specific set of circumstances. This is as opposed to prescriptive specifications which set out in precise detail how something should be done.
Determine a suitable software candidate; clarify performance goals; create meaningful test cases; use suitable performance testing tools; and. mimic the production environment.
Performance Testing is a software testing process used for testing the speed, response time, stability, reliability, scalability and resource usage of a software application under particular workload. It is a subset of performance engineering and also known as Perf Testing.
Speed It determines whether the application responds quickly. Scalability It determines maximum user load the software application can handle. Stability It determines if the application is stable under varying loads.
Load testing is one of the simplest forms of performance testing and is usually conducted to understand the behaviour of the system under a specific expected load, for example, the amount of concurrent users on the application performing a specific number of functions within a set duration.
The type of the test to be executed (Load/Stress etc) The load profile/load model should be agreed for each test type (ramp-up/down, steps etc) Incorporate think time into the scenarios.
