Jayant Deo asks:
“Looking at the current scenario from the industry it is seen that the testers are expected to have both technical testing skills as well either need to be from the domain background or have gathered domain knowledge mainly for BFSI is commonly seen.
I would like to know why and when is this domain knowledge imparted to the tester during the testing cycle?”
First of all I would like to introduce three dimensional testing career mentioned by Danny R. Faught. There are three categories of skill that need to be judged before hiring any software tester. What are those three skill categories?
1) Testing skill
2) Domain knowledge
3) Technical expertise.
No doubt that any tester should have the basic testing skills like Manual testing and Automation testing. Tester having the common sense can even find most of the obvious bugs in the software. Then would you say that this much testing is sufficient? Would you release the product on the basis of this much testing done? Certainly not. You will certainly have a product look by the domain expert before the product goes into the market.
While testing any application you should think like a end-user. But every human being has the limitations and one can’t be the expert in all of the three dimensions mentioned above. (If you are the experts in all of the above skills then please let me know ;-)) So you can’t assure that you can think 100% like how the end-user going to use your application. User who is going to use your application may be having a good understanding of the domain he is working on. You need to balance all these skill activities so that all product aspects will get addressed.
Nowadays you can see the professional being hired in different companies are more domain experts than having technical skills. Current software industry is also seeing a good trend that many professional developers and domain experts are moving into software testing.
We can observe one more reason why domain experts are most wanted! When you hire fresh engineers who are just out of college you cannot expect them to compete with the experienced professionals. Why? Because experienced professional certainly have the advantage of domain and testing experience and they have better understandings of different issues and can deliver the application better and faster.
Here are some of the examples where you can see the distinct edge of domain knowledge:
1) Mobile application testing.
2) Wireless application testing
3) VoIP applications
4) Protocol testing
5) Banking applications
6) Network testing
How will you test such applications without knowledge of specific domain? Are you going to test the BFSI applications (Banking, Financial Services and Insurance) just for UI or functionality or security or load or stress? You should know what are the user requirements in banking, working procedures, commerce background, exposure to brokerage etc and should test application accordingly, then only you can say that your testing is enough - Here comes the need of subject-matter experts.
Let’s take example of my current project: I am currently working on search engine application. Where I need to know the basic of search engine terminologies and concepts. Many times I see some other team tester’s asking me questions like what is ‘publishers’ and ‘advertisers’, what is the difference and what they do? Do you think they can test the application based on current online advertising and SEO? Certainly not. Unless and until they get well familiar with these terminologies and functionalities.
When I know the functional domain better I can better write and execute more test cases and can effectively simulate the end user actions which is distinctly a big advantage.
Here is the big list of the required testing knowledge:
- Testing skill
- Bug hunting skill
- Technical skill
- Domain knowledge
- Communication skill
- Automation skill
- Some programming skill
- Quick grasping
- Ability to Work under pressure …
That is going to be a huge list. So you will certainly say, do I need to have these many skills? Its’ depends on you. You can stick to one skill or can be expert in one skill and have good understanding of other skills or balanced approach of all the skills. This is the competitive market and you should definitely take advantage of it. Make sure to be expert in at least one domain before making any move.
What if you don’t have enough domain knowledge?
You will be posted on any project and company can assign any work to you. Then what if you don’t have enough domain knowledge of that project? You need to quickly grasp as many concepts as you can. Try to understand the product as if you are the customer and what customer will do with application. Visit the customer site if possible know how they work with the product, Read online resources about the domain you want to test the application, participate in events addressing on such domain, meet the domain experts. Or either company will provide all this in-house training before assigning any domain specific task to testers.
There is no specific stage where you need this domain knowledge. You need to apply your domain knowledge in each and every software testing life cycle.
If you are reading this article till this point then I would like to hear on which domain you are working on? So that our readers can get better idea of different domains and projects. Comment your domain below.
Update: As per the request from many readers I have updated our software testing resource page for the BFSI domain online documents and articles for downloads.

Hi swetha,
Verfication is the process of confirming that S/w meet is requirment.it is also called static testing technique Checking the SRS document,review the code..
Validation is the proecess of whether is saitisfies the user requirements.To check that what we requested that has been delivered
Hi Shahul Hameed,
what u told i accept stress testing how is reacts from the failure then tel me wt u mena recovery testing?
Hi David,
Recovery testing means how our application software
recovers from abnormalities like application crashes, Data Loss and other similar failures.
For Eg, Recovery testing on a TV means how it recovers from abnormalities like improper power supply, voltage problems,etc.
Whereas, Stress testing tries to break the system under test by overwhelming its resources or by taking resources away from it (in which case it is sometimes called negative testing). The main purpose behind this testing is to make sure that the system fails and recovers gracefully — this quality is known as Recoverability.
Hi Shahul Hameed,
Thank you
Hi Shahul Hameed,

Hi Jayant Deo,
Ur article is good and very useful. I want know how come a person get exprience (knowledge) in good domains unless he/she gets an opp. where he/she works. every one will not get chance to work on particular domain like banking/finance/telcom/network etc.
so one should look in to thier testing (manual/automation), communiction skills etc and not domain. they should be hired and trained inhouse to work on particular domain. then every one gets chance to come across these domain. if a person knows only erp / application domain and does not know the above mentioned and not hired because of domain knowledge how come he will come to know it. i faced this problem having good testing, comunication skills but not the domain. we cannot learn domain skills outside. we should get chance. then still i will be working on the same. person having alone will be going on. it is not good.
