Today I got interesting question from reader, How testing is carried out in company i.e in practical environment? Those who get just out of college and start for searching the jobs have this curiosity, How would be the actual working environment in the companies?
Here I focus on software Testing actual working process in the companies. As of now I got good experience of software testing career and day to day testing activities. So I will try to share more practically rather than theoretically.
Whenever we get any new project there is initial project familiarity meeting. In this meeting we basically discuss on who is client? what is project duration and when is delivery? Who is involved in project i.e manager, Tech leads, QA leads, developers, testers etc etc..?
From the SRS (software requirement specification) project plan is developed. The responsibility of testers is to create software test plan from this SRS and project plan. Developers start coding from the design. The project work is devided into different modules and these project modules are distributed among the developers. In meantime testers responsibility is to create test scenario and write test cases according to assigned modules. We try to cover almost all the functional test cases from SRS. The data can be maintained manually in some excel test case templates or bug tracking tools.
When developers finish individual modules, those modules are assigned to testers. Smoke testing is performed on these modules and if they fail this test, modules are reassigned to respective developers for fix. For passed modules manual testing is carried out from the written test cases. If any bug is found that get assigned to module developer and get logged in bug tracking tool. On bug fix tester do bug verification and regression testing of all related modules. If bug passes the verification it is marked as verified and marked as closed. Otherwise above mentioned bug cycle gets repeated.(I will cover bug life cycle in other post)
Different tests are performed on individual modules and integration testing on module integration. These tests includes Compatibility testing i.e testing application on different hardware, OS versions, software platform, different browsers etc. Load and stress testing is also carried out according to SRS. Finally system testing is performed by creating virtual client environment. On passing all the test cases test report is prepared and decision is taken to release the product!
So this was a brief outline of process of project life cycle.
Here is detail of each step what testing exactly carried out in each software quality and testing life cycle specified by IEEE and ISO standards:
Review of the software requirement specifications
Objectives is set for the Major releases
Target Date planned for the Releases
Detailed Project Plan is build. This includes the decision on Design Specifications
Develop Test Plan based on Design Specifications
Test Plan : This includes Objectives, Methodology adopted while testing, Features to
be tested and not to be tested, risk criteria, testing schedule, multi-
platform support and the resource allocation for testing.

i would like to do one project in Testing can u suggest or guide me for that for my M.B.A
i would like to know more on what do you mean by smoke testing? is this the same as unit testing or just a run-through of the basic functions per module without exactly going through the test cases? thank you.
@ Priya- I will definitely guide. Is it part of your curriculum? So that project selection decision will depend on your M.B.A assignments. Let me know your exact requirement.
@Jhenz- Smoke testing is nothing but verify most crucial functionality is working not bothering about the detailed in-depth one. This word came from electronics i.e to check the appliances by switching on the power. Smoke testing is generally performed to check whether further testing can be carried out or not. Much like Sanity Testing!
Iam doing my MBA in correspondence they have asked me to do the project / Thesis…..coding is not that important….. as in M.B.A we don’t have praticals so on wht topic i can do the project for MBA in systems.
We can choose the topic for Assignment
wats diff between sanity testing n smoke testing??
@ Priya - Ok Priya I will suggest some related topic to your M.B.A by discussing with my MBA systems friends.
@ Padmini - Smoke testing is generally performed on any new build to test whether that build is stable to do further testing.
Sanity Testing is a part of regression testing which is performed on already developed and tested build which is again for testing for some minor changes. Sanity testing performed to check if no more issues are introduced in previous stable build. Here some core tests are executed like UI functionality, DB connection etc..
Hope this will answer your question.

can anyone help me for getting the job
please send me different types of test case format templates…
Hi Folks,
All you guys have mis-conception that Smoke and Sanity Testing are different. As such there is no difference between these two. Neither QAI nor ISTQB has differentiated the terms. Both are one and the same.

Hi all
Recently i completed the testing tools course, I am planning to attend the interviews, can u please help me what r the questions they will ask in manual, as well as in QTP. I don’t have any experience in real time. so who are working in testing field they already face some interviews, so please tell me what r the questions they will ask?
as a
How to read the system test plan effictively so that we can learn maximum test case’s.
I want to a complete document of QA process from SRS to delivery of product.
why 100% testing is not possible? Can u Give me Technical answer with Practical Example.
hello , i want bug defect template .
@ Gopi Krishna
Do u really stand by ur word “Neither QAI nor ISTQB has differentiated the terms. Both are one and the same”.
Could u pls confirm as u being a certified person need to clarify on ur stand. Could you be more precise. Better email me to zakir_24@yahoo.com
@Poornima
How to write testcases for regression testing?
Usually we don’t write any test cases while performing regression testing but we just execute all the test cases.
Regression testing is done on cases like 1)Any changes in the module, 2)change in requirement, 3)Changes in code after a bug is found and resolved 4)Patchup in the build. It is done to ensure changes do not affect the application in any way
@ Swetha
You can go ahead with the help option available in the QTP application. Trust me I’ve learnt QTP by this option only.
Hai
It is nice that you explained how testing goes in a company,but it would be more helpful for me if you can explain this with a real world example.Preferably on website application.
Thank You
Diva
That was a great article. thanx Man, and Keep the Good Work going.
Can u explain me the difference between smoke & sanity testing??
Hi Zakir,
I stand by my words.
Please refer to glossary of terms provided by ISTQB or QAI in their respective sites. You will find no difference. Every body has their own derived definitions but as such there is no difference.
Any one can tell the SITE ,from where i can get the crack version of QTP.

Dear Sir,
I(Subscriber) have seen your article. It’s useful for me and my career. I have some doubts about “The responsibility of testers(Testers,Are they Doing Test Plan?) is to create software test plan” in “What is actual testing process in practical or company environment?”. If am given an answer for this I shall be thankful to you. Am awaiting for your reply.

hi,
i m sheela working in a small concern as a tester. i m the only tester working in my company. recently i joined in this comapany as a fresher. i m into manual testing.
my problem is
1. here we have nearly 15 developers but i m only the tester. so we dont prepare test plan, etc.,
only i write test cases. will it be a problem for me when i try another job?
2. i m ineterested to learn automation tool. which one should i learn QTP or LOAD RUNNER.
please give me clear idea to my problem,
thanks in advance,
SHEELA. G
first tell me clearly which document you are using to write the test cases?
how you can brake the application code written by coders that is developers?
as a testers we must know the basic functionality of requirement ..then only we can able to test clearly as suggest by solution design document..ok
as per my understanding i can clear all your doubts….share this things all of your testing friends..find my mail id below

Hi Rahul,
I have created a sample of the testcase with some teststeps. This can help you to write the test steps with the necessary validations and steps mentioned in ur SRS.
Your test case can be as follows:
Test case ID Name Description Expected Result Actual Result
100A Log in Verify that the user is able to login the application Login successful
100B Account Id verification Verify that the user is able to enter the account number in the Account ID field The account ID is verified successfully
Verify that the user is able to enter HPIN (or any other verification code in the password like field) HPIN entered successfully
Account information displayed Verify that after entering the account number and HPIN, the user is able to go to the account information page. Account details page is displayed.
Hi Rahul,
I had created the testcase in the word document. But while posting the reply the message is all messed up in alignment. SO please read is as Testcase ID , Name, Description,Expected Result, Actual Result.
And the steps are:
100 A, Log in, Verify that the user is able to login the application,Login successful.
Hope this helps

what i have to study for automatic testing for web applications?
Hi Priya,
This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer i have mentioned difference between smoke and sanity as below:
SMOKE Vs SANITY
I have gathered a few points about the difference between smoke and sanity testing from the responses of two software testing groups. I have added the points below.
However, my experience of executing the Smoke and Sanity testing has been the following:
Smoke Test:
When a build is received, a smoke test is run to ascertain if the build is stable and it can be considered for further testing.
Smoke testing can be done for testing the stability of any interim build.
Smoke testing can be executed for platform qualification tests.
Sanity testing:
Once a new build is obtained with minor revisions, instead of doing a through regression, a sanity is performed so as to ascertain the build has indeed rectified the issues and no further issue has been introduced by the fixes. Its generally a subset of regression testing and a group of test cases are executed that are related with the changes made to the app.
Generally, when multiple cycles of testing are executed, sanity testing may be done during the later cycles after through regression cycles.
Smoke Sanity
1 Smoke testing originated in the hardware testing practice of turning on a new piece of hardware for the first time and considering it a success if it does not catch fire and smoke. In software industry, smoke testing is a shallow and wide approach whereby all areas of the application without getting into too deep, is tested. A sanity test is a narrow regression test that focuses on one or a few areas of functionality. Sanity testing is usually narrow and deep.
2 A smoke test is scripted–either using a written set of tests or an automated test A sanity test is usually unscripted.
3 A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the application in a cursory way. It’s is shallow and wide. A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the application is still working after a minor change.
4 Smoke testing will be conducted to ensure whether the most crucial functions of a program work, but not bothering with finer details. (Such as build verification). Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioning according to specifications. This level of testing is a subset of regression testing.
5 Smoke testing is normal health check up to a build of an application before taking it to testing in depth.
sanity testing is to verify whether requirements are met or not,
checking all features breadth-first.
Thanks,
Suresh Balakrishnan.

hi, everyone…
I have completed MBA (IT)with B. tech (ECE) and want to build carrer in Testing. Can u suggest me which type of testing I should learn….and is this the right field for MBA’s (IT)…and what are more perspectives in testing..
@Priyanka,
I think Priyanka you are not in a right path, you are Btech with MBA, defanitly you have bright future in other isolated as well as main stream technologies, if you are that much interested in testing then only you can go for testing without any testing knowledge, that is better otherwise they will squeeze while interview and try to get opportunity in automation testing like Rational Robot, QTP, VSTS,etc
Best Wishes…
hi, Vijay
ok …i have no idea about testing tools…but i want to go for black box testing..can u tell me from which tool i should start? and which tools i have to cover????

Hi all,
I have done my masters in psychology, but wanted to get into IT so did a course in testing, now can anybody help me to get through testing, what questions and how much preparation needed for getting a job. I know manual testing, but no automation tool, how to learn that, and specially test management tools like test director and quality center……
hi all,
can anybody help me in understanding integration testing, and the difference between system and integration, system and functional testing……
thanks
Hi shridevi ,
Integration testing :- It is a test to check whether all the modules are combined together or not and working successfully as specified in the requirement document. (Just for your information: Each developer works on different modules. When they finish their code, the configuration management team puts them together and prepares a build. We, as testers, need to make sure that these modules, which are now combined, work as per requirement document)
System testing :- When testers complete testing (The testers test the application in the test environments, meaning they test with the test data only, NOT with the real data), the application (software) has to be tested in the real environment. What it means is, since the testers test it in the test environment with the test data, we have to make sure that the application works well in the real environment with the real data. In test environment, some of the things cannot be simulated or tested. Al though the test environment is very similar to the production (real) environment, we need to make sure that we get a smooth delivery in the real system as well (As servers are different and database is different, things may not work as expected when the application is moved from test environment to production environment)
Functional testing :- It is a test to check whether each and every function of that application is working as per the requirement (remember this work “as per requirement document”-you must say this in the interview). It is a major test where 80% of the tests are done. In this test, the Test Cases are executed (or run).
System testing is Black-box type of testing that is based on overall requirements specifications. It covers all combined parts of the system.
Integration testing is the testing of combined parts of an application to determine if they function together corretly.
functionality testing checks whether the application works according to clients requiremnet or not. its a part of system testing

Hi All,
I have recently join in a small company as a Software Tester.Here I do manual testing but i dont have much idea about sanity & smoke testing so please guide me about that.
Tell me also that I write my bug report in simple Excel sheet but now i have to maintain some bug tracking tool,so any suggestion for which tool is good.
hi,
Can anyone tell me,what is this domain & is it necessary for testers to have domain knowledge as i do testing of online websites.
@vrushali
Hi friend. Both Smoke and Sanity is done to ensure the stability of the build.
Smoke testing is done to check whether the build is done properly and Sanity testing is done to check whether the build is Functioning properly. Not clear right, let me put up with an example,
Take for example a simple login page which has ‘username’ and ‘password’ input box and ‘ok’ and ‘cancel’ butons. Now here, Smoke testing is done like this, we simply check whether we cud able to hit the username and password inputboxes, OK and Cancel buttons and whether it is enabled.
Sanity testing is we give some values for the usename, password and perform one functional cycle to test the application. Hope this is clear.
To ur second question check with Bugzilla
cheers
zakir
Sanity is testing the stability of the build
Hi Guys…
Where does the term “Boundary Value Analysis” is used in Testing?
i have one doubt ,is there any different betwwen the sanity & smoke testing? we will do the testing once module will ready no need for waiting still projece get ready?please suggest me how to proceed both developement & testing at time is there any copy past appling are used like (testing server & development server) .please explain me how this process will going on.
hi friends
want to learn how to write test cases
can anybody help with some examples
Hi Shridevi mail me
Hi friends,
TestCase:
test case in software engineering is a set of conditions or variables under which a tester will determine if a
requirement or use case upon an application is partially or fully satisfied.
It may take many test cases to determine that a requirement is fully satisfied..
Or
Test case is a detailed procedure that fully tests a feature or an aspect of a feature.
Whereas the test plan describes what to test, a test case describes how to perform a particular test. You need to develop a test case for each test listed in the test plan.
Test case include:
purpose of the test.
•
Special hardware requirements, such as a modem.
•
Special software requirements, such as a tool.
•
Specific setup or configuration requirements.
•
A description of how to perform the test.
•
The expected results or success criteria for the test.
I want to ask about the difference between sanity & smoke testing ?

Hi Nagaveni,
Test Design refers to understanding the sources of test cases, test coverage, how to develop and document test cases, and how to build and maintain test data. There are 2 primary methods by which tests can be designed and they are:
- BLACK BOX
- WHITE BOX

can u give me some idea about the scope in this testing field? does it reqd. coding? And can u give me a good book to follow and i am already going for 1 month training from seed infotech
well there is lots of scope in testing field. For manual testing no coding is required but for automation u require some knowledge of coding like VB script for QTP specially.
you can follow Ron Patton and Gopalswamy for manual testing. Ron Patton is a good book for beginners, where as Gopalswamy is also a good book to go in depth of testing.
For automation u can go for Dr. K.V.K.K. Prasad.
