How to Test JAVA Applications – Tips with Sample Test Cases (Part 1)

Testing JAVA Applications

In this tutorial, we will learn how to test Java Applications. You will see the components involved in a Java application and the types of testing that need to be carried out to ensure a high-quality, bug-free application.

We have created a three-part series on testing JAVA applications:

  1. In this article, we will learn the J2EE components and Manual testing approach for a J2EE application.
  2. Second, we will review the Automated testing approach for testing J2EE applications, and
  3. Lastly, we will review a comprehensive list of tools that are available for testing in J2EE applications.

Manual and Automation Testing Challenges

Manual and Automation Testing Challenges

Software Testing has a lot of challenges both Manual as well as Automation. Explore the various challenges that testers face in the workplace along with the ways to overcome them:

Generally in the Manual Testing scenario, developers go through the build to the test team assuming that the responsible test team or tester will pick the build and come to enquire what the build is about. This is the case in organizations that are not following so-called ‘Processes’.

Tester is the middleman between developing a team and the customers, handling pressure from both sides. We assume most of our readers are smart enough to handle this pressure. Aren’t you?

5 Steps to Transition from Manual to Automation Testing

Transition From Manual To Automation Testing

From designing a strategy to picking right solutions, here are 5 steps to transition from manual to automation testing successfully.

Automated tests can minimize regression bugs and overcome multiple manual testing challenges, enabling teams to deliver more qualified applications.

That’s why many teams are transitioning from manual to automated testing. However, this is not an easy task that can happen overnight.

From designing a strategy, acquiring the necessary knowledge and skillset, to picking the right testing tools, this blog explains in detail everything your team needs to prepare for a successful transition from manual testing to test automation.

Let us begin!!

How to Make Manual Testing More Efficient Using Micro Focus Sprinter

Manual Testing using HP Sprinter

In this article, we will see how to make manual testing more efficient using Micro Focus Sprinter. HP Quality Center / ALM has now changed to Micro Focus Quality Center / ALM. However, the content on the page is valid for the new Micro Focus domain and tools as well. 

In the era of Automation Testing, automation is the first preference in almost every QA testing department. However there are a few QA departments where 70-80% of testing is carried out manually. Indeed, there are cases where quality is completely determined in a manual way as no automation is carried out.

One of the crucial reasons for companies to continue with the manual test is the inability of automation tools to cope with the changes that some applications face on a regular basis. In certain cases, the only option left with QA is that of manual testing.

What Is End to End Testing: E2E Testing Framework with Examples

What Is End to End Testing

In this tutorial, we will learn what is End to End Testing, how it’s done, why it’s necessary, what are the matrices used, how to create an end to end specific test cases, as well as other important aspects. We will also learn about System testing and compare it with End to End tests.

End-to-end testing is a Software testing methodology to test an application flow from start to end. The purpose of end to end testing is to simulate the real user scenario and validate the system under test and its components for integration and data integrity.

Nobody wants to be known for their mistakes and their negligence, and the same is the case with the Testers. From the moment the Testers are assigned an application to test, they are responsible and the application also acts as a platform to show their practical and technical testing knowledge.

So, to ensure that testing is done completely, it is necessary to perform “End to End testing.

Test Scenario Vs Test Case: What Is The Difference Between These?

Test Scenario Vs Test Case

Difference Between Test Scenario Vs Test Case.

6 years ago, while working with a medium-sized MNC, when I suggested documenting test scenarios rather than wasting time on preparing the full proof document called test cases, all the heads turned to me in annoyance.

The look on the faces was clearly conveying that I made a big mistake by suggesting it. Although no one denied the idea no one even accepted. Everyone felt that following the tradition, i.e. writing test case documents, would be safer. I could not argue.

How to Write Test Cases: The Ultimate Guide with Examples

How to Write Test Cases: The Ultimate Guide with Examples

An intensive series of in-depth hands-on tutorials on Test Cases. Explore how to write Test Cases and understand their complete meaning with their standard definition and Test Case Design techniques:

What is a Test case?

A test case has components that describe input, action, and an expected response, to determine if a feature of an application works correctly.

A test case is a set of instructions on “HOW” to validate a particular test objective/target, which, when followed will tell us if the expected behavior of the system is satisfied or not.
