Software-Testing-Training-and-Placement

1. Introduction to Software Testing Software testing is a crucial step in the software development lifecycle, ensuring the quality and reliability of applications. This introductory section provides an overview of the fundamentals of software testing, highlighting its importance and the key principles involved.

2. Fundamentals of Software Testing Planning 1 Defining the test strategy, objectives, and scope based on project requirements. Design 2 Creating test cases and scenarios to cover various aspects of the software. Execution 3 Implementing the test cases and analyzing the results to identify defects.

3. Types of Software Testing Functional Testing Non-Functional Testing Specialized Testing Ensures the software meets the specified requirements and functions as expected. Evaluates the software's performance, security, usability, and other non-functional attributes. Includes testing for specific aspects like security, accessibility, and compatibility.

4. Manual Testing Techniques Exploratory Testing Smoke Testing 1 2 Discovering and testing software without pre-defined test cases, focusing on user experience. Verifying the basic functionality of a software build to ensure it's stable and ready for further testing. Regression Testing 3 Ensuring that new changes haven't broken existing functionality, by re-executing previous test cases.

5. Automated Testing Frameworks Selenium Appium JUnit/TestNG A popular open-source framework for automating web application testing across multiple browsers. An automated testing framework for mobile apps, supporting both Android and iOS platforms. Unit testing frameworks for Java that provide a structured approach to writing and executing tests.

6. Performance Testing Strategies Load Testing 1 Evaluating the software's behavior and responsiveness under normal and peak user loads. Stress Testing 2 Pushing the software to its limits to identify its breaking point and stability under extreme conditions. Scalability Testing 3 Assessing the software's ability to handle increasing amounts of users, data, or transactions without performance degradation.

7. Agile Testing Methodologies Scrum Kanban An agile framework that emphasizes iterative development, with frequent feedback and collaboration. A visual management system that focuses on continuous delivery and workflow optimization. Behavior-Driven Development (BDD) A test-driven approach that aligns development with business requirements and user stories.

8. Test Case Design Techniques Boundary Value Analysis Identifying test cases at the boundaries of input and output ranges. Decision Table Testing Capturing and testing all possible combinations of input conditions. Checklist-based Testing Using predefined checklists to ensure comprehensive test coverage.

9. Quality Assurance and Control Test Planning Defining the overall testing strategy, objectives, and resources. Quality Monitoring Tracking and reporting on the software's quality metrics and KPIs. Continuous Improvement Analyzing test results and feedback to enhance testing processes.

10. Software Testing Training and Placement Opportunities Manual Tester Responsible for executing test cases and reporting defects manually. Automation Engineer Develops and maintains automated testing frameworks and scripts. Performance Engineer Focuses on evaluating and improving the software's performance and scalability. Quality Assurance Manager Oversees the testing process, team, and ensures the overall quality of the software.
