Stubs: What are they?: Stubs are like placeholders or stand-ins for modules or components that aren’t ready yet. They mimic the behavior of lower-level modules that higher-level modules depend on. When are they used?: They’re typically used in a testing approach called top-down integration testing. This means you’re starting with the main parts of your… Continue reading Difference Between Stubs and Drivers

Use Case and Test Case are both integral components of software development and testing processes, but they serve different purposes and focus on different aspects of the software lifecycle. Here’s a breakdown of each: Use Case: Purpose: A Use Case describes how a system will be used to achieve a specific goal or objective from… Continue reading Use case VS Test Case

Test Plan and Test Strategy are both essential components of software testing, but they serve different purposes and cover distinct aspects of the testing process. Here’s a breakdown of each: Test Plan: Purpose: A Test Plan outlines the approach to be used for testing a software application. It provides detailed information on how testing will… Continue reading Test Plan VS. Test Strategy

Recovery testing is a type of software testing that assesses how well a system can recover from failures, crashes, or other unexpected incidents. The primary goal of recovery testing is to ensure that a system can resume normal operations with minimal or no data loss after encountering an adverse event. Here’s an overview of the… Continue reading Recovery testing

Managing test activities involves planning, coordinating, executing, and monitoring various tasks and processes to ensure that software testing activities are conducted effectively and efficiently. Here’s a structured approach to managing test activities: Test Planning: Define test objectives, scope, and strategy based on project requirements and constraints. Identify test resources, including human resources, tools, and infrastructure.… Continue reading Managing the Test Activities

In software testing, the International Software Testing Qualifications Board (ISTQB) defines various types of reviews as part of its standard glossary of testing terms. Here’s a brief overview of some of the common review types according to ISTQB: Informal Review: Also known as a ‘buddy review’ or ‘desk check,’ informal reviews are conducted without a… Continue reading Review Types

SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) and STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle) are two distinct but interrelated processes in the field of software development. Let’s explore the key differences between SDLC and STLC: Purpose: SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle): Focuses on the entire software development process, from initial planning and requirements gathering to coding, testing, deployment,… Continue reading SDLC and STLC
