The Shift Left approach in testing emphasizes moving testing activities earlier in the software development lifecycle (SDLC). Traditionally, testing is performed after development is complete. However, with Shift Left, testing begins during earlier phases, such as requirements gathering and design. This approach aligns with modern methodologies like Agile and DevOps, aiming to catch defects sooner… Continue reading Shift Left approach in testing

Importance of Managing Test Effort Ensures Resource Optimization: Avoids over- or under-utilization of resources. Improves Efficiency: Ensures focus on value-adding tasks. Enhances Predictability: Helps meet project deadlines and budgets. Supports Quality Goals: Allocates sufficient effort to critical areas for better software quality. Proper planning and monitoring of test effort are crucial for achieving a balance… Continue reading Importance of Managing Test Effort

Factors Affecting Test Effort 1.Project Size and Complexity Larger or more complex systems require more extensive testing. 2.Quality of Requirements Poorly defined requirements increase testing effort due to ambiguities and rework. 3.Test Scope A broader test scope leads to higher effort. 4.Tools and Automation Automation reduces manual effort in execution but requires upfront investment in… Continue reading Factors Affecting Test Effort

1.Early Defect Detection Advantage: Identifies defects in requirements, design, or code before testing begins. Benefit: Reduces the cost and effort required to fix defects in later stages of development. 2. Cost and Time Savings Advantage: Catching and fixing issues early minimizes expensive rework and delays. Benefit: Accelerates development timelines and optimizes resources. 3. Improved Product… Continue reading advantages of review in testing

In software testing, reviews are a critical quality assurance activity used to identify defects, enhance understanding, and improve the quality of software deliverables. There are several types of reviews, each serving a specific purpose. Here are the common review types: 1. Formal Reviews Description: A structured and systematic process with well-defined roles and stages. Examples:… Continue reading reviews in testing

Shipping: Calculating costs for sea, air, and road freight. Warehousing: Determining the storage space required for goods. Logistics: Optimizing the number of items that can fit into containers or pallets. E-commerce: Estimating shipping charges for large or irregularly shaped products. CBM is a crucial metric for any business dealing with physical goods, as it directly… Continue reading Applications of CBM

Efficient Space Management: Helps optimize the use of storage and shipping containers by determining the exact space requirements. Accurate Cost Estimation: Shipping costs are often calculated based on volume (CBM) rather than weight, especially for lightweight but bulky items. CBM is essential for determining the volumetric weight, which impacts freight costs. Standardized Measurement: Provides a… Continue reading Advantages of CBM Calculation

CBM (Cubic Meter) is a metric used to measure the volume of a shipment. It is commonly used in logistics, shipping, and warehousing to calculate space requirements for storage or transportation. In NetSuite, CBM (Cubic Meter) calculation is typically used in the context of managing dimensions and volume for shipping, warehousing, or inventory purposes. While… Continue reading CBM Calculation

In NetSuite, Billable Group Items are a type of item used to group multiple items together and bill them as a single entity, particularly useful in service-oriented businesses or complex sales processes. They simplify transactions by aggregating related items and their pricing. Key Features of a Billable Group Item: Bundling: Allows combining multiple items (inventory,… Continue reading Billable Group Items

Structure of a Manual Test Script A well-structured test script includes several components to ensure completeness and clarity: Test Script ID: A unique identifier for tracking and referencing the script. Title: A brief description of what the test script covers. Objective: The goal or purpose of the script (e.g., “Verify user login functionality with valid… Continue reading Structure of a Manual Test Script
