0HI All
Thist Text lesson is to brief you about manual Testing.
Before knowing what is manual testing, will know what is testing first then what is software and then what is softwere testing. ok.
What is testing?
In general, testing is a process to know something is working or not.In simple testing is "checking something is working or not"
Now we knew what is Testing, we can easily guess what is manual testing right..!
what is manual tesing?
testing something is working or not manually(... manually means doing by hand but not by machine)
Now we got to know what is manual testing..! right.
Ok fine, what we are going to test in realtime(or in company), we are going to test software.
what is software?
software is a code which is designed to perform some task.
here you may ask what is code and what we are going to do with it and why we are talking about it, how it is related to manual testing.
Code is a collection of instructions [ instruction - commands that we pass to computer].
this collection of instructions/code which developed for a specific task is wrapped up with UI design[website] this website we call as a software.
and this software we have to test as part of realtime,and this testing or process of testing software manually inorder to know whether it is working or not is called manual softwere testing.
guys now we undestood what is testing and what is manual testing and what we are gonna test as part of s/w testing and what is software and what is manual software testing.
in other words software can be product or project.in real time we test project or product based on the company requirement.
you may ask what is project and what is product.
project or product both are the applications, the application which is developed for all the users[means can be used by any users like microsoft products[excel/outlook..] and the project is something that is developed for specific users[Hdfc bank application - can only use customers of hdfc bank.
as part of manual testing, we said will be going to test an application, if we discuss bit step down we are going to test the functionality of an application or non functional aspects of application.
here we are saying functional/non function right, yes as part of testing tester can test functional or non functional aspects of application.
when we say functional aspects - testing functional behaviour of the application for example 'login' means - its one functionality where we test the login screen of an application in this screen we enter username,password and will click on login button right when we do this how the application is behaving whether it is accepting and letting us to login into the system or its not accpting the credentials/username and password and not allowing us to enter into the application this is known as functional behaviour of the application, and this is called as a functional testing.
testing nonfunctional aspects like load,streass,security behaviour of the applicaion is called non functional testing.
thease functional and non functional testings are the main categories of testing.
ok,we got to know
1.what is testing?
2.what is manual testing?
3.what is software/code/application?
4.what is functional and non functiona testing?
5.what are the main categories of software testing?
ok will discuss in next class how and on what basis the application can be tested, what is stlc,what is sdlc and how many types of tastings are there.
Thanks guys.
