Test Execution
- Preparation for Test Execution
- Test Environment setup :
- Configuration : Ensure that the test enviroment is set up with necesssary hardware , software and network configurations.
- Data Preparation : Prepare and configure test data according to the test cases. This might involve setting up databases , user accounts , or other test - specific configurations.
- Test Case Review :
- Verify Test Cases : Ensure that all test cases are reviewed and finalized. verify that they are complete , accurate , and up-to- date with the latest requirements.
- Test Tools :
- Verify Tool Availability : Ensure that all test automation tools or other testing tools other testing tools required are available and properly configured.
- Automation Scripts : Ensure that automated test scripts are updated and ready to execute if automation is part of strategy.
- Executing the Test cases
- Manual Testing:
- Follow Test Scripts : Execute the test cases manually according to the predefined steps.
- Record Results : Document the actual results compared to the expected results . note any discrepancies or issues.
- Report Issues : Log any defects or issues identified during testing in to a defect tracking system with detailed information.
- Automated Testing:
- Run Test Scripts : Execute automated test scripts as per the schedule or as needed.
- monitor Execution :Monitor the Execution process to ensure that it runs smoothly and accurately.
- review results : Analyze the results of the automated tests and review any failed test cases or errors.
- Performance Testing:
- Load Testing : Test how the system performs under expected load conditions.
- stress Testing : Evaluate the system's performance under extreme conditions.
- Analyze Metrics : Collect and analyze performance metrics such ass reponse time , throughput and resource utilization.
- Post-Execution Activities
- Defect Management:
- Defect Logging : Log defects in the defect tracking system with detailed steps to reproduce, screenshots and other relevant information.
- Defect Triage : Prioritize and categorize defects based on their severity and impacts.
- Defect Resolution :work with the developemt team to fix the defects and retest once resolved.
- Test Results Documentation:
- Test Execution Report :Prepare reports summarizing the test execution results , including passed , failed and skipped test cases.
- Test Matrics :Document Key matrics such as test coverage , defect density and execution time .
- Test closure:
- Test summary Report : Create a test summary report outlining the overall testing status , major issues and test coverage.
- Lessons Learned :Conduct a retrospective to discuss what went well , what didn't and areas for improvement in future test executions.
- Feedback Loop:
- Continuous Improvement : Provide Feedback to the development and testing teams based on the test execution results.
- update Test Cases : Modify and improve test cases based on the defects found and changes in requirements.
- Best Practices for Test Execution
- Accuracy: Document test results and defects with high accuracy to facilitate effective issue resolutions.
- consistency:Follow the test execution plan meticulously to ensure consistency across tests.
- Collaboration: maintain clear communication with development and other stakeholders to addres issues quickly.
- Automation: Leverage automation where applicable to increase efficiency and coverage, especially for repetitive and regression tests.
- Reqular Reviews : Periodically review test execution processes and results to refine strategies and improve test quality.
- Tools for Test Execution
- Manual Testing Tools : JIRA , TestRail , Zephyr.
- Automated Testing Tools : Selenium , QTP/UFT , Junit , TestNG
- Performance Testing Tools :JMeter, LoadRunner, Getling.
