Tips and Strategies for software testing services

Testing Software Services: The Best Strategies

Some of the best practices for software testers:

1) The test results need to be analyzed thoroughly and should not be ignored. Troubleshooting the failed attempts are crucial too as it might lead to eventual success. Also providing solutions to bugs which are stored in logs is also important.

2) It is helpful to maximize the test coverage while on a test while providing software testing services to a client.

3) For ensuring maximum test coverage in software application testing, using application under test (AUT) for breaking into smaller functional modules is useful. Break them in to smaller parts if possible, and write test cases for these modules.

4) It is beneficial to write test cases for intended functionality i.e. for valid conditions first and then invalid conditions.

5) Be positive in finding out bugs in the program. Don't take it beforehand that the program is free from bugs. Go with the intention and one might even find the subtle mistakes which could have been overlooked.

6) Write your test cases in requirement analysis and design phase itself. This way you can ensure all the requirements are testable.

7) After requirement testing, try to do some negative software testing on the application that is for what it is not supposed to do.

8) Always note down the new terms while conducting tests of an application and during the creation of the final test release report.

9) Keep developers away from test environment to detect any possible configuration changes which might get missed in the release or deployment document.
