Day 1: 

Met my lovely classmates  and  our week 1 to 3 teacher Galen Yang. He has a 10 years experience in testing.


Task 1 : Define the following




       a. What is a client and a server?

In testing, client is the one sending the request going to the server/web application.
A server is where the web/ desktop application is residing or installed. 




       b. What is cloud based software?


A cloud base software is basically  an application residing or installed  on the cloud.
Example of cloud : Azure , AWS , Google





       c. What are the different environments in a software development team?

Usually there are 3 environment in software develop. 
1. Dev Environment - This environment is solely use by developers. This is were the codes is saved/residing.
2. test  Environment - this environment is solely use by Tester, where they  going to test the application made  by developers.
3. Production Environment  - this environment usually being use by clients, stakeholders and users. Usually for business use.





       d. Why does production and test environment have to be similar?

A test environment allows software developers to check how a code/program will behave in a live environment. The testing environment should closely resemble the production environment since it is one of the last safe places to find and fix environment-related bugs before moving into production.



       f. What is a use case?

A use case is a written description of how users will perform tasks on your website.  It outlines, from a user’s point of view, a system’s behavior as it responds to a request. Each use case is represented as a sequence of simple steps, beginning with a user's goal and ending when that goal is fulfilled.






       g. What is the purpose of a QA engineer in a software development team?


Quality assurance is a key element of the software development process. The primary goal of QA in software development is delivering a product that matches all the client requirements, be it functional or related to user experience.

Day 2.2 : What is STLC

What is STLC STLC stands for Software Testing Life Cycle . STLC is a sequence of different activities performed by the testing team to ensure the quality of the software or the product. STLC is an integral part of Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). But, STLC deals only with the testing phases. STLC starts as soon as requirements are defined or SRD (Software Requirement Document) is shared by stakeholders. STLC provides a step-by-step process to ensure quality software. In the early stage of STLC, while the software or the product is developing, the tester can analyze and define the scope of testing, entry and exit criteria and also the Test Cases. It helps to reduce the test cycle time along with better quality. As soon as the development phase is over, the testers are ready with test cases and start with execution. This helps to find bugs in the initial phase. STLC Phases STLC has the following different phases but it is not mandatory to follow all phases. Phases are dependent on...

Image
What is SDLC?  Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a process used by the software industry to design, develop and test high quality softwares. The SDLC aims to produce a high-quality software that meets or exceeds customer expectations, reaches completion within times and cost estimates. SDLC is the acronym of Software Development Life Cycle. It is also called as Software Development Process. SDLC is a framework defining tasks performed at each step in the software development process. ISO/IEC 12207 is an international standard for software life-cycle processes. It aims to be the standard that defines all the tasks required for developing and maintaining software. SDLC is a process followed for a software project, within a software organisation. It consists of a detailed plan describing how to develop, maintain, replace and alter or enhance specific software. The life cycle defines a methodology for improving the quality of software and the overall development process. The ...
