Risk Based Testing

Risk Based TestingRisk Based Testing is a method for prioritizing the tests based on the risk of their failure because tester cannot test everything within available resource. To use Risk Based Testing, we normally use following factor to prioritize tests: - Usage frequency. - Cost of failure. - Impact module from change. We should work closely with business and developer to get this information. We should do other testing techniques (e.g., black box testing technique, automation, regression testing) to optimize the cost of testing as the supplementary...

Test-Driven Development (TDD) in Agile

Test-Driven Development (TDD) in AgileTest-Driven Development (TDD) is a developer's process that focus on "Build the test first". First the developer creates the automated unit tests that defines a desired expectation of new function then produces code to pass that test. After that, developers refactor to optimize the code and then, retest it. Passing the tests confirms correct expected behavior as developers build and refactor the code. Test-Driven Development (TDD) process will help developers save their manpower for unit testing if they have...

Pair Testing in Agile

Pair Testing in AgilePair testing is a practice which two team members are sitting together to test the software application on the same machine. The two team members can be between one tester and developer/business analyst/another tester. My team has applied this practice and these are benefits that I have found from Pair Testing. 1. Developers will know how testers do software testing. So, developers can apply test strategy for their own testing during coding. 2. Testers will have more idea about...
