Key Features of Functional Test ToolsTools for functional test automation (such as QuickTest Pro from Mercury Interactive or e-Tester from Empirix) provide features that allow you create and run functional test scripts. These features include:
Test script recording. Rather than composing a script in a text editor, you start a recorder and perform a series of steps in the application. The test tool records the session in a script, which you can replay later to execute the test.
Automated test execution. Rather than manually performing the tasks in the test script each time, you start the test using a test tool and let it run on its own.
Data value parameterization. You can use variables in your test script that pull in data values from an external table during test execution. This allows you to avoid hard-coding data values into a test script.
Reusable tests. Multiple testers can share tests across multiple cycles of application testing. Result tracking. The test tool records important statistics that allow you to identify functional errors.
Not all functional test automation tools have all of these features, and some have more. For more information on available features, refer to the documentation for your testing tool. |
Types of RequirementsA condition or capability needed by a stakeholder to solve a problem or achieve an objective. A condition or capability that must be met or possessed by a system or system component to satisfy a contract, standard, specification, or other formally imposed documents. A documented representation of a condition or capability as in (1) or (2). Business Requirements - Are higher-level statements of the goals, objectives, or needs of the enterprise. They describe such things the reasons why a project is initiated, the things that the project will achieve, and the metrics which will be used to measure its success. User Requirements - Are statements of the needs of a particular stakeholder or class of stakeholders. They describe the needs that a given stakeholder has and how that stakeholder will interact with a solution. User Requirements serve as a bridge between Business Requirements and the various classes of solution requirements. Functional Requirements - Describe the behavior and information that the solution will manage. They describe capabilities the system will be able to perform in terms of behaviors or operations – a specific system action or response. Quality of Service Requirements - Capture conditions that do not directly relate to the behavior or functionality of the solution, but rather describe environmental conditions under which the solution must remain effective or qualities that the systems must have. They are also known as non-functional or supplementary requirements. Assumptions and constraints - Identify aspects of the problem domain that are not functional requirements of a solution, and will limit or impact the design of the solution. Implementation requirements - Describe capabilities that the solution must have in order to facilitate transition from the current state of the enterprise to the desired future state, but that will not be needed once that transition is complete. |
Software Testing Terms and Meaning - Part 7Technical Requirements Testing Testing of those requirements that do not relate to functionality. i.e. performance, usability, etc. Test Approach
The implementation of the test strategy for a specific project. It typically includes the decisions made that follow based on the (test) project's goal and the risk assessment carried out, starting points regarding the test process, the test design techniques to be applied, exit criteria and test types to be performed Test Automation
Test automation is the use of software to control the execution of tests, the comparison of actual outcomes to predicted outcomes, the setting up of test preconditions, and other test control and test reporting functions. Test Bed

A formal test cycle consists of all tests performed. In software development, it can consist of, for example, the following tests: unit/component testing, integration testing, system testing, user acceptance testing and the code inspection. Test Data
The definition (usually formal) of a collection of test input values that are consumed during the execution of a test, and expected results referenced for comparative purposes Test Driven Development
Test-driven development (TDD) is a Computer programming technique that involves writing tests first and then implementing the code to make them pass. The goal of test-driven development is to achieve rapid feedback and implements the "illustrate the main line" approach to constructing a program. This technique is heavily emphasized in Extreme Programming. Test Driver
A program or test tool used to execute a tests. Also known as a Test Harness Test Environment

A unit test is a procedure used to verify that a particular module of source code is working properly Usability Testing
Usability testing is a means for measuring how well people can use some human-made object (such as a web page, a computer interface, a document, or a device) for its intended purpose, i.e. usability testing measures the usability of the object. If usability testing uncovers difficulties, such as people having difficulty understanding instructions, manipulating parts, or interpreting feedback, then developers should improve the design and test it again Use case testing
A black box test design technique in which test cases are designed to execute user scenarios Validation
The word validation has several related meanings:* In general, validation is the process of checking if something satisfies a certain criterion. Examples would be: checking if a statement is true, if an appliance works as intended, if a computer system is secure, or if computer data is compliant with an open standard. This should not be confused with verification. Verification
In the context of hardware and software systems,formal verification is the act ofproving or disproving the correctness of a systemwith respect to a certain formal specification or property,using formal methods. Volume Testing

When defined in collaboration with experienced users, soap operas help to test many functional aspects of a system quickly and-because they are not related directly to either the systems formal specifications, or to the systems features-they have a high rate of success in revealing important yet often unanticipated problems. - Software Quality Assurance
Software testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software. Actually, testing can never establish the correctness of computer software, as this can only be done by formal verification (and only when there is no mistake in the formal verification process).

Software Testing Terms and Meaning - Part 5 Software Testing Terms and Meaning - Part 5 - Gamma Testing
Gamma testing is a little-known informal phrase that refers derisively to the release of "buggy" (defect-ridden) products. It is not a term of art among testers, but rather an example of referential humor. Cynics have referred to all software releases as "gamma testing" since defects are found in almost all commercial, commodity and publicly available software eventually. - Gorilla Testing

Testing which covers all combinations of input values and preconditions for an element of the software under test - Exploratory Testing
This technique for testing computer software does not require significant advanced planning and is tolerant of limited documentation for the target-of-test. Instead, the technique relies mainly on the skill and knowledge of the tester to guide the testing, and uses an active feedback loop to guide and calibrate the effort. It is also known as ad hoc testing - Failure
The inability of a system or component to perform its required functions within specified performance requirements. A failure is characterized by the observable symptoms of one or more defects that have a root cause in one or more faults. - Fault
An accidental condition that causes the failure of a component in the implementation model to perform its required behavior. A fault is the root cause of one or more defects identified by observing one or more failures. - Fuzz Testing
Fuzz testing is a software testing technique. The basic idea is to attach the inputs of a program to a source of random data. If the program fails (for example, by crashing, or by failing built-in code assertions), then there are defects to correct.The great advantage of fuzz testing is that the test design is extremely simple, and free of preconceptions about system behavior.

Conformance testing or type testing is testing to determine whether a system meets some specified standard. To aid in this, many test procedures and test setups have been developed, either by the standard's maintainers or external organizations, specifically for testing conformance to standards. Conformance testing is often performed by external organizations, sometimes the standards body itself, to give greater guarantees of compliance. Products tested in such a manner are then advertised as being certified by that external organization as complying with the standard
