Testing the smartest way - What needs to be considered

Manual testing is still an open option: In past decade, the IT industry has witnessed a tremendous changed within itself due to a lots of triggering factors. Penitration of mobile networks and mobile internet, huge acceptance of smart phones and tablets in the industry has been triggering the changes in the IT industry. Previously it was mostly dominated by desktop applications. But now the web applications have taken over the place. In this changing environment different processes of a software development life cycle has been changed.

Industry has seen an overnight popularity of automation testing tools over the manual in past few years. Still there is a lot of potential for the manual testers in the industry in certain circumstances and requirements. Experts believe that testing is incomplete without manual testing even though you are using automation testing tools. Understanding the importance of manual testing, today we will discuss about few tips for the testers for better productivity.

Validate properly: While dealing with web applications, we usually find a large number of fields in the application like text field, numeric field, text area. As a tester it is your duty to check and every tiny components of the application thoroughly to validate each and every field of your application. You must ensure all the fields are validated properly both in frontend as well as backend application.

Check the outputs thoroughly: Well sometimes testers miss to check the output of all functions thoroughly. This is due to careless behaviour or may be over confidence of the tester. Anyway, you must overcome the obstacle and test the application thoroughly in order to prevent future problems arise due to bugs.

Negative testing can give you better output: Negative testing means the testers need to check the functionality of a module through different wrong entries. This is a smarter way to test the reliability of a module. Suppose there is a function for division purpose. Then as a smart tester you should put zero on the denominator to test if it is giving proper exception or not. For every exception there must be a handler to deal the same.

If you are a developer, don’t test your code: When a developer develops an application he has the in depth knowledge of the application. As a result he never finds it difficult to browse his own application. Hence he could not find the bugs and uncomfortable experience during the browsing process. On the contrary, when the application is projected to the end user who is totally unaware about the background processes of the application and hence he will get an unpleasant experience during the browsing process. Hence it is advised to avoid testing your own code at any cost to prevent the human errors.

Well it is really next to impossible to get a hundred percent perfect output from any tester; but still we live on hopes and we have to; because we don’t have any other option in our hand.
