Overview of QC Software testing is a process of verifying and validating that a software application or program – Software testing identifies important defects, flaws, or errors in the application code that must be fixed. – Quality Control is concerned with the software product being developed. It measures and controls the quality of the software as it is being developed. – Quality control system provides routine checks to ensure that the software is being developed correctly without errors. – The Quality Control system identifies and addresses product errors/defects. – Quality Control ensures that the final product is error free and satisfactory.

Why Testing? Find bugs as early as possible and make sure they get fixed. To understand the application well. Study the functionality in detail to find where the bugs are likely to occur. Study the code to ensure that each and every line of code is tested. Create test cases in such a way that testing is done to uncover the hidden bugs and also ensure that the software is usable and reliable.

♦ The Verification process refers to the set of activities that ensure that software correctly implements a specific function. ♦ The Validation process confirms that the software meets the business requirements. Or Refers to a different set of activities that ensure that the software that has been built is traceable to customer requirements ♦ A Defect is a variance between the expected and actual result. The defect’s ultimate source may be traced to a fault introduced in the specification, design, or development (coding) phases. Software testing: Main purposes

Scope of Testing 1.ACCESSIBILITY TESTING Scope of accessibility testing is to make website accessible to all disabled people. Objective of accessibility testing is to discover how easily people can use a web site and provide feedback for improving future designs and implementations. Check points for Accessibility Testing: Make sure that all functions are available via keyboard only (do not use mouse). Make sure that information is visible when display setting is changed to high contrast modes. Make sure that screen reading tools can read all the text available and every picture/image have corresponding alternate text associated with it. Make sure that product defined keyboard actions do not affect accessibility keyboard shortcuts.

Scope of Testing 2. Browser Compatibility Scope of cross browser testing is to check that how much an application is compatible, reliable and efficient on the Different browsers means that the application should be performing well on the different browsers. Check points for Browser Compatibility Testing: Broken links and unexpected http error codes Missing images and script errors Invalid ssl certificates, missing DNS entries and expired domains

Scope of Testing 3. Formatting Scope of formatting is to make the consistent flow throughout the website. Format of content should be consistent in whole website. Check points for Formatting: Apply heading styles to your document. Headings are required for screen readers to be able to read the document.

Voluntary: The usage of terms may refer to voluntary practices which can be adopted by a department if deemed suitable.

Scope of Testing 5. Functionality Testing Scope of functional testing is to ensure that each element of the application meets the functional requirements of the business. This testing proves that all areas of the system interface with each other correctly and that there are no gaps in the data flow. Check all the links: Test the outgoing links from all the pages from specific domain under test. Test all internal links. Test links jumping on the same pages.
