: The actual execution of code to verify functional and non-functional requirements. This includes Black-box Testing (focusing on inputs/outputs) and White-box Testing (focusing on internal logic/code structure). Specialized Testing Environments
| Pitfall | Problem | Naresh Solution | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | Testers have no basis to design cases. | Use exploratory testing and collaborate with BAs via reviews. | | Ignoring Regression | Old features break after new code is added. | Maintain a prioritized regression suite (manual + automated). | | Testing as a Bottleneck | QA team finds defects too late in the cycle. | Shift-left: involve QA in requirements and design phases. | | Poor Defect Reporting | Developers cannot reproduce bugs, leading to delays. | Standardized defect template with logs and screenshots. | --- Software Testing Principles And Practices By Naresh
: Repeating the same tests will eventually fail to find new bugs; test cases must be regularly reviewed and updated. Key Methodologies and Techniques : The actual execution of code to verify
These are the 7+ principles stressed in the lectures: | Use exploratory testing and collaborate with BAs
