Testing Practitioner Handbook

By: Renu Rajani

Overview of this book

The book is based on the author`s experience in leading and transforming large test engagements and architecting solutions for customer testing requirements/bids/problem areas. It targets the testing practitioner population and provides them with a single go-to place to find perspectives, practices, trends, tools, and solutions to test applications as they face the evolving digital world. This book is divided into five parts where each part explores different aspects of testing in the real world. The first module explains the various testing engagement models. You will then learn how to efficiently test code in different life cycles. The book discusses the different aspects of Quality Analysis consideration while testing social media, mobile, analytics, and the Cloud. In the last module, you will learn about futuristic technologies to test software. By the end of the book, you will understand the latest business and IT trends in digital transformation and learn the best practices to adopt for business assurance.

Challenges in H&LS applications testing


H&LS applications testing needs robust coverage and therefore has a need for optimization due to massive data and test conditions.

Large number of combinations of various parameters make it easy to miss a few critical data combinations.

Interaction and integration points as a major source of defects—most defects arise from simple pair-wise interactions.

Random selection of values create pair-wise combinations, which is bound to create inefficient test sets with random, senseless distribution of values.

Huge amount of effort with long testing cycles needed for exhaustive testing.

The H&LS industry faces fast changing regulatory compliance requirements such as the following:

  • Stringent regulatory compliance needs, emerging protocols, and global standards make software testing challenging and expensive for the H&LS industry

  • Time-bound upgrades for the software systems need to be carried out in a time-bound manner without compromising on patient...
