Your test strategy completely depends on the testing needs of an application; primarily, the risk class of each requirement. For example, if the requirement is to verify whether an application can process requests from 1,000 users accessing the application concurrently, then we need to add performance testing to our testing strategy. We can perform stress testing by discovering the breakpoint above the permitted threshold as a part of our test strategy. We can also perform load testing by analyzing the performance of the application based on the permissible user limits hitting the application concurrently. We can also measure the response time of an application in order to render all the page components/objects with the different load ranges.
Let’s understand the process of creating a test strategy to test a banking application. This is a four step process:
- Map characteristics such as functionality and usability, as we saw in Chapter 1, An Overview...
