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.

How can Orthogonal Array Testing Strategy (OATS) help?


The data intensive test conditions can be optimized for better coverage and increased quality using Orthogonal Array Testing Strategy (OATS):

  • OATS is described as follows:

    • It is a systematic, statistical way to test pair-wise interactions, especially in data-intensive test conditions

    • It guarantees testing the pair-wise combinations of all the selected variables

    • It creates an efficient and concise test set with fewer test cases than testing all combinations of all variables

    • It creates a test set that has an even distribution of all pair-wise combinations

    • It exercises some of the complex combinations of all the variables

  • The benefits of OATS are as follows:

    • Technology and domain agnostic test case optimization helps in reducing testing efforts

    • It deploys pair-wise independent combinatorial testing algorithm to identify the optimized set of test cases

    • It provides flexibility to change the depth of the combinations and also enables to define business...
