TMMi Hungarian Local Chapter
May 26, 2021
We have experience with testing projects, both large and small. Sometimes our test estimates are accurate—and sometimes they’re not. We often miss deadlines because there are no defined criteria used to create our estimates. Sometimes we miss our schedules due to crunched testing timelines. Shyam Sunder briefly describes the different test estimation techniques including Simple, Medium, Complex; Top Down, Bottom Up; and Test Point Analysis. To assist in better estimating in the future, Shyam has prepared test estimation templates and guidelines, which can significantly help organizations in proper estimation of testing projects. Through his work, effort and schedule variations have significantly improved from ±60 percent to ±2 percent. Shyam explains the test estimation templates in detail and demonstrates how to choose the estimation templates for your organization’s software development process. Learn why effective software test estimation techniques help in tracking and controlling cost/effort overruns significantly.
In this article, we will talk about test cases and test scenarios. We will see their definitions and try to understand the differences between the two. These two are a part of software testing.
This document discusses software documentation testing. It notes that documentation has become a major part of software systems and testers must cover both code and documentation. Different types of documentation are described, from user manuals to help systems. The document provides a checklist for documentation testing, including checking that content is appropriate, terminology is suitable, and examples work as intended. It also discusses using tools to auto-generate documentation from source code comments.
This is chapter 5 of ISTQB Advance Test Manager certification. This presentation helps aspirants understand and prepare the content of the certification.
The document outlines the software testing life cycle (STLC) which is a systematic and planned process for testing software. The STLC includes requirement analysis to define what will be tested, test planning to identify activities, resources and schedules, test case development to detail test cases and data, test execution to run test cases and log results, and test cycle closure to generate reports and complete testing.
User acceptance testing (UAT) validates that a system meets user needs by determining if it fulfills business requirements, as opposed to quality assurance (QA) which verifies that a system meets its specifications. An effective UAT involves creating test cases from business requirements and processes, using a combination of requirements-based, process-based, and data-driven approaches, and systematically recording the test plan execution and results.
The document discusses test effort estimation which involves estimating the resources, time, and skills required to test a project. The test manager is typically responsible for test estimation. The steps include identifying components and test strategies, tasks, software size and complexity, and inputs to estimate test effort. The estimate is then used to prepare a test plan and validate the estimate after the project. Common techniques discussed are function point analysis, COCOMO model, and test point analysis.
This document provides a template for a software test plan, with guidance and examples for the typical sections included in a test plan. The sections covered include an introduction, scope, test plan identification, references, test items, features to be tested, testing approach, personnel, management and metrics, and estimation and scheduling.

Viewpoint-based Test Requirement Analysis Modelingand Test Architectural D...Yasuharu Nishi
This document describes a study that compared two approaches to test requirement analysis: condition-based modeling and viewpoint-based modeling using the Viewpoint-based Software Test Engineering Process (VSTeP). Two teams of test engineers analyzed requirements for testing a rice cooker manual - one team modeled test conditions while the other modeled test viewpoints and relationships. The viewpoint-based model uncovered fewer omitted test conditions. The results provide initial evidence that modeling test viewpoints may reduce omissions compared to just listing test conditions, suggesting viewpoint-based modeling supports a more thorough requirements analysis process.

Equivalence partinioning and boundary value analysisniharika5412
The document discusses different techniques for designing effective test cases, namely equivalence partitioning and boundary value analysis. It states that these are considered the best black box testing techniques. Equivalence partitioning involves dividing the input domain into equivalence classes and selecting one representative value from each class. Boundary value analysis focuses on testing values at the boundaries or extremes of the input domain, as errors often occur near these boundaries. Using both techniques together can help ensure an error-free product by comprehensively testing the input space.
