Typically, during a test, participants will try to complete typical tasks while observers watch, listen and takes notes.  The goal is to identify any usability problems, collect qualitative and quantitative data and determine the participant’s satisfaction with theContinue reading “Usability Testing”

Things to remember for testing the Machine Learning programs

Introduction Machine Learning is growing every day in all sorts of areas and some examples are for e.g., voice recognition systems used by virtual personal assistants like Amazon Alexa or Google Home. As the field of ML continues to grow there needs to be more and more need for the quality assurance to make sure everything worksContinue reading “Things to remember for testing the Machine Learning programs”

Software Testing using AI and Machine Learning

These days Artificial intelligence and Machine learning is everywhere. People behind calls have been removed with Chatbots. Intelligent bots and programs are substituting humans everywhere. Computer-based intelligence procedures are influencing all parts of programming testing. Machine Learning (ML) is Subpart of AI. It depends on working with enormous datasets (Big Data), by social affairs, lookingContinue reading “Software Testing using AI and Machine Learning”

Tests that is hard to Be Automated

• Usability testing – “How easy is the application to use?” • One-time testing • “ASAP” testing – “We need to test NOW!” • Ad hoc/random testing – based on intuition and knowledge of application • Back-end testing Author Bio Shalu Chawla works in the field of Automation Engineer, QA Analyst and Business Analysis. ForContinue reading “Tests that is hard to Be Automated”

Tests that can be Automated!

• Tests that need to be run with every build of the application (sanity check, regression) • Tests that use multiple data values for the same actions (data driven tests) • Complex and time consuming tests • Tests requiring a great deal of precision • Tests involving many simple, repetitive steps • Testing needed onContinue reading “Tests that can be Automated!”

Quality Assurance Process

Quality assurance process has 4 steps: Plan Do Check Act Plan – Organization should design and set up the procedure related goals and decide the procedures that are required to convey an excellent final result. Do – Development and testing of Processes and furthermore “do” changes in the procedures Check – Monitoring of procedures, adjustContinue reading “Quality Assurance Process”

Scalability Testing

Scalability Testing measures the system at the minimum and maximum loads at all levels. Top 5 Attributes of Scalability Testing: Response time: It is the time between user request and the application response. Ideally, the response time should decrease as load increases. If an application can deliver the same response time for varying user load;Continue reading “Scalability Testing”

Software Testing

Software testing is a process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding the software bugs. It can also be stated as the process of validating and verifying that a software program or application or product: • Meets the business and technical requirements that guided it’s design and development • Works as expected Why doContinue reading “Software Testing”
