Basic knowledge about web helps a tester lot be a good Web Tester. We everyday browse many web pages but we hardly looks how they are created. The World Wide Web is a way of exchanging information between computers on the Internet Many technologies, protocols, servers and other components are involved to develop a Web application.

Severity is about the technical impact of a defect. Priority is about the urgency of the fix. Important is that severity is one of the factors influencing priority and that only priority should be used to decide what to fix next . For example, your project may have a policy to fix higher priority bugs p1 before fixing lower (p2 to 4); or to block the release of a product that has open, unfixed p1

Bug life cycle starts when a bug is found by a tester. After that a tester has to do several things in different point of times.The very first things to do before logging a bug is to make sure that this issue has already been identified or not. Simply, searching on bug storing database for similar issue. If bug is already has been entered; make sure it is still active and scenario is same that

What web protocol is ? When two or more computers communicate in Internet , they must have a common way in which to communicate. They use protocol to do it. Simply, protocol is an agreement by which two or more computers can communicate. TCP/IP :  Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol(TCP/IP) is set of Internet communication protocol. Transfer Control Protocol (TCP) breaks data into

Testing Techniques can be divided into following Specification-based - black-box techniques Structure-based - white-box techniquesExperience-based techniques White-box techniques (Structure Based):This is a software testing technique whereby explicit knowledge of the internal workings of the item being tested is used to select the test data. Unlike black box testing, white box testing uses

Test planning is the activities of identifying and designing the testing process.  The planning phase provides an opportunity for the tester to determine what to test and how to test it. Creating a Master Test Plan is the best way to do it and is a major output of test planning. Test Plan is the most important ongoing document which is created by QA team and helps to manage test project. Test

Business requirements are defined during the requirement phase. It is followed by logical design and refines requirement. Logical design is an abstract, conceptual not physical.Logical design is all about detail system framework and logical architecture is the manner in which logical components of a solution are organized and integrated. The Architectural Design phase, where a software

Requirement Phase: The testing process should begin early stage in application development cycle.Testers need a solid understanding of the product so they can devise better and more complete test plans, designs, procedures, and cases. Early test-team involvement can eliminate confusion about functional behavior later in the project life cycle. In addition, early involvement allows the test team

What is it?   Traceability matrix can be made more elaborate by tracing the requirements to the design to the code to the test cases. In this way we can come to know which requirement change will affect which part of the design and which part of the code and the test case.Usually this is an excel sheet. Traceability matrix is one which tells the deviation in the current test process with the

Software Test Life Cycle: Software testing life cycle identifies what test activities to carry out to accomplish quality assurance process in a software development project.There are different kinds of software development life cycle(SDLC) such as Waterfall, Spiral, Agile, and many others. Software testing has its own life cycle that intersects with every stage of the SDLC either it is
