■ ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ ■■■■■■■■■■

Why Testing Required


- Bugs ■■■■■■ - Quality ■■■■■■■ ■■■■ - Security ■ Performance ■■■■■ ■■■■ - User
satisfaction ■■■■■■■ ■■■■

Types of Errors
- Error: Developer mistake - Bug/Defect: Code ■ ■■■■■■ - Failure: Wrong output ■■■■ ■■■■

2. Verification & Validation (V&V;)


Verification: ■■■■■■■ ■■■ product ■■■■■■■ build ■■■■■ Validation: Confirm software
user requirement ■■■■ ■■■■

3. SDLC & Testing Models


Models: Waterfall, V-Model, Agile Agile ■ continuous testing ■■■■

4. Levels of Testing
Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing, User Acceptance Testing (UAT)

5. Types of Testing
Functional, Non-Functional, White-Box, Black-Box

Black Box Techniques


Equivalence Partitioning, Boundary Value Analysis, Decision Table, State Transition

6. STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle)


Requirement Analysis → Test Planning → Test Case Design → Environment Setup → Test
Execution → Defect Reporting → Closure

7. Test Case Format


Fields: Test ID, Description, Preconditions, Steps, Expected Output, Actual Output, Status

8. Defect Life Cycle


New → Assigned → In-Progress → Fixed → Retest → Closed/Reopened

Severity vs Priority
Severity = Impact Priority = Fix urgency

9. Automation Testing
Tools: Selenium, JUnit, TestNG, PyTest Used for repetitive and performance tests

Important Interview Concepts


Smoke Testing, Sanity Testing, Regression Testing, Alpha & Beta Testing, Performance Testing

Boundary Value Example


If range = 1–10 → test values: 0,1,10,11
