Outsource2india has been providing quality software testing services to numerous global software clients for almost two decades now. Our expertise in this field is unmatched and we provide the best-in-industry services to all our clients. We understand the importance of ET and hence provide our services accordingly. Some of the key services we offer include -
-
Defect Categorization
This service involves the categorization of different types of bugs found in previous versions of software, followed by finding the apt way to test the application for these defects, and finally analyzing the main reason behind these defects in the application.
-
Charter Development
This is one of the key steps in the exploratory software testing method and involves preparing a systematic schedule of what needs to be tested, which are the different aspects to be tested, how these steps will be carried out, etc. Here, our software testers will begin by analyzing all the different test ideas.
-
Fixed Time Testing
In this step, our software testers test the software application for a fixed amount of time without any kind of interruptions. This is usually done in groups and enables them to analyze different aspects of an application from multiple angles. Testers can test the appropriate outcome and understand the application's response.
-
Analyzing Test Results
Our software testing analysis team at Outsource2india is trained to analyze the test results after all the tests are carried out. This helps to learn more about the software application and review different coverage areas.
-
Test Result Compilation
This is done by our expert team after all the major tests are completed. The results are compiled and sorted in a systematic manner and, after compilation, the results are compared with the original charter to check whether any further testing is needed or not.
Overview of Our Exploratory Testing
This methodology of testing is adopted for clients interested in outsourcing QC activity for an application that is already built.
- Based on their domain knowledge and technical expertise, our testers explore the application to find bugs/ faults in it
- Here, test cases are not created in advance, but testers check the system on the fly. The focus of exploratory testing is more on testing as a "thinking" activity
- Exploratory testing is a simultaneous process of test design and test execution all done at the same time
- Exploratory testing is also complementary to test automation, i.e., while automated checks are checking for regression issues, exploratory testing focuses on new features that have been developed
- Exploratory testing is not random testing but is ad-hoc testing with the purpose of finding bugs
- Exploratory testing is structured and rigorous
- Exploratory testing is cognitively (thinking) structured as compared to the procedural structure of scripted testing. This structure comes from Charter, time boxing, etc.
- Exploratory testing is highly teachable and manageable
- Exploratory testing is not a technique, but it is an approach. What actions we perform next is governed by what we are doing currently
Our Exploratory Testing Process
Exploratory test preparation, also called session-based test management (SBTM Cycle) goes through the following 5 stages detailed below -
Create a Bug Taxonomy (classification)
- Categorize common types of faults found in past projects
- Analyze the root cause of the problems or faults
- Find the risks and develop ideas to test the application
Test Charter
- Test Charter should suggest
- what to test
- how it can be tested
- What needs to be looked
- Test ideas are the starting point of exploration testing
- Test charter helps determine how the end-user could use the system
Time Box
- This method includes a pair of testers working together for not less than 90 minutes
- There should not be any interruption in the 90-minute sessions
- Timebox can be extended or reduced by 45 minutes
- This session encourages testers to react to the response from the system and prepare for the correct outcome
Review Results
- Evaluation of the defects
- Learning from the testing
- Analysis of coverage areas
Debriefing
- Compilation of the output results
- Compare the results with the charter
- Check whether any additional testing is needed
As an example, during exploratory execution, Outsource2India's testers perform the following tasks -
- Make the mission of the testing very clear
- Keep notes on what needs to be tested, why it needs to be tested, and the assessment of the product quality
- Track questions and issues raised during exploratory testing
- Pair up the testers for effective testing
- The more we test, the more likely we are to execute right test cases for the required scenarios
We also ensure that we take every document and monitor the following -
- Test Coverage
- Risks
- Test Execution Log
- Issues/Queries
