Implementing smoke test technique on online application

Abstract

Software testing primarily has two purposes (1) evaluate an attribute or capability of a program, (2) ensure the program delivers expected outcomes. There are many approaches of software testing but complex product testing cannot be done through routine procedures, instead, it involves a process of investigation. The primary concern of software testing revolves around the selection of testing strategy to meet the specific testing requirements. Therefore, it can be commented that selection of the right strategy in right time can make the software testing efficient and effective. Software testing is a set of activities that intent to find errors in software. This attempts to detect the bugs that create software malfunctions and verifies and validates the functionality of the software. In this project, software testing by implementing smoke test technique on Online Application will help the company to test their product see whether this module will meet the customer requirements and also decrease the determines of producing faulty software. This is used to detect defects early in the software development lifecycle and give idea whether this module is ready or not to save the time and effort to start the further formal testing. Smoke test is probably the most important test, it gives the confidence that the application actually runs. If it does not run, smoke test should be able to give us some basic diagnostics as to whether this application is down because something it depends on is not working. With this process we can have preliminary testing on the product and able to gage the risk and the status from it. Testing process in this project involves: study and analysis requirements, design test cases, document them in detailed, writing test procedures in formal document, execute test cases, automated all written test cases by using selenium tool, and report all detected defects among test execution process. All detected defects were reported.
