QTP Topics to Practise

Hello Friends, I come up with something related to Automation. I know every know quite excited these days in learning QTP Automation Tool which is primarily used for Regression Testing and some use for Functional Testing too. Check out the document below which shows you the steps to follow in order to get your hands on QTP Training . I also included link to HP Mercury QTP Software and also gave links to some tutorials which are provided along with QTP Software. Most of the times these are not noticed much by everyone but they really gives you edge on QTP tool. Once you are comfortable using tool you can easily survive with industry requirements on Automation Testing.

Effective GUI Testing Automation: Developing an Automated GUI Testing Tool


Description:


Have you tried using an "Automated" GUI Testing Tool, only to find that you spent most of your time configuring, adjusting, and directing it ? This book presents a sensible and highly effective alternative: it teaches you to build and use your own truly automated tool. The procedure you'll learn is suitable for virtually and development environment, and the tool allows you to store your test data and verification standard separately, so you can build it once and use it for other GUI's. Most, if not all, of your work can be done without test scripts, collect test data, and generate test cases. You'll spend virtually none of your time playing with the tool or application under test.

Code-intensive examples support all of the book's instruction, which includes these key topics:


* Building a C# API text viewer
* Building a test monkey
* Developing an XML viewer using xPath and other XML-related classes
* Building complex, serializable classes for GUI test verification
* Automatically testing executable GUI applications and user-defined GUI controls
* Testing managed (.NET) and unmanaged GUI applications
* Automatically testing different GUI controls, including Label, TextBox, Button, CheckBox, RadioButton, Menu
* Verifying test results

Effective GUI Test Automation is the perfect complement to Li and Wu's previous book, Effective Software Test Automation: Developing an Automated Software Testing Tool. Together, they provide programmers, testers, designers, and managers with a complete and cohesive way to create a smoother, swifter development process—and, as a result, software that is as bug-free as possible.

Best Reference Book On Software Testing

Software Testing And Continuous Quality Improvement, Second Edition
Description:
Software Testing and Continuous Quality Improvement, Second Edition, illustrates a quality framework for software testing in traditional structured and unstructured environments. It explains how a continuous quality improvement approach promotes effective testing, and it analyzes the various testing tools and techniques that you can choose. Section I explains the role of QA principles and best practices in software testing. It provides a detailed overview of basic software testing techniques and an introduction of Deming's concept of quality through a continuous improvement process. This section explores the Plan, Do, Check, Act (PDCA) process, which is applied to all aspects of software testing. Section II reviews the software development life cycle and describes how testing and continuous quality improvement are incorporated into each phase of development. Section III details continuous quality improvement as part of the testing process. It breaks down software testing into a series of tasks that apply Deming's PDCA cycle. Section IV discusses fundamental challenges of managing testing projects, whether they are on-site or offshore. You learn how to establish effective test estimations to ensure that testing projects are on track. It also covers strategies for monitoring and managing software defects. Section V contains a brief history of software testing, previews advanced futuristic testing tools, and provides guidance for choosing the proper tool for various environments. It provides examples of some of the most popular products and offers a detailed methodology for evaluating them.

10 Rules for Quality Testing

10 Sutras to become a Good Teseter.
Remember these ten rules and I am sure you will definitely gain very good testing skill.
1. Test early and test often.
2. Integrate the application development and testing life cycles.Also know as V-Model. You’ll get better results and you won’t have to mediate between two armed camps in your IT shop.
3. Formalize a testing methodology; you’ll test everything the same way and you’ll get uniform results.
4. Develop a comprehensive test plan; it forms the basis for the testing methodology.(Sometimes it is prepared by Test leader, just follow it under his guidance).
5. Use both static and dynamic testing.
6. Define your expected results with possible sets of data.
7. Understand the business concept behind the application. You’ll write a better application and better testing scripts.Try to have discussion with clients and request them to explain you there business process.
8. Use multiple levels and types of testing (regression, systems, integration, stress and load).
9. Review and inspect the work on periodical basis, it will lower costs.
10. Don’t let your programmers check their own work; they’ll miss their own errors.
