Do think that Error guessing is significant in software testing?  Error guessing is significant in software testing, testers can use their past knowledge and experience to analyze   the problems which can cause trouble in later stages. By using preventive measures, testers can coordinate with developers and help them to build effective software. It also helps in saving the time and focus more on those areas where the probability of bugs is maximum.    Error guessing is a technique that always comes with the experience. If a person is working in the same domain for long time, then there is a great possibility that the person might be able to locate key areas where errors can be found. There are no particular steps that can be executed to follow this technique. I think it can be very useful in projects where tester's needs to sign off the build within a short span of time as at that time some experience testers can use this technique to find error prone areas and eventually deploy a stable build on production. Error Guessing plays an important role in software testing. Error guessing is basically finding/guessing the bug prone areas based on past experience of tester in software industry or specific domain. Past experience in particular domain is really helpful in finding the hidden bugs by putting ourselves in customer’s shoes and contributes in delivering quality software. In addition to this, if you are on a project for long time; based on previous testing phases, tester can report the errors. So, error guessing is significant in software testing for delivering a quality product. Error guessing is a skill that helps us to make our testing more effective and efficient. It is an ability to find defects prior to customers that helps organization to maintain healthy relationship with customers. It encourage testers to think weird situations in which application won't be able to cope up , on the basis of their experiences. Now move to our point of discussion Is error guessing is significant in testing,Not only for testing it is valuable for development as well. It is an art of finding defects wherever it can be hidden . It always comes with experience . Tools and techniques are not required for error guessing ,just start implementing weird scenarios that have not documented.

Based on your Expertise please share what will be the top 5 Trends to drive market for Leading software testing Companies in 2012-13.

The top trends to drive the current leading software testing companies are following: -

1. Test driven development (TDD): As we know that no software is 100 percent bug free and most of the bugs were found by the actual users when the application becomes live or goes on production. So at this time the change in code is very difficult and expensive. So to overcome this problem a technique is used that is called as TDD. TDD is a technique in which the code is tested thoroughly instead of using testing methodologies. It is basically a combination of test-first development and refactoring.
 
2. Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS): As ‘Testing-as-a-Service’ is done in the early stage of lifecycle due to which it helps in finding the bugs in early stage and reduces the cost. It also involves software optimization in sync to the customer’s needs which helps in delivering the relevant outcomes.

3. Automation of Mobile application: Application testing in mobile is very important because of large number of users and usage. But due to large number of configurations and model of handset availabilities it’s very tough to test these manually. To reduce manual efforts we will take the help of automation. The area where we can use the automation testing is Compatibility Testing, regression flows and security testing.

4. Crowd sourced Testing:  In this type of testing instead of dedicated testing team, companies created an on demand testing team or virtual team. In this technique company defines it environment, scenarios and type of testing. On the basis of this a vendor known as crowd source vendor identifies a set of testers and assigned the work to them.

As Software market is changing at a fast pace, so we have to keep our eye open on of some latest market trends. Lets discuss few of them:

Mobile Application testing:
The use of Smartphone’s have increased worldwide and these handheld smart phones have opened new world in the field of software testing. People now a days are dependent on their mobile phones not only because it has become a a style statement but also as it suits their project needs. Smart phones have increased the convenience of using internet on the move over personal computers for accessing the internet. This is emerging as a new trend as testing the mobile applications keeping end users in mind will help ensuring business achieve intelligent mobile user experience.

Cloud Computing:
Cloud computing has revolutionized IT structure actively now a days and is being forecast as the next boon in the technology industry. Users can use their applications over the Internet on demand from any computer irrespective of geographical locations .With this technology, companies can increase capacity without investing a lot in infrastructure. Not only this, the increasing scope for Cloud Computing is creating an opportunity for cloud testing as well.

Social networking:
People now a day’s want their applications to be as smart as social networking sites. Face book, LinkedIn, Twitter, MySpace have become very popular these days and companies want their applications to work as smart as social networking sites with powerful tools including blogs, discussion groups, instant messaging, gaining feedback etc. This concept will allow the organizations to build a bond between knowledge and human interaction that cannot be imagined few years ago. Implementing social networking tools in applications can put knowledge and resources to work in new and different ways and also ensure things in better and faster way building greater value to business.

Open Source technology:
By 2012, majority of all commercial software’s will include elements of open-source technology. For performing automation and performance testing, generally QAs are not given a specific requirement to use a specific tool. So many open-source technologies can be used which can reduce costs for automation tool and intern project costs. Not only this they have also emerged to be powerful than most commercially available products.

User Interface:
The next top trend is User Interface. Usability helps in finding out if the software meets user expectations and identifies the problematic areas which users face while interacting with the software. When we talk about conventional software testing methods, we usually ignore usability testing. Loading an application with many features does not impact users if they can't figure out how to use them. Thinking from the user's prospect always adds an essence to application and helps in building better software.

Performance Testing

Performance testing remains one of the most critical aspects. When we talk about e-commerce websites it gives us a chance to test the performance under the heaviest workloads even before we deploy the e-business. Customers have high expectations when they go online or use e-commerce websites hence the performance aspects can never be neglected.

Do you think that Exploratory Testing is more than Superficial Bug Hunting? Explain why?

As both the techniques i.e. Exploratory Testing & Superficial Bug Hunting are used in finding the escape defects that are not covered in test case scenarios but in my views Superficial Bug Hunting is more helpful in finding those such errors. ET will be done by those testing team who have already tested the application and executed the test cases but in bug hunt we use the testers who haven’t worked on that application. These testers would think from different prospective as compare to the team having a prior knowledge. Secondly ET will be done when all the SBT & RBT test cases have been executed and Bug hunt will perform just prior to the production release. So keeping the above points in mind we can say that Superficial Bug Hunting is more beneficial than ET.

QA TESTING

Writing a good bug report is an art.

Bug reporting is a skill that depicts what exactly an issue is and if the bug report sounds effective than there are higher chances to get it fixed. Logging a bug is a part of task for testers but a good tester should write an effective bug. There is a huge difference between simply logging a bug and reporting an effective bug as effective bug reporting increase the chances of it getting fixed. So, let’s share some important guidelines to write a good bug report so that the developer can understand, replicate and fix the issue:

1) Finding and reporting the root cause of a bug is very important as that would give developers a straight forward way to fix the bugs.
2) The title of the bug should be clear enough so that developer should be able to understand the bug by reading the headline itself. Headline should be small, to the point and self explanatory.
3) Focus on its reproducibility rate, be precise, articulate well and report it in a way that no further questions for additional information from the developers are raised once the bug is logged. This would not only make communication between testers and developers strong but also help in building healthy relationship between them.
4) Once you find a bug in one module then always test other similar modules as well. Try to reproduce the bug in related modules because there are chances that the same bug may occur in other related modules also.
5) Most of us have the tendency of buffering the bugs in the day and logging them at the end. This is not a good approach to follow as it would result in wastage of time and more effort is needed to reproduce it again and there may be a chance that you might overlook some important steps. There may be cases that issue may not reproduce at the end of the day due to some reason; which can even be a new build deployment. So, it is always a good practice to log bugs as soon as they are discovered.

6) Bug should be filed with all possible required details so that when a developer reads it, he should not resend the bug asking for some more information regarding the bug.

7) Screenshots where ever possible should be attached, if it is not possible attach a screenshot Video files should be attached.
8) Reference to the document, if any, which has been referred for the expected result should be provided.

9) If a bug is related to other bugs, then please include that information in the bug reports.

10) Everything should be explained in such a way so that developer shouldn’t get confused.

11) All the required information like the URL, user name etc should be mentioned in the description.

12) Proper affect version should be mentioned as this helps to diagnose when the issue was introduced.
13) The Language used should be to the point and any story writing practice should not be followed.
