Independent Offshore QA: Adding Value to the Distributed Agile Environment

Independent Offshore QA: Adding Value to the Distributed Agile Environment

In today's distributed Agile environment, emphasis is leaning towards doing away with independent offshore QA teams given the overall project time and budget constraints; thus it is time for us to sit up and proclaim our right place in the Agile methodology.

Today as a QA Testing team we have broadened our expertise horizon to way past the traditional "Functional Quality" tag and have effectively increased our mode and impact of communication leading to bridging the offshore-onsite gap, thus promoting enhanced product quality in reduced time frame. The offshore software testing and QA is helping the new onsite developers to come up to speed. We are acting as ready to help happy mentors. With the constantly evolving IT industry, we as testers are also evolving and adapting to new technologies and approaches to increase the product quality and provide agility.
Let us now delve a little deeper and uncover the nuances of a successful onsite-offshore agile partnership.
We all know the backbone of any agile practice is collaborative communication. But here the big question is not "what" but "how"? So let's together look at the "how" options and possibilities;
* It is time for us to compliment the formal emails with different communication tools (Skype, team viewer, Google+, etc) to lend our business relationships a warmer touch. Collaboration like this can help us realise the goals of effective defect prediction/prevention and zero defect vision. Video conferences and screen sharing help us understand and respect each other's viewpoints better
After making my point about the interactive approach, it's time to increase the value of the Offshore QA in Agile;

Web Security Testing : An Important Aspect

Web Security Testing

The human lifestyle is greatly impacted by the advances in internet technologies. Every day we become more and more dependent on it.  It provides effective means for virtual communication, online banking, shopping, e-learning and many more. But to enjoy the benefits of web technologies, we first need to make sure that these means are secure.

Security testing services plays a vital role in software industry. It is an approach to determine whether our confidential data on web is secure from unauthorized access or not.  Basically, it is a process to identify the vulnerabilities of web application caused due to improper coding & designing of an application. Vulnerabilities allow hackers to retrieve confidential information from network. Security testing services identifies holes in the software, and thus, improves the system stability. 

Before releasing a web application, the main purpose of security testing is to discover all vulnerabilities. But it is not possible to check each and every line of code to detect weaknesses in an application. The strategy should be such that testing saves time, effort and should start in the earlier phase of designing. Also consider all possible events that can occur and the risk associated with these events.

Some common vulnerability attacks are authentication, session management, SQL injection and error handling. Authentication attacks occur on a website if users are allowed to login with a weak password which is easily guessed by an attacker. Therefore, password should be a combination of uppercase, lowercase and special characters of required length.

Keyword Driven Testing Approach in Test Automation : Another Great Article by Knowledge Sharing Team

Keyword Driven Testing Approach in Test Automation

Testing is an important element of the software development life cycle. Manual testing still constitutes a large portion of software testing, however, it is a time consuming process. To improve productivity and coverage, test automation has been introduced. Test automation allows companies to perform repeatable tests on an application, which reduces time and also improves the test coverage.

Why to automate?

Test automation or automated software testing helps to reduce the manual efforts to test same functionalities over and over again. Testing the same functionalities in repeated manner can increase boredom and sometimes it leads to testing shortcuts resulting in inaccurate testing while doing manual testing. Test automation helps to automate these repeated tasks and to execute these tests with 100% accuracy.

Also, the automation of repeatable tests helps QA Testing engineers focus on new functionalities within an application which increases test coverage.

Independent Offshore Software Testing: A Smart Approach to QA

Independent Offshore Software Testing: A Smart Approach to QA

Software testing is no longer the new kid on the block in the IT industry. It has already established its vital role into the software development life cycle. Hence, the dependency of the performance of the product inevitably falls on QA's shoulder. In such a situation, pressure for delivering the best service demands the best utilization of the software testing skills. Independent offshore software testing is, thus, adding a new facet to the software-testing domain.

With the rise in importance of software testing, the objectives are clear that the quality of the product should reach its pinnacle and complete dedication to testing is essential. A decade ago, when there was no concept of independent offshore testing, the QA testing team would physically sit side-by-side with the development team. In such an environment, software testing did predominantly influenced by the development team. Therefore, bug counts, priority of bugs, bug reporting and various other responsibilities often failed to meet the desired level. These failures could be attributed to various factors like biased decision making, interference of development team in the QA's matters and so on.

Buggy Bug: Helper himself in need of Help : An Article by Knowledge Sharing Team

Buggy Bug: Helper himself in need of Help


Software quality testing, especially manual testing is all about finding and reporting bugs. Therefore, bug reports are the mirror image of the testing efforts applied. We can also say that bug reports are the most important outcome of the testing performed. So, it becomes very important that bug reports are essentially bug free. It might sound awkward or funny that the reported bug itself is buggy, but that is the case quite a few times which makes the situation quite embarrassing for the testing team.

Since bug reports hold the key,  it is worthy enough to understand how to write effective and bug free bug reports as writing a bug report effectively would minimize  responses such as  ‘Cannot Reproduce’,  ‘Need more Information’ from the developer’s end. Also, it would reduce the time taken by developers to fix the reported issues. This results in better understanding and smooth functioning of the project.

Precisely, it would not make a test engineer look very smart with a simple reason that he/she is claiming to have found a mistake in a particular area but on the other hand, he himself is not good enough to keep his statement or claim bug free. So, to avoid such embarrassment or awkward situations, a software quality testing engineer must keep the bug reports bug free.

Cloud Security and its Solutions

Cloud Security and its Solutions

Cloud Security popularly known as cloud computing security covers both aspects of computing security and network security. Cloud security has become an important matter to address; considering its growth and prospect. Cloud Testing provides affordable, on demand services.

It can be better said that, cloud commuting is not just a technological change but it is a social change. We are now considering that clouds have touched our daily life. The smart phones that we use, backs up users’ data on the cloud and it is being synchronized every moment.  Internet browsers have already started backing up data on clouds and provide localized printing solution via clouds. We have also seen that various operating system (OS) provider companies have already started developing their OS fully customized to use the cloud. Many organizations’ have started providing cloud SQL services which help in creating relational databases.

Although cloud computing has many advantages, cloud security is still a big challenge which is restricting and delaying the cloud adoption by its customers. There are many cloud security concerns that need to be addressed.

One of the major issues is protection of client data and applications it uses on the cloud. The provider must ensure that their cloud infrastructure is securely protecting their client data and applications. Data is more vulnerable to be hacked when it is being processed. Resource allocation can be used to provide enhanced security for data. Multi-tenancy technology used by clouds enables sharing of resources for large pool of clients. There are chances that data may be leaked accidentally because of such multi-tenancy. Other aspect is, if a user deletes his data, it should be deleted from all the back-up data bases provided by clouds.

Open vs Closed Source Software Testing Tools : Yet Another Articel By Knowledge Sharing Team

Open vs Closed Source Software Testing Tools

The billion dollar question that arises; when an organization decides to use any software quality testing tool is. 'Do we go with open source or commercial tools?'  Open source software testing tools are made available to customers, free of cost under General Public License (GNU)  while closed source software is proprietary software and customer has to pay to use them

Open-source software testing tools are supported and sustained by donations and crowd funding done mostly on internet. These cover for the cost of creating and maintaining the software. Open-source software testing tools are developed by non-profit organizations that have a group of volunteers who passionately create the software. Closed source software testing tools are developed by profit making organizations which develop the software testing tools to earn revenue from its valued customers.

Using open and closed source software testing tools has their own implications. Closed source software testing tools  are often quoted for their high costs and profit making tactics while open source software are historically regarded more derivative than innovative. Generally, the open-source communities have improved and extended existing concepts to provide richer open sourced software testing tools.

Cloud Testing – Increasing Scalability, flexibility and agility for testing enterprises

Cloud Testing – Increasing Scalability, flexibility and agility for testing enterprises

Today cloud computing and cloud testing are in their prime. But this was not the case few years back; the general approach adopted by various enterprises to test a software application was to invite big investments in imitating the user actions from various sections across the globe. With the growing need for firewalls and load balancers for load and performance testing, which involve high capital investment on hardware, software, overall maintenance, small and medium sized firms have to think a lot before investing so much of capital in their projects. With these problems comes the concept of cloud, which offers an accessible solution for such companies by providing off-premise architecture, which can be easily accessed via any system/machine.

These days the main focus of IT companies is to find ways by which they can increase their capacity or add capabilities to their resources without investing much in new infrastructure. The answer is 'Cloud computing'. It is a movement that looks set to take the quality on a different level as more and more software testing professionals begin to realize how testing on cloud could do good to them in terms of reduction in cost, and managing resources and results.

Adopting Behavior Driven Development (BDD) for Automated Software Testing

Adopting Behavior Driven Development (BDD) for Automated Software Testing

In today’s growing world of Agile the focus is on to deliver a better end user product with the user stories meeting the acceptance criteria within the estimated time frames; these require automated test cases for the validation and verification of implemented user stories than even before. The pitfall with the legacy approach is that it is oriented to ensure that the functionality implemented is right rather than implementing the right functionality. This challenge leads to Behavior Driven Development (BDD) for automated software testing, in which focus shifts to automate test cases depending on the required behavior of the application.

BDD is quite similar to Test Driven Development (TDD) in many ways, but it has several other potential benefits over TDD. Unlike TDD, it tries to focus more towards system behaviors than on the implementation code. One of the most crucial benefits of this approach is that behaviors change less often than implementation code. BDD evolved to overcome the shortcomings in TDD, which is also an Agile approach for writing automated test cases for software test automation. BDD suggests taking an "outside in" approach to development. This approach suggests that developers and testers think about the software under development from the outside-in, which in-turn drives the interfaces between collaborating objects that make up the software. What this means is firstly, we write a test case to make sure that the behavior of the application is correct with respect to a specific scenario.

Cloud Computing: An Overview : Yet Another Article on Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing: An Overview

Gone are the days when IT companies spent huge capital on IT infrastructure. Cloud computing proves to be a great boon to companies having limited IT infrastructure.

Cloud computing is a computing environment where application software services and computing needs are outsourced by business owners to a third party, and when they or their employees want to use the computing power or application resources, like databases, emails, etc., they access them via Internet.  

Why cloud computing?

Suppose you are a senior executive in a corporation; one of your responsibilities will be to ensure your employees have the correct software and hardware to do their daily work. A onetime investment of buying computer machines is not enough; you will also have to purchase software and their licenses. Now if you have a new hire in your team, then you will have to buy new software and licenses for the new team member or make sure current license allows another user. It will become very costly to purchase new software over and over again, often times in a very short time window.

Automated Software Testing :An Article By Knowledge Sharing Team

Automated Software Testing 

There are two approaches to perform software testing. One is manual testing where test cases are manually executed with different scenarios; the other is automation testing in which pre-set steps are executed using external tools. Today, many organizations are using ‘Agile Methodology’ to make their software processes more interactive and responsive, and thus, test automation becomes a requirement. Basically, it is a process to automate manual steps and tools are used to perform tests repeatedly against an application. The main purpose of software test automation is repeatable performance at lower price.  

Software Test automation improves efficiency of a software testing process. We can automate various types of testing - functional testing, to check the application’s operations; regression testing, to determine the application’s behavior after sets of fixes have been made; exception testing, to verify application’s error handling capacity; performance testing, to assure various application characteristics like response time, speed, throughput, efficiency of the system. Stress testing and load testing check the robustness and determines the capacity of an application, respectively.

Software Quality Testing : An Important Aspect of Software Quality

Software Quality Testing

The rapid pace of change in the 21st century has brought with it a hectic pace of life for all of us. As such, we count on the products we use in our everyday lives to help ease our busy schedules. We expect such products to work as intended and have zero tolerance for those that do not. Faulty products not only disappoint us, but for the businesses that produce them, result in lost market share and profitability. Whether for home use or business, it is essential that companies producing these products ensure they are not introduced to the marketplace before they are ready. With so much competition today, companies that drop the ball soon drop out of the marketplace.

So, how do companies ensure customers are receiving quality products? Through quality testing. Briefly, companies addressing the following three key areas in their Software Quality Testing can be confident in producing competitive products.  Software: This is the code, in the form of programs, constructed to meet customer needs for a product. A number of tools and platforms exist in the marketplace to develop software. Some of the better known are Java, .Net, PHP, etc. Software developers not only have a grasp of these tools and platforms, but have a thorough understanding of the requirements needed to produce the product as intended.

Need For Security Testing

Need For Security Testing 

Security means that ized access is granted to protected data and unized access is restricted."

Security testing is a procedure conducted to determine whether or not an information system properly protects data and maintains functionality as intended. The software industry is one of our most important industries today. And in the last few years the cyber-world has become even more dominating, giving new shape to many businesses. Best evidence to support this contention is the web based ERP systems used worldwide. In recent times, websites developed for entertainment, publicity or marketing purposes, have progressed into entities designed to provide the entire suite of business needs. Web based Payroll systems, Shopping Malls, Banking, and Stock Trading applications are just a few examples. Such expansion into these critical business functions has necessitated a compelling need for security.
Reasons for security testing: In addition to tracking loopholes that can cause loss of information or permit intruders into the system,security testing serviceshelps to make systems more stable and durable. Security testing provides economical efficiency to the product by preventing these types of problems.

Accessibility Testing : A Nice Article to read

Accessibility Testing

According to WHO, there are more than 285 million people in world who are either blind or have low vision. To make internet accessible to people with such and other forms of disability, websites have to be designed according to Section 508 of the United States Rehabilitation Act guidelines. This ensures that information available on websites can be accessed by a disabled person almost as easily as by any other end user. If images and links on websites have meaningful names, it will help visually impaired users  access the application with help of software, like text-to-speech. If a link is underlined and coloured, it will help color-blind users to differentiate them from normal text. Also, if text is displayed within a video, it will help people with hearing disorders.

Accessibilitytesting is the process of making sure a product or website is accessible to people with disabilities. Websites or content are tested for ease of access by people who are blind or have low vision, who cannot use keyboard or mouse, people who are hard of hearing or are suffering from dyslexia (state where brain does not work properly to read content). Therefore, testers need to make sure that a product is accessibility compliant while performing functional testing. A checklist for accessibility testing should contain test cases like:

a.  Content on website is visible even in high contrast mode

b.  Screen reading tools should be able to read all the content and image text

c.   All functions on website are possible without using mouse (only via keyboard)

Software Testing Growth and its Market : 

Software testing was introduced by Glenford J Myers (known as the father of software testing) in 1979. The main aim at that time was to separate verification from the rest of the coding process itself. His work was carried forward to the next level in the year 1988 by Dr. William C. Hetzel, who organized the first conference totally dedicated to 'Software Testing'. This article focuses on the present market for global software testing services.

The IT think tanks, specialists and bigwigs of theindustry consider it to be one of the most important tasks in the software devlopment process. In terms of quality engineering, one of the major targets to fulfil is meeting customer requirements, and above all, their expectations; this can be done only by making a defect-free product that is thoroughly tested. Business and top level management are aware that software testing is one of the most essential processes in the whole cycle to be completed; therefore, investment and capitalization is high. The market value of software testing has grown tremendously and will soar to new heights in the upcoming years.

Software Test Metrics: Empirical Approach towards Quality : Yet Another Article By Knowledge Sharing Team

Software Test Metrics: Empirical Approach towards Quality :

80% of average project costs indulge to fix challenges, bugs and other issues during the development of a project. No other business can afford this much failure in terms of budget and time. There can be many reasons for such failures; the focus of our discussion here is not to discuss the roots of such failures but how to improve effectiveness in terms of time and money. In agile methodology, transparency is a big challenge as there is no documentation. It's very important to pick effective metrics to use as you can't manage what you can't measure.

In Software quality testing, there is an important role of ‘Metrics’ popularly known as Software Metrics;”software metric is a measure of some property of a piece of software or its specifications “[Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_metric]. Software metrics can be an answer to many questions, like planning budget, cost estimation, assuring quality of a product, software debugging, software performance optimization, and resource management.
