There is good tutorial by Guru 99 (http://www.guru99.com/) - which offers a very large tutorial library. Here is the tutorial on the Application Testing Tutorial: Methodology, Tools, Test Plan, Best Practice.
As Austin will explain,
Application Testing is a set of activities conducted through scripts with the motive of finding errors in software. It deals with tests for the entire application. It helps to enhance the quality of your applications while reducing costs, maximizing ROI, and saving development time.
Application testing can be done in various categories like GUI, functionality, database (backend), load test, etc.
For Application Testing, the testing lifecycles involve various phases which include requirement analysis, test planning, test analysis, test design, test execution & bug reporting, etc.Of course Austin has much more to say on this subject! Here is a link to his presentation.
Austin mentioned IBM Rational software he used to do automated testing. IBM provides automated testing solutions for multi-platform applications, including regression testing, integration technologies, performance testing and scalability testing. Here is a link to their automated testing products. If you look at the IBM rational software suite, it is all about continuous development, agile and lean, and DevOps. We may visit this again.
Hey, it turns out that at the City of Tucson, where I currently intern, the ERP product that we use is a CGI product. We are about to go through an application upgrade scheduled for July 1st of this year to their 3.11 version of their ERP. Did you have any experience testing this version of the product as the version we are upgrading too isn't even going to be CGI's latest release for ERP but an earlier version.
ReplyDeleteHey Josh,
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I did not have experience testing this ERP. The project I worked on was a custom built application made specifically for the Franchise Tax Board of the State of California. Since it was a state entity dealing with loads of confidential information, they built a new app from scratch to conform to their requirements. The project was 6 years long, and I believe they even added on an additional continuation project to assist with training and further maintenance of the application since I left.
Feel free to shoot any additional questions my way and I'll be happy to help where I can!
