Retesting

For understand the Retesting let me give you a example. Suppose in a electric board, one switch is not working. You will call the electrician to fix it. He will fix the switch now you will check to confirm that is this switch working now or not. This is called Retesting or Confirmation Testing.

In terms of Software Testing the process follow like this. Developer write the code for particular module and assign the build to the the QA Team to test. If QA team find any bug in the latest build then QA team assigned that bug to the developer team. Developer Team fix that bug and again develop a new build for testing and assign to the QA team. Now QA team will check and verify that bug assigned to developer team is fixed and this type of testing called Retesting or Confirmation Testing. As per the name suggest retesting means test again to verify.

In Retesting QA team make sure that the Failed Test cases in last run should be pass after the bug fixing process. Priority of Retesting higher then Regression Testing because of that Retesting carried out before the Regression Testing. Defect verification is the part of Retesting. Retesting can't be automate and is planned Testing.

For an example for Retesting in terms of Software testing, Suppose you are as a QA testing the Login Page for any software. You found some bugs. Let say after Login page is not redirecting to the My profile section it is redirecting to Home Page of the Software but as per client requirement page should be redirect to the My Profile Page. You post that bug to the Developer team. They fixes the bug and now you need to again verified that bug that now after Login page should be redirect to the My Profile Page. This is called Retesting.

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

How to Put Load on a Script in JMeter

In last post we discussed about how to record a test script and Firefox settings to run the script. In this post we will discuss about how the Thread Group will work, how can we put n number of users to perform load testing, In JMeter by using Thread Group, we can create virtual users. Thread Group is a set of thread which work in same scenario. There are multiple thread group are available which is use to configure how the virtual users interest with the application, How much load maintain and till how much time load maintain.

Causes of Software Defects

It is practically impossible that developer develop a bug free software and that software we can deliver without Testing. If the complexity of the software increased then there must be bugs that can harm the users who will use that software.
