Age Testing

Age Testing is the type of testing in which we check that how the software will perform in future, How the software performance going down as per the time passes, How the software dependencies will fall. This all comes under Age Testing.

Now i am adding another terms here call it Defect Age. Let me elaborate how to defect Age of any software.

Defect Age can be check by 2 method. First is Phase and another is Time.

Defect Age in terms of phase is the difference between the defect identification time and defect injection time.
Let's Say in Software Development Life cycle following are the steps
  • Requirement Analysis
  • System design
  • Software Design
  • Coding Phase
  • Testing Phase
  • Deploy
  • Maintenance
so if any defect which introduce in system design and identifies in Testing Phase then Defect Age will be 5-2=3.

Defect Age in terms of Time is difference between the  current date and defect detection date if defect is still open or the date of defect on that that defect get fix.

If defect is detected on 01 Jan 2015, 10 AM and close on date 03 Jan 2015, 11 AM then Defect Age will be 49 Hours.

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.

Smoke Testing

In Smoke Testing, Testing team check the key feature or key bugs of the software. Smoke testing ensure that critical functionality of the software is working fine.If key features are not working then it is no needed to test the overall functionality because it is just waste of time. In Smoke Testing, test team check the basic feature of the software and if basic feature is not working it means software is broken very badly and further testing is unnecessary. If Smoke Testing failed then it is declared that build is unstable and revert back to developer team until smoke test is pass.

Difference between Error, Bug, Defect and Failure

Error: Any mistake in the coding called error. The mistake may be Syntax error, Logical errors or other GUI errors lead errors in any software. These are from developer side. Defect: The error which made by developer and during testing, Tester is able to find that errors,  means if actual result deviated from expected result then that error called defects. This is caught by testers. Bug: The defect which is developed by tester team, if expected by the developer team then that defect called an bug. Failure: If the Software does not meet the client requirement then this is called failure of the software.
