12:45 pm	Software Testing Tutorial Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a procedural process in the development of a software product. network security The process is carried in a set of steps, which explains the whole idea about how to go through each product. The classification of process is as follows Planning Analysis Design Software Development Implementation Software Testing Deployment Maintenance Software Testing is an important factor in a product's life cycle, as it will have greater life only when it works correctly and efficiently according to the customer's requirements. Before we go ahead and take a detailed look at software testing, it is important that we know a few concepts that will simplify the definition of software testing. Error: Error or mistake is a human action that produces wrong or incorrect result. Defect (Bug, Fault): A flaw in the system or a product that can cause the component to fail or misfunction. Failure: It is the variance between the actual and expected result. Risk: Risk is a factor that could result in negativity or a chance of loss or damage. Thus, software testing is the process of finding defects/bugs in the system, that occur due to an error in the application, which could lead to failure of the resultant product and increase in probability of high risk. In short, software testing has different goals and objectives, which often include: finding defects; gaining confidence and providing information about the level of quality; preventing defects. If you are new to the field of software testing, then the article will be of great help. The primary function of software testing is to detect bugs in order to uncover and detect it. The scope of software testing includes execution of that code in various environment and also to examine the aspects of code - does the software do what it is supposed to do, and function according to the specifications As we move further we come across some questions such as "When to start testing" and "When to stop testing" It is recommended to start testing from the initial stages of the software development. This not only helps in rectifying tremendous errors before the last stage, but also reduces the rework of finding the bugs in the initial stages every now and then. It also saves the cost of the defect required to find it. Software testing is an ongoing process, which is potentially endless but has to be stopped somewhere, due to the lack of time and budget. It is required to achieve maximum profit with good quality product, within the limitations of time and money. The tester has to follow some procedural way through which he can judge if he covered all the points required for testing or missed out any. To help testers to carry out these day-to-day activities, a baseline has to be set, which is done in the form of checklists. Software Testing Key Concepts Defects and Failures: As we discussed earlier, defects are not caused only due to the coding errors, but most commonly due to the requirement gaps in the non-functional requirement, such as usability, testability, scalability, maintainability, performance and security. A failure is caused due to the deviation between an actual and an expected result. But not all defects result to failures. A defect can turn into a failure due to the change in the environment or the change in the configuration of the system requirements. Input Combination and Preconditions: Testing all combination of inputs and initial state (preconditions), is not feasible. This means finding large number of infrequent defects is difficult. Static and Dynamic Analysis: Static testing does not require execution of the code for finding defects, whereas in dynamic testing, software code is executed to demonstrate the results of running tests. Verification and Validation: Software testing is done considering these two factors. Verification: This verifies whether the product is done according to the specification Validation: This checks whether the product meets the customer requirement Software Quality Assurance: Software testing is an important part of the . Quality assurance is an activity, which proves the suitability of the product by taking care of the quality of a product and ensuring that the customer requirements are met. Software Testing Types: Software test type is a group of test activities that are aimed at testing a component or system focused on a specific test objective; a non-functional requirement such as usability, testability or reliability. Various types of software testing are used with the common objective of finding defects in that particular component. Manual Scripted Testing: Black Box Testing White Box Testing Gray Box Testing The levels of software testing life cycle includes : Unit Testing Integration Testing System Testing Acceptance Testing (Alpha Testing & Beta Testing) Other types of software testing are: Functional Testing Performance Testing (Load Testing & Stress Testing) Smoke Testing Sanity Testing Regression Testing Recovery Testing Usability Testing Compatibility Testing Configuaration Testing Exploratory Testing Automated Testing Manual testing is a time-consuming process. Automation testing involves automating a manual process. Test automation is a process of writing a computer program in the form of scripts to do a testing which would otherwise need to be done manually. Some of the popular automation tools are Winrunner, Quick Test Professional (QTP), LoadRunner, SilkTest, Rational Robot, etc. Automation tools category also includes maintenance tool such as TestDirector and many other. Software testing process can produce various artifacts such as: Test Plan: A test specification is called a test plan. A test plan is documented so that it can be used to verify and ensure that a product or system meets its design specification. Traceability matrix: This is a table that correlates or designs documents to test documents. This verifies that the test results are correct and is also used to change tests when the source documents are changed. Test Case: Test cases and software testing strategies are used to check the functionality of individual component that is integrated to give the resultant product. These test cases are developed with the objective of judging the application for its capabilities or features. Test Data: When multiple sets of values or data are used to test the same functionality of a particular feature in the test case, the test values and changeable environmental components are collected in separate files and stored as test data. Test Scripts: The test script is the combination of a test case, test procedure and test data. Test Suite: Test suite is a collection of test cases. Software Testing Process Software testing process is carried out in the following sequence, in order to find faults in the software system: Create Test Plan Design Test Case Write Test Case Review Test Case Execute Test Case Examine Test Results Perform Post-mortem Reviews Budget after Experience Here is a sample Test Case for you: Software Test Case for Login Page: Purpose: The user should be able to go to the Home page. Pre-requisite: S/w should be compatible with the Operating system. Login page should appear. User Id and Password textboxes should be available with appropriate labels. Submit and Cancel buttons with appropriate captions should be available. Test Data: Required list of variables and their values should be available. For example: User Id:Valid UserId, Invalid UserId, empty, Password:Valid, Invalid, empty. 1. TC1. Checking User Interface requirements. User views the page to check whether it includes UserId and Password textboxes with appropriate labels. Also expects that Submit and Cancel buttons are available with appropriate captions Screen dispalys user interface requirements according to the user. 2. TC2. Textbox for UserId should: i)allow only alpha-numeric charactersa-z, A-Z ii)not allow special characters like'$','#','!','~','*',... iii)not allow numeric characters like0-9 i)User types numbers into the textbox. i)Error message is displayed for numeric data. 3. TC3. Checking functionality of the Password textbox: i)Textbox for Password should accept six or more characters. ii)Data should be displayed in encrypted format. i)User enters only two characters in the password textbox. i)Error message is displayed when user enters less than six characters in the password textbox. ii)User clicks on the 'SUBMIT' button and expects to view the 'Home' page of the application. ii)System is redirected to the 'Home' page of the application as soon as he clicks on the 'SUBMIT' button. ii)User checks whether the textboxes for UserId and Password are reset to blank by clicking on the 'CANCEL' button. ii)System clears the data available in the UserId and Password textbox when user clicks on the 'CANCEL' button. Fault Finding Techniques in Software Testing Finding a defect or fault in the earlier parts of the software not only saves time and money, but is also efficient in terms of security and profitability. As we move forward towards the different levels of the software, it becomes difficult and tedious to go back for finding the problems in the initial conditions of the components. The cost of finding the defect also increases. Thus it is recommended to start testing from the initial stages of the life cycle. There are various techniques involved along with the types of software testing. There is a procedure that is to be followed for finding a bug in the application. This procedure is combined into the life cycle of the bug in the form of contents of a bug, depending upon the severity and priority of that bug. This life cycle is named as the bug life cycle, which helps the tester in answering the question - There arises a need of measuring the software, both, when the software is under development and after the system is ready for use. Though it is difficult to measure such an abstract constraint, it is essential to do so. The elements that are not able to be measured, need to be controlled. There are some important uses of measuring the software: Software metrics helps in avoiding pitfalls such as cost overruns, in identifying where the problem has raised, clarifying goals. It answers questions such as: What is the estimation of each process activity, How is the quality of the code that has been developed, How can the under developed code be improved, etc. It helps in judging the quality of the software, cost and effort estimation, collection of data, productivity and performance evaluation. Some of the common software metrics are: Code Coverage Cyclomatic complexity Cohesion Coupling Function Point Analysis Execution time Source lines of code Bug per lines of code In short, measurement of a software is for understanding, controlling and improvement of the software system. Software is subject to changes, with respect to changing environmental conditions, varying user requirements, as well as configuration and compatibility issues. This gives rise to the development of newer and updated versions of software. But, there should be some source of getting back to the older versions easily and working on them efficiently. Software testing is a good career opportunity for those who are interested in the software industry. Video game testing is an offshoot of software testing. There are many industries specializing in this field. Believe it or not, you can actually get paid to test video games. You can read more on how to become a video game tester.

1:26 pm	best spyware remover - best anti spyware software for mac Spywares and adwares are not only annoying but more often than not tend to damage your computer software and sometimes can even cause some damage to your hardware too. These annoying bugs have become a bane for internet browsers worldwide. They have become a normal occurrence that we sometimes tend to ignore but God forbid we should never accept. Spyware is computer software that spies on your internet usage. It collects highly personal and confidential information like credit card numbers, IPs and even addresses. The spyware program gets the credit card entries as the user logs them on a web form or an online application. Some spyware are even programmed to record your usage of the internet, what sites you visit, what files you download and how long you stay online. The information are then sent or sold to advertisers which make good use of them for advertising campaigns that targets specific markets or audience. Usually, Spyware records IP addresses and shopping habits covertly or without the knowledge or consent of users. They do that in a number of ways. Some uses logging keystrokes to get information while some access the documents found in your computer's hard disk. The term spyware first came to use in 1995 but the adoption of its present meaning came five years later. Spyware has been identified as the top security threats to computers using the Microsoft Windows operating systems. And Internet Explorer users were found to be the ones more susceptible to spyware attacks. Because of the popularity of IE and Windows, spyware programs were created to specifically attack and find its way from the internet into IE and into the important parts of the Windows operating system. The threats are real and that's why the anti-spyware industry is flourishing. For every new spyware discovered, an anti-spyware program or update is created. These anti-spyware products usually disable or remove the existing spyware from the user's computer system. Once installed, they also provide protection preventing a variety of spyware programs from installing themselves in your computer. However, there's a need to update these anti-spyware programs regularly. The World Wide Web is a fast pace medium. Everything in there changes quickly and even sporadically. The same goes with spyware. You never know when advertisers, web developers or even the government will come out with newer versions of spyware or adware that have improved ways of accessing your files and personal information. Some spyware program offer an uninstall option together with the program. Most of the time, however, these uninstall options don't work. Some even installs more spyware instead of removing that particular one. So, it is best that you rely on services of anti-spyware programs to fully remove them from your operating system. But while it is good that there are various anti-spyware programs at your disposal, it is better that you prevent the installation of these spyware in the first place. Some of the techniques that you could use are to disable the automatic installations of programs in your internet browsers and to install pop-up blockers. Spyware and adware attaches themselves more frequently on those rather annoying advertising pop-ups. When accessing your email, it is a good practice to ignore mails that came from persons that you do not know or those that contain a vague subject. It is best that you delete these emails without opening them. It is quite cumbersome, but you really need to take time doing these things to make sure that your computers are free from spyware. Imagine yourself walking along a busy street, minding your own business. You stop by a men's clothing store. You look at the window display, point at a new pair of shoes. After a few minutes of gawking at the window display you move on home. As you go inside your house, you noticed a flyer on your porch. The flyer is on the exact pair of shoes that you saw in the men's store. How did they know Was it coincidence If this all happened in the internet, then it's probably not a coincidence. Your computer has been watched and your "movement" in the Web has been recorded. Your operating system has some spyware in it. Spyware are computer programs that attach themselves in whatever things you download online. They are designed to track you wherever you go online. Spyware is a little different from adware. Adware are also referred to as freeware and are basically ads that pop-up when you open a website or webpage or open a program. Spyware are similar in that they are also freeware, however, spyware programs have embedded tracking programs which reports your activity in the internet to the spyware agent which in turn provides the information to advertisers and web developers. With this information, advertisers and web developers and even the government can feed your computers with any information they want without your consent and even without you noticing it. It is best, therefore that you employ some precautionary measures yourselves to stay free from spyware and adware attacks. First you need to disable auto installation of software programs in your internet browsers and you need use pop-up blockers and firewall protection. This is your first line of defense against such spyware programs. The next thing to do is to get decent anti-spyware programs. It shouldn't be too hard, there are a lot of them nowadays and most of them are free or at the very least have free trial accounts. Among the most popular free anti-spyware and adware programs are Ad Aware and Active Shield. Ad Aware offers advanced protection against Data-mining, Parasites, aggressive advertising, Scumware and some traditional viruses and tracking systems like Trojans, Dialers, Malware and Browser hijackers. Active Shield on the other hand targets trojans and spyware. Other popular anti-spyware software include Spy-Ad Exterminator Free which searches the computer's memory, hard drives, and registry for spyware, adware, worms, hijacks, keyloggers, among others; Spy Cleaner Lite which identifies and removes programs that has been covertly installed in your systems; Spyware Doctor is an advanced adware and spyware removal program; Free Spyware Scanner tells the user how their computer got infected and the best solution for spyware removal; Doctor Alex Antispyware; Spyware Begone; 1-2-3 Spyware Free; and Easy Spyware Scanner. Most of the time, these anti-spyware scanners and removal utilities will locate spyware and adware in your computer and will delete, ignore, or quarantine each and every one of them. Some anti-spyware programs will remove spyware automatically while other provides a user interface option where you can customize specific actions the anti-spyware would perform. Some other popular spyware removal software includes Anti-Hijacker, Spyware & Adware Removal, Max Secure Spyware Detector, and Deluxe Spy-Kill utilities. These are just some of the more popular spyware removal software. It's up to you which one you choose, but try to look for reputable ones business firewalls.
