Smoke testing is a type of software testing which ensures that the major functionalities of the application are working fine. This testing is also known as ‘Build Verification testing’. It is a non-exhaustive testing with very limited test cases to ensure that the important features are working fine and we are good to proceed with the detailed testing.

The term ‘smoke’ testing is originated from [Read more…] about What is smoke testing? When to use it? Advantages and Disadvantages

The main objective in Agile is to generate working software at the end of iteration and receive feedback from the customer, to provide early business value to the stakeholders. It all starts with release planning at the start of a release followed by construction iterations. At the beginning of iteration there is iteration planning in which the user stories of high priority are pulled into the iteration backlog to define the iteration scope.

There are many benefits that can be gained by using tools to support testing. They are:

• Reduction of repetitive work: Repetitive work is very boring if it is done manually. People tend to make mistakes when doing the same task over and over. Examples of thistype of repetitive work include running regression tests, entering the sametest data again and again (can be done by a test executiontool), checking against coding standards (which can be done by a static analysistool) or creating a specific test database (which can be done by a test datapreparation tool).

Monitoring toolsare used to continuously keep track of the status of the systemin use, in order to have the earliest warning of failures, defects or problems and to improve them. [Read more…] about What is Monitoring tools in software testing?
