Manual Testing Metrics and Best Practices

The document discusses various aspects of manual testing including the test cycle closure process, required test metrics to be collected, examples of test metrics calculations, common QA/testing activities, and the seven principles of software testing. The test cycle closure involves evaluating criteria for completion, preparing test metrics and reports, and delivering a test closure report and metrics. Test metrics include requirements, test cases, defects, and percentages for test execution results. QA activities involve requirements analysis, test case design, execution, defect reporting, and validation of the application's readiness. The seven principles emphasize early testing, finding defects, imperfect testing, context-based testing, avoiding pesticide paradox, and focusing on risky modules.

Test Cycle Closure

▪ Activities
– Evaluate cycle completion criteria based on Time, Test coverage, Cost, Software,
Critical Business Objectives , Quality
– Prepare test metrics based on the above parameters.
– Document the learning out of the project
– Prepare Test summary report
– Qualitative and quantitative reporting of quality of the work product to the customer.
– Test result analysis to find out the defect distribution by type and severity.

▪ Deliverables
– Test Closure report
– Test metrics

Test Metrics

▪ Defect Density: Number of defects identified per requirement/s


No.of defects found / Size(No. of requirements)
▪ Defect Removal Efficiency (DRE):
(A / A+B ) * 100
(Fixed Defects / (Fixed Defects + Missed defects) ) * 100
▪ A- Defects identified during testing/ Fixed Defects
▪ B- Defects identified by the customer/Missed defects
▪ Defect Leakage:
(No.of defects found in UAT / No. of defects found in Testing) * 100
▪ Defect Rejection Ratio:
(No. of defect rejected /Total No. of defects raised) * 100
▪ Defect Age: Fixed date-Reported date
▪ Customer satisfaction = No.of complaints per Period of time

QA/Testing Activities

▪ Understanding the requirements and functional specifications of the application.


▪ Identifying required Test Scenario’s.
▪ Designing Test Cases to validate application.
▪ Setting up Test Environment(Test Bed)
▪ Execute Test Cases to valid application
▪ Log Test results ( How many test cases pass/fail ).
▪ Defect reporting and tracking.
▪ Retest fixed defects of previous build
▪ Perform various types of testing’s in application.
▪ Reports to Test Lead about the status of assigned tasks
▪ Participated in regular team meetings.
▪ Creating automation scripts.
▪ Provides recommendation on whether or not the application / system is ready for
production.

7 Principles of Software Testing

1. Start software testing at early stages. Means from the beginning when you get the
requirements.
2. Test the software in order to find the defects.
3. Highly impossible to give the bug free software to the customer.
4. Should not do Exhaustive testing. Means we should not use same type of data for testing every
time.
5. Testing is context based. Means decide what types of testing should be conducted based on
type of application.
6. We should follow the concept of Pesticide Paradox. Means, if you are executing same cases for
longer run, they wont be find any defects. We have to keep update test cases in every
cycle/release in order to find more defects.
7. We should follow defect clustering. Means some of the modules contains most of the defects.
By experience, we can identify such risky modules. 80% of the problems are found in 20% of
the modules.
