Software Testing

In this blog I tried to explain about security testing and Types with Example: What is Security Testing? Security Testing is defined as a type of Software Testing that ensures software systems and applications are free from any vulnerabilities, threats, risks that may cause a big loss. Security testing of any system is about finding all possible loopholes and weaknesses of the system which might result into a loss of information, revenue, repute at the hands of the employees or outsiders of the Organization. The goal of security testing is to identify the threats in the system and measure its potential vulnerabilities, so the system does not stop functioning or is exploited. It also helps in detecting all possible security risks in the system and help developers in fixing these problems through coding. Types of Security Testing: There are seven main types of security testing as per Open Source Security Testing methodology manual.  They are explained as follows: Vu...

Docker: I spent a day to understand what is Docker and its architecture and the purpose of using it, also how it relates with testing. Docker is a new word to me, so took time to process it in my mind.  Docker   is an open platform for developing, shipping, and running applications by using containers Containers is the execution environment for Docker that allows a developer to package up an application with all of the parts it needs, such as libraries and other dependencies, and ship it all out as one package.  In one of the article, they relates Docker with actual physical containers we use for shipping/transport any goods, which gave me bit of idea to visualise about Docker.  In high level, it gives me the feel that it is mainly useful for the Developer for their code packaging, build and deployment and then testing. Many in the internet relating the Container with Virtual Machine and tell why they prefer container than VM.  Visual expl...

Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) Hello, I am here to share my understanding of what is STLC with my little knowledge and how I relate the STLC with the real time situation we see day to day. As I believe strongly when we correlate the things with real time situation, we understand it in better way and could explain to others easily.                                                                Requirement Review: In my understanding, there is no project without requirements. So we as a Tester we should know the requirements and have good understanding of it. Therefore, the Requirement Review phase is where we should go thru the requirements, understand it. Any unclear requirements are should be cleared at this stage. I would like to correlate this phase with the real time scenario, for example the...
