5 Quick checklist for testing a new S/W(feature)

Testing a new software is not simple as you think, you need to be load up yourself with all requirements and think all possible scenario. Now we will create a checklist for testing. before this just have a look at What is Software Testing and how it is done in the real world?

#Check List:-

1. Read and Understand all requirement: First of all, go to the person who is responsible for requirements or you can go to the project manager or your team lead and discuss all points and ask queries don’t let it be in your mind.
2. Make a test plan: After understanding all requirements make a plan in which you should decide the time estimation to test your scenario and set priorities for different-different functionalities and then start your testing one by one(feature by feature).
3. Execute test cases: Start your plan and execute your test cases one by one and try to find all critical bugs in the first round of testing. always take a screenshot of intermediate bug and highlight it to your test lead. After a round of testing don’t forget to do negative testing, try to find some negative use cases which are resulting in failure.
4. Discuss with the developer for impacts: It's very good way to find bad impacts of a new feature on other functionality, just discuss with the developer(or your test lead) and make a list which sections or features are directly or indirectly may be impacted, while sanity testing it would help you.
5. Revise your scenario: After a round of bug fixing when you get your final build, don't forget to revise your all scenario of new features. you can take a copy of build in QA environment so that if some issue comes to the production you can compare it and you may know it was missed or some environment issue.

Software testing is very interesting task just keep finding new scenario and break the code ;)
