Build: It is a number given to Installable software that is given to the testing team by the development team.

Release: It is a number given to Installable software that is handed over to the customer by the tester or developer.

Bug release is when software or an application is handed over to the testing team knowing that the defect is present in a release. During this the priority and severity of bug is low, as bug can be removed before the final handover.

Bug leakage is something, when the bug is discovered by the end users or customer, and not detected by the testing team while testing the software.

• Once the bug is identified by the tester, it is assigned to the development manager in open status
• If the bug is a valid defect the development team will fix it.
• If it is not a valid defect, the defect will be ignored and marked as rejected
• The next step will be to check whether it is in scope. If the bug is not the part of the current release then the defects are postponed
• If the defect or bug is raised earlier then the tester will assign a DUPLICATE status
• When bug is assigned to developer to fix, it will be given a IN-PROGRESS status
• Once the defect is repaired, the status will change to FIXED at the end the tester will give CLOSED status if it passes the final test.

Test case is a specific condition to check against the Application Under Test. It has information of test steps, prerequisites, test environment, and outputs.

The systematic and independent examination for determining the effectiveness of quality control procedures is known as the quality audit.

• Load Testing: Testing an application under heavy but expected load is known as Load Testing. Here, the load refers to the large volume of users, messages, requests, data, etc.
• Stress Testing: When the load placed on the system is raised or accelerated beyond the normal range then it is known as Stress Testing.
• Volume Testing: The process of checking the system, whether the system can handle the required amounts of data, user requests, etc. is known as Volume Testing.

The document that describes, the user action and system response, for a particular functionality is known as USE case. It includes revision history, table of contents, flow of events, cover page, special requirements, pre-conditions and post-conditions.

A thread testing is a top-down testing, where the progressive integration of components follows the implementation of subsets of the requirements, as opposed to the integration of components by successively lower levels.

It is a testing phase where the tester tries to break the system by randomly trying the system's functionality. It can include negative testing as well.

• The stub is called from the software component to be tested. It is used in top down approach
• The driver calls a component to be tested. It is used in bottom up approach
• It is required when we need to test the interface between modules X and Y and we have developed only module X. So we cannot just test module X but if there is any dummy module we can use that dummy module to test module X

To support testing during development of application following tools can be used

• Test Management Tools: JIRA, Quality Center etc.
• Defect Management Tools: Test Director, Bugzilla
• Project Management Tools: Sharepoint
• Automation Tools: RFT, QTP, and WinRunner

In software testing, Test Metric is referred to the standard of test measurement. They are the statistics narrating the structure or content of a testing. It contains information like

• Total test
• Test run
• Test passed
• Test failed
• Tests deferred
• Test passed the first time

Retesting is carried out to check the defects fixes, while regression testing is performed to check whether the defect fix have any impact on other functionality.

The rule of a Test Driven Development is to prepare test cases before writing the actual code. Which means you are actually be writing code for the tests before you write code for the application.

QA testing document should include

• List the number of defects detected as per severity level
• Explain each requirement or business function in detail
• Inspection reports
• Configurations
• Test plans and test cases
• Bug reports
• User manuals
• Prepare separate reports for managers and users

Software QA document should include

• Specifications
• Designs
• Business rules
• Configurations
• Code changes
• Test plans
• Test cases
• Bug reports
• User manuals, etc

Data driven testing is an automation testing framework, which tests the different input values on the AUT. These values are read directly from the data files. The data files may include csv files, excel files, data pools and many more.
