Test Manager

Testing whether software is compatible with other elements of a system with which it should operate, e.g. browsers, Operating Systems, or hardware.

Testing based on an analysis of internal workings and structure of a piece of software. Includes techniques such as Branch Testing and Path Testing. Also known as Structural Testing and Glass Box Testing. Contrast with Black Box Testing.

White box testing is used to test the internal logic of the code.for ex checking whether the path has been executed once, checking whether the branches has been executed at least once. Used to check the structure of the code.

The set of tests derived using basis path testing.

BVA is similar to Equivalence Partitioning but focuses on "corner cases" or values that are usually out of range as defined by the specification. his means that if a function expects all values in range of negative 100 to positive 1000, test inputs would include negative 101 and positive 1001.

★ Have the ability to withstand pressures and say 'no' to other managers when quality is insufficient or QA processes are not being adhered to

★ Have people judgment skills for hiring and keeping skilled personnel

★ Be able to communicate with technical and non-technical people, engineers, managers, and customers.

★ Be able to run meetings and keep them focused

★ Be familiar with the software development process

★ Be able to maintain enthusiasm of their team and promote a positive atmosphere, despite what is a somewhat 'negative' process (e.g., looking for or preventing problems)

★ Be able to promote teamwork to increase productivity

★ Be able to promote cooperation between software, test, and QA engineers

★ Have the diplomatic skills needed to promote improvements in QA processes

Answer may depend on the specific industry and company you work in. But in general, test managers are expected to be detail-oriented and effective team leaders. They need to manage testing personnel and be detail-oriented because there is no room for error in safety and quality testing.

You can give one or two concrete examples, like testing warehouse systems for proper packaging, testing booking and traveling procedures for air supply companies, or testing engines for emission standards in diesel-powered industries.

The manager hires and instructs testing personnel. Moreover, the testing manager communicates regularly with senior management, company staff, supplier end, and user end. Cross company employees are instructed on testing plans or testing results. Results are discussed in order to choose the subsequent production strategy. Users must be filled in on all these details to establish trust and cooperation. These exchanges of information can be done in the form of meetings and workshops, initiated and arranged by the testing manager.

Any risks (financial, material, or human) are documented with care in special journals which are then distributed among colleagues, senior management, and clients. Additional explanations are provided in specially arranged meetings. Any further consultation is granted, if required by any party involved.

Test management most commonly refers to the activity of managing the computer software testing process. A test management tool is software used to manage tests (automated or manual) that have been previously specified by a test procedure. It is often associated with automation software. Test management tools often include requirement and/or specification management modules that allow automatic generation of the requirement test matrix (RTM), which is one of the main metrics to indicate functional coverage of a system under test (SUT).

Effective software test managers not only understand the discipline of testing, but they are also able to manage and implement a testing process in their organizations. That requires team leading skills, communication skills, and being able to measure the testing team's return on investment.

Testing the features and operational behavior of a product to ensure they correspond to its specifications. Testing that ignores the internal mechanism of a system or component and focuses solely on the outputs generated in response to selected inputs and execution conditions. or Black Box Testing.

System Testing follows much the same course (Design, Implement, execute and defect) but the intent or focus is very different. While Functional Testing focuses on discrete functional requirements System Testing focuses on the flow through the system and the connectivity between related systems. For example testing to ensure the application allows the entry, activation, and recovery of a new forum member . in this case we are testing to ensure the system supports the business. There are several types of System Testing, what is required for any given release should be determined by the Scope.

★ Security

★ Performance

★ Integration

Retesting a previously tested program following modification to ensure that faults have not been introduced or uncovered as a result of the changes made.

Performance testing focused on ensuring the application under test gracefully handles increases in work load.

Checks for memory leaks or other problems that may occur with prolonged execution.

Black-box tests conducted once the software has been integrated.

An approach to integration testing where the component at the top of the component hierarchy is tested first, with lower level components being simulated by stubs. Tested components are then used to test lower level components. The process is repeated until the lowest level components have been tested.

Test which focus on the boundary or limit conditions of the software being tested. (Some of these tests are stress tests).
