Software Testing

๐Ÿ•ต๏ธ Digital Detective

Testing is like being a detective who investigates software to find bugs and ensure everything works correctly.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like checking your homework to find and fix mistakes before turning it in!

๐Ÿ“

Test Cases

๐Ÿ“ Recipe Instructions

Test cases are step-by-step instructions that tell you exactly how to test a feature, like a recipe.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like having a checklist of things to try when testing a new video game!

๐Ÿ›

Bug/Defect

๐Ÿ› Broken Toy

A bug is when software doesn't work as expected, like a toy that's broken or missing pieces.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like when your favorite app crashes or doesn't do what you want it to do!

๐Ÿค–

Automation Testing

๐Ÿค– Robot Helper

Automation is like having robots that can test software for you automatically, running the same tests over and over.

๐Ÿ‘ถ For Kids: Like having a robot that plays your video game to check if it works properly!

๐ŸŽฏ Types of Testing You'll Master

Different ways to ensure software quality and reliability

๐ŸŽฏ

Functional Testing

Testing if the software does what it's supposed to do

Examples:
  • Login functionality
  • Calculator operations
  • Search features
  • Form submissions

๐Ÿ’ก Like checking if a vending machine gives you the right snack when you put in money

โšก

Performance Testing

Testing how fast and efficient the software runs

Examples:
  • Page load speed
  • Response time
  • System capacity
  • Memory usage

๐Ÿ’ก Like timing how fast you can run or how many people can fit in an elevator

๐Ÿ”’

Security Testing

Testing if the software is safe from hackers and unauthorized access

Examples:
  • Password protection
  • Data encryption
  • Access controls
  • Vulnerability scanning

๐Ÿ’ก Like checking if your house locks work and windows are secure

๐Ÿ‘ค

Usability Testing

Testing if the software is easy and pleasant to use

Examples:
  • User interface
  • Navigation flow
  • Error messages
  • Accessibility

๐Ÿ’ก Like asking if a toy is fun and easy to play with

๐ŸŒ

Compatibility Testing

Testing if the software works on different devices and browsers

Examples:
  • Different browsers
  • Mobile devices
  • Operating systems
  • Screen sizes

๐Ÿ’ก Like checking if your DVD plays on different TV brands

๐Ÿ”—

API Testing

Testing the connections between different software components

Examples:
  • Data exchange
  • Service integration
  • Response validation
  • Error handling

๐Ÿ’ก Like testing if two LEGO sets can connect together properly

Automated Web Test with Selenium

JavaScript

const { Builder, By, until } = require('selenium-webdriver');

describe('Login Tests', function() {
    let driver;
    
    beforeEach(async function() {
        // Setup browser driver
        driver = await new Builder().forBrowser('chrome').build();
        await driver.get('https://example.com/login');
    });
    
    afterEach(async function() {
        // Clean up after each test
        await driver.quit();
    });
    
    it('should login successfully with valid credentials', async function() {
        // Find and fill username field
        const usernameField = await driver.findElement(By.id('username'));
        await usernameField.sendKeys('testuser');
        
        // Find and fill password field  
        const passwordField = await driver.findElement(By.id('password'));

        // Click login button
        const loginButton = await driver.findElement(By.id('login-btn'));
        await loginButton.click();

        expect(messageText).to.equal('Welcome, testuser!');
        
        console.log('โœ… Login test passed!');
