Determining how long it will take to test.

When it comes to estimating the amount of time a project will take one must consider the subproblem, how much time will it take to properly test the code. This turns out to be a very difficult task. There are so many variables that influence testing time.

One of the large factors in determining how long it will take to test a particular project is the team. How large is the testing team? How often does the team work together? Do members come and go? What is the skill level of each of the members? Is this the teams only task? All of these questions affect how efficiently a testing team can work together which in turn can help determines how long testing will take.

Another large factor in figuring out testing time is the complexity of the code. Obviously the more complex the code the more complex the testing process. Some programs just need to be tested to show the can take in a set of data and properly process it. Other programs have many possible paths though the code and each one must be tested.

The quality of the code that needs testing plays a role in the testing process as well. If the development team produces high quality code that is not laden with bugs the test process can move faster, but if there are many errors in the code the test team may be held up as the developers work out the bugs or will need to take the time to correct the errors them selves.

You must also keep in mind the importance of an error free program and the consequences of errors. Based on the answers to these questions you can determine what level of coverage is required. If the code is for a piece for medical equipment or part of a flight control system the consequences can be very severe. Cases like these obviously demand much more attention than the code for, say, a video game.

To actually start putting a number on the time for testing, it is a good idea to start logging data for each project. This data can then be looked at to help predict future projects. It can also help to show areas where the process can be bettered which will lead to a more efficient process and shorted estimates.

How can SQL help your testing abilities? (Week 5)

The reports that SQL can generate transforms raw information into useful data also can be used as a tool that can help to refine your testing abilities. The methods that SQL provide can help perfect the skills of programmers. The methods help to get correct results  when we testing back-end applications.SQL is a parent-child relationship schema that allows information to be accessible and allows to minimize discrepancies across data which create reliable output tables.The tables with columns and rows that build up the records of employment can help the End user have a interactive graphical Interface. The interactive graphical interface it can help the users to make changes. SQL is used in a variety of testing tools; the tools that are used mostly to select information that is relevant and can provide insight into the business practices. Some of the automation tools that is used to create a quality product are QTP and Selenium. QTP provides functional test automation for software applications and environments and Selenium is a free (open source) automated testing suite, Selenium is used to test web applications. Both tools use different languages QTP  run on Java and Selenium runs on VBscript. There are some global statements that are used from SQL one of the statements is the sorted procedure. The advantage of Sorted procedure is that it can minimize work and it can decrise the amount of time it requires for testing by preventing reniventing the wheel. SQL have more capabilities available, which makes it helpful tool when we have to verify data.If we use these methods we can get better testing results.
