Software Testing Heuristics and mnemonics.

Software Testing Heuristics Heuristics are simply experience-based techniques for problem-solving, learning, and discovery. Where an exhaustive search is impractical, heuristic methods are used to speed up the process of finding a satisfactory solution. Examples of this method include using a rule of thumb, an educated guess, an intuitive judgment, or common sense. When you face a problem, you try some solutions that may work. For instance, if you suddenly find your mobile hang, what do you do? You may restart your mobile first. If that doesn’t work, then you may check & update the latest software and uninstall suspicious apps.if that also doesn’t work, then you reset your phone setting ( Factory reset). Most of us try a number of steps to solve our problems. These steps may not always work but we try them because we know that they may work. Following heuristics can apply to absolutely any kind of system with any kind of interface. 1.Abstract Remove details in a model. S...

Blog # 9: Say Hello to Alerts! Handling Dialog Boxes in Playwright

Alerts and dialogs are common elements in web applications that can interrupt automated test flows if not handled properly. Playwright provides straightforward methods to manage these interruptions, ensuring your tests run smoothly. In this guide, I’ll share how I learned handling three types of dialogs—simple alerts, confirmation boxes, and prompts—using Playwright’s built-in features. Why Handle Dialogs? Dialogs often appear during critical user interactions, such as form submissions, error notifications, or data input requests. If ignored, they can cause tests to freeze or fail. Playwright’s dialog-handling capabilities allow you to: Validate dialog messages. Accept, dismiss, or respond to prompts programmatically. Keep tests resilient and predictable. Let’s explore how to tackle each type of dialog. 1. Simple Alerts: The One-Way Notification A simple alert is a basic pop-up with an "OK" button. Example Scenario : A basic alert appears, shouting, "I am an alert box!...

A Beginner's Guide to Playwright Testing with JavaScript: 4- A Deep Dive into Playwright Assertions

Ever spent hours debugging a test only to realize you forgot to check if a button was actually clickable? In web testing, the devil's in the details—and that's where assertions become your best friend. Let's explore how Playwright's assertion library can transform your testing strategy, using the popular The Internet testing playground. Why Assertions Matter Assertions are the backbone of any meaningful test. They're the checkpoints that scream, "This works!" or "Something's broken here!" Playwright's built-in expect library shines when testing real-world scenarios like authentication flows and dynamic content. Let's Start Testing: A Real-World Scenario We'll be testing key features of The Internet playground. Here's our foundation: Now let's add powerful assertions. Validating Content: Is What You See What You Get? 1. Page Titles: Your First Line of Defense Verify you're on the correct page immediately after na...

What is Agile?

Recently I did a presentation after almost 20 years at a Bootcamp showcase on Agile. As Agile celebrated its 20th anniversary this year I decided to talk on what Agile is? Below are the few drops from Agile's ocean which I managed to pour during my showcase. What is Agile Software Development? Agile is a time boxed, iterative approach to software delivery that builds software incrementally from the start of the project, instead of trying to deliver it all at once near the end. It works by breaking projects down into little bits of user functionality called user stories, prioritizing them, and then continuously delivering them in short time cycles called iterations. In iterative development, feature code is designed, developed and tested in repeated cycles. With each iteration, additional features can...

Risk Storming for Vending Machine

In the 4th session of Testing Bootcamp Beth Marshall introduced us to a very interesting game of Risk Storming. It's a collaborative and visual technique for identifying risk and planning the Test Strategy accordingly .You can use a Test Sphere card deck from Ministry of Testing or go to https://riskstormingonline.com/ Risk Storming takes you through three phases to get the answers. Which quality aspects matter most for your product? What risks could impact these important aspects? How can you test to make sure those risks don’t happen? Our task was to risk storming to test the Vending Machine . And here is my take on it. Quality Aspect Functionality Does it accept and return both coin and cash correctly? BOUNDARY VALUE TESTING Does it drop the selected product correctly? INTEGRATION TESTING , BUSINESS SCENARIOS , PURPOSE Is the k...

What is Quality

✨ What is Quality? Quality means different things to different people. For some, the brand Apple 🍏 is synonymous with quality. For others, it’s difficult to define quality, but surprisingly easy to recognize based on their experiences. A quality product or service is one that satisfies customer needs and meets (or even exceeds!) their expectations. When you receive quality, in whatever form, you're eager to get more. You want to return for another purchase, refer the product to friends, and talk about it publicly. Quality is what we should aim for to ensure returning customers and a strong brand as a company. According to IEEE , quality is defined as “The degree to which a component, system, or process meets specified requirements and/or user/customer needs and expectations.” 📈 👥 Who is Responsible for Software Quality? Everyone involved in a software project—including the Product Owner , Scrum Master , Developer , Tester , and other stakeholders such as the Business ...
