Three Three

1.Differences between smoke,sanity,regression and Retesting???

SMOKE TESTING: TESTING DONE TO CHECK WHETHER THE BUILT  RELEASED IS STABLE ENOUGH FOR FURTHUR TESTING OR NOT  SO THIS IS THE FIRST IN OUR LIST.

RETESTING: ONCE THE BUG IS FIXED THEY RETEST THE FEATURE TO VERIFY THE BUG IS STILL PRESENT OR NOT.SO THIS WILL COME 2ND IN LINE.

REGRESSION TESTING:TO VERIFY THE BUG FIX DINT EFFECT
ALREADY WORKING FEATURES. SO THIS ID 3RD IN THE LINE

SANITY:IN MOST COMPANIES SMOKE/SANITY USE AS ONE BUT

SANITY TESTING IS TO VERIFY THE APPLICATION WHICH THEY R
GONNA RELESE SOON IS  STABLE WHITOUT ANY CRITICAL BUG.

DIFF BETWWEN SMOKE AND SANITY IS THE TIME THEY R TESTED.

2.Entry and Exit criteria?
Entry Criteria:
1 All code of application, unit tested.
2 Test plan, test cases reviewed and approved.
3 QA/Tester get significant knowledge of application.
4 Test environment/test ware get prepared.
5 After getting application build.
Exit Criteria:
Deadlines (release deadlines, testing deadlines, etc.)
Test cases completed with certain percentage passed
Test budget depleted
Coverage of code/functionality/requirements reaches a
specified point
Bug rate falls below a certain level
Beta or alpha testing period ends.
