What is your typical day at work? (company XYZ)
My working day begins with a scrum meeting (scrum team is participating in the scrum meeting)
- 15-20 minutes
1 What was done yesterday?
2 What we are planning on doing today?
3 Any blockers (showstopers) we might have?
After the meeting I get to Jira and work on my tasks. My typical tasks are:
- Verify fixed bugs
- Create test cases
- Update test cases
- Executing test cases
- Regression testing
- Build acceptance testing
* Report bugs (no task in Jira for)
How do you see yourself in 5 years?
- I am QA career minded, want to be senior level skillful QA professional
Want to grow in QA as professional
What is Regression testing?
- Making sure that nothing got broken as a result of modifications made to the source code
- the second most frequently executed test (after build acceptance test)
- perfect candidate for automation
What is build acceptance testing? (sanity check, smoke test)
- purpose: make sure that the compilation happend without major problems
- if passed - the build is good enough to go to QA
- HOW IT IS DONE: superficial testing of major functions for catastrophic issues
- the most frequently executed test - #1 candidate for automation
What is usability testing?
Evaluating a software application by testing it with representative users. Participants are asked to complete typical tasks while observers watch, listen and take notes.
What is user acceptance testing?
- The very last test done before software is given to THE customer
- it is not done by company QA team - it might be facilitated/organized by QA
- it is done by SMEs (subject matter experts: managers, business analysts) on behalf of users
- BETA-testing will be done for open market applications
