ISTQB - Mod. 6Test tool - answer A software product that supports one or more test activities
What are test tools used for? - answer Reconnaissance/Exploration
- could be a tool that monitors a file or system for certain activities occurring
Comparator / Test Execution
- a tool that enables comparison, for testing this will enable testers to see if a test
passes/fails by comparing actual and expected outcomes
Test Data Generation
- there are many tools that can be used for creating test data in large quantities rather
than having to create individual entries
Defect/Incident Management
Effect use of tools - answerEach tool may require additional effort to achieve real and
lasting benefits. There are potential benefit opportunities with the use of tools in testing,
but there are also risks.
Benefits of using Test Tools - answer- repetitive work is reduced
- greater consistency and repeatability
- better metrics and accurate test management info
- objective assessment
- ease of access to information about tests or testing
Risks of using Test Tools - answer- unrealistic expectations for the tool
- underestimating the time, cost and effort for the initial introduction
- underestimating the time and effort needed to achieve significant and lasting benefits
- underestimating the effort required to maintain the generated assets
Test Tools in the Fundamental Test Process - answerTest Planning and Control
- define test plans, organize and execute test runs, create reports and charts
Test Design and Analysis
- aids in creating test cases, make expected results
Test Implementation and Execution
- create test data and automated test suites using a test harness
Evaluating Exit Criteria
- checks test logs against the exit criteria and generates test summary reports
, Test Closure
- create final documents for maintenance team including test scripts, test reports
Test Harness (Test Framework) - answerReusable libraries of work (generally code)
that can be used to further enhance and build test tools. Often used for automated
testing whereby your framework will consist of general scripts and functionality that can
be used across a variety of different tests.
Tool Support for Testing - answerOne testing tool can be used to support one or more
testing activities:
- test management tools which automate execution of tests for products without GUIs
and also helps in managing test, data, result, defects, reports, etc.
- test design tools which helps to decide what tests need to be executed, test data and
test case generators
- static analysis tools which analyze programs without running them. Mostly used to find
defects from developer's code
- Load and performance tools that specialize in putting heavy load on systems
especially client-server system
Example Tools - answerWeb Testing Tools:
- Selenium, Watir, Windmill, Ronorex, Sahi
Performance Testing Tools:
- LoadView, Loadrunner, Loadster, LoadImpact, NeoLoad
Test Management Tools:
- qTest, PractiTest, Zephyr, JIRA, Xqual
Special Considerations for Some Types of Tools - answerTest Execution Tools
- most tools of this type get started by capturing or recording manual tests and playing it
back; this type of tool works on scripting language (data-driven scripts, keyword-driven
scripts)
Static Analysis Tools
- these tools are used by developers as a part of the development and component
testing process; the key aspect is that the code is not executed or run but the tool itself
is executed
Test Management Tools
- these tools are used for planning the testing activities and for storing the information
about the project and also reporting the status of the testing activities
