Knowledge Point 1: What is smoke testing? What is the purpose of smoke testing
1. What is smoke testing?
Smoke Testing refers to a simple verification test of the product or system for each version or each requirement change, before the formal test, verifying whether the "basic functions" process of the product or system is normal. (We can understand the smoke test as a "pretest" before performing the formal test,)
2. What is the purpose of the smoke test?
The purpose is to confirm that the basic functions of the software are normal and that subsequent formal testing can be carried out.
(If the smoke test fails, you do not have to perform the following test)
Knowledge Point 2: What is regression testing? What is the purpose and process of regression testing?
1. What is regression testing?
Regression testing: refers to the re-testing of the old code after modifying (in other words, "when a new version is released"), which then verifies that the defect has been properly fixed, and whether the system changes affect the previous functions.
(The "regression test" is a more common expression: after the new version is released, the previous functions of testing are still normal, and at the same time, it is necessary to verify whether the modified defects are normal.)
2. What is the purpose of regression testing?
The purpose of regression testing: Verify that the defect has been properly fixed, and at the same time, it has no impact on the system changes.
3. At which stage does regression testing occur?
Regression testing can occur at any stage.
4. What is the process of regression testing?
1. First, in the "test strategy formulation" stage, formulate a "regression testing strategy".
2. Determine the new version that needs to be tested for regression.
3. When the regression test version is released, perform regression testing according to the regression testing strategy.
4. If the regression test passes, close the defect tracking order.
5. If the regression test fails, the defect tracking order will be returned to the developer. The developer re-modifies the existing problems or defects. After the developer completes the modification, submits it to the tester for regression testing.
(Attachment:
1. Regression testing refers to repeating all or part of the previous same test.
2. Regression testing, as an integral part of the software life cycle, occupies a large proportion of workload in the entire software testing process. Regression testing will be conducted multiple regression testing at each stage of software development. )
