What are the roles and Responsibilities of a Tester
the role of a tester starts by understanding the srs . After that analyse the requirements and then prepare the test scripts, test cases and test data. After that executing the test cases on software under testing(SUT), finding the defects in SUT and forwarding them to the defect tracking team (DTT)and participating in the reviews
What is the difference between Testing & Validation?
Testing is nothing but verification & validation of a SUT
Validation means applying Unit Testing, Integration Testing, Software Testing, Acceptence and release testing on SUT
Regression Testing?
Testing is done to make sure that new code changes should not have effects on the existing functionality of the application.Normally we do regression testing to make sure that New functionality will not affect the Unchanged module(Existing module).
i mean to say by Adding or Implementing new Feature,Existing functionality will not stop, to make sure new feature is integrated properly with existing feature we do Regression testing.
