In this post I will describe Cyclomatic complexity in Software Testing and how to calculate code complexity using Cyclomatic complexity. I have included few examples to understand how the code complexity is calculated. Also, I have mentioned advantages of using Cyclomatic Complexity. Definition: Cyclomatic complexity (or conditional complexity) is a … [Read more...]
Bug Life Cycle and Severity Definitions In Software Testing
In this post, I will discuss about bugs, defects or deviations from expected functionality in software testing. I will describe Bug Life Cycle along with a flow chart and Bug Severity Definitions with different severity levels like Critical, High, Medium and Low with examples. I will also discuss on how to find bugs while testing. What is Bug? Bug is a … [Read more...]
Test Design, Policy Document And Standards In Test Analysis
In this post, I will describe test design document and test policy document. I will also discuss about Standards to be followed in Test Analysis and Design, Standard to be followed in Test case specifications (Test Case document) and why Standard is not followed in software testing documentation. What is Test Design? Test Design is a document which will be … [Read more...]

In this post, I will describe different types of Static and Dynamic Software testing techniques. Static testing techniques include Walkthrough, Technical Reviews, Inspection and Static Code Analysis. Dynamic testing techniques include Equivalence partitioning, Boundary Value Analysis, Error guessing, State Transition Testing … [Read more...]
What Is Software Testing Life Cycle And Phases In STLC
Software testing life cycle comprises of many testing related activities that will be carried out prior to development, during development and post development. Software testing life cycle helps in identifying what all test activities to be carried out and when to accomplish the testing activities. At every stage of development there will be a testing activity. There will not … [Read more...]
