Application Testing Practice Exam

About Application Testing
Application testing refers to the process of testing any software application using scripts, tools, or any test automation frameworks in order to identify errors. It helps teams release bug-free and robust software applications into the real world. It also enables teams to identify bugs in the early stages of development and save development time.

Application testing is carried out in two phases – Frontend or User Interface testing and Backend testing that verifies the database behavior.

In Software Engineering, Application testing can be done in various categories like GUI, functionality, database (backend), load test, etc.
For Application Testing, the testing lifecycles involve various phases which include requirement analysis, test planning, test analysis, test design, test execution & bug reporting, etc.

Why is Application Testing important?
Testing is required for an effective performance of software application or product. It's important to ensure that the application should not result into any failures because it can be very expensive in the future or in the later stages of the development.

Application Testing is important as it addresses several major problems:
•    It confirms that all the declared functional requirements have been implemented;
•    It gives confidence in the quality of the final product;
•    It confirms that the application has no errors in the code;
•    It verifies how the user can work with the application and ensures that the end product is easy to use;
•    It ensures that stored and processed data is protected from unauthorized access and hacking;
•    It confirms that the application is able to operate in all the required conditions and on all supported operating systems or web browsers correctly.

Who should take the Application Testing Exam?
•    Software testing or QA professionals
•    Anyone who wants to assess their software testing skills
•    Software testing or QA managers and senior executives
•    Professionals working in outsourced companies responsible for software testing or QA
•    Software testing or QA consultants
