The Real-Life Challenges in Functional Software Testing

1
The Real-Life Challenges in Functional Software
Testing

• Get quality of the software application through
  functional testing.

Functional Software Testing

• The augmenting complexities of the software
  applications and their increasing competitiveness
  have produced a need for a competent and
  exhaustive testing process.
• The most important criteria for any product is to
  launch the right product at the right time.
  Superior quality applications are anticipated to
  be developed and delivered within limited
  resources and limited schedules.
• This prerequisite of delivering more with less
  has carried forward numerous challenges for
  management of the quality of the software
  application through functional testing.
• Functional testing apprehends the requirements of
  the users and ensures that the software satisfies
  those requirements. The significance of
  functional testing rises with the rise in the
  complexities of the software.

Challenges in Functional Testing

• The complete functional software testing life
  cycle is guarded with numerous challenges and
  technical confinements which leads to the
  origination of strategies and the best practices
  to overcome these concerns.
• Functional testing starts with collecting the
  test requirements and undergoes designing and
  development tests, implementation of the tests
  into further examining of the product defects.

Lets take a deeper look into the challenges
associated with each stage of the functional
software testing.

• Collecting the test requirements
• Defining the complete test requirements clearly
• Implement the changes into the requirements.
• Planning the Test
• Functional breaches in the test plans
• Complications faced by the development team in
  reviewing the large test plans.

Lets take a deeper look into the challenges
associated with each stage of the functional
software testing.

• Strategizing Tests
• Deployment of the available resources
• Optimal test coverage
• Cover the various test configurations
• Deliver within time limit
• Execution of tests
• Struggle owing to mismatch between test plans and
  the basic functionality
• Time taken to set up the test environments and
  the wide set of subsidiary configurations.
• Time taken to resolve recurring issues.
• Obstructive issues in the functional areas.
• Re-planning the original plan.

Lets take a deeper look into the challenges
associated with each stage of the functional
software testing.

• Managing Defects
• Ambiguous and Incomplete reporting of the
  defects.
• Reporting inconsistencies for the same bug by
  different team members.
• Inappropriate severity or priority assignment to
  reports.
• Operator inaccuracies resulting in marking a
  defect as not a defect.
• Unsuitable procedure applied for verification of
  defect.
• Insufficient tracking of the defects.
• Inappropriate tracking of a defect disturbing the
  complete functionality of the software product.

• Reporting of the Test Results
• All-inclusive reports required for test results
  which are easily understandable by each and every
  person associated with the project.
• Required to provide feature-wise complete status
  report.
• Should provide a clear defect-wise data.
• The report should simplify the Go/No Go decision
  making for the product

Lets take a deeper look into the challenges
associated with each stage of the functional
software testing.

• Collection of Test Metrics, Scrutiny and
  Improvement
• Need for the mechanism to estimate the quality,
  efficiency of the testing process and further
  identification of the areas of improvement.
• Need for measuring the product and the program.
• It is not practically possible to test a product
  completely. The testing for a product depends on
  the testing competence of the team engaged. Due
  to the software complexities, the test
  requirements have also become huge. This requires
  widespread software and hardware configurations
  to be set up.
• Providing this configuration coverage is an equal
  challenge. Furthermore, it needs to be reflected
  that the time and resources in hand will remain
  limited always. Bearing all these facts, an
  efficient test management needs to be designed.

• Inference
• The quality of software is determined by the
  quality of the development process implemented.
• Likewise, the effectiveness of testing also
  depends on the quality of the testing processes
  used. This high paced advancement and
  under-strengthened projects have led to the
  occurrence of the automation tools.
