Some cloud based Mobile App for Manual as well as Automation Testing

What do you mean by Device cloud?

In simple word accessing mobile devices from a remote location. here you will get a feel of the virtual device but you are actually accessing real-time devices.

Testing in the cloud brings benefits of easy availability and high scalability. It allows testing on different environments and multiple machines without building own infrastructure.

It allocates the required resources using virtualization and also scales up resources anytime without affecting the entire system. The major advantage of using cloud-based device testing is that it is cost-effective and provides faster results.

Advantages:-

Cheaper - here you need a subscribe it and you can access a good list of devices in both platforms (iOS/Android)
Anyone can access those devices by anywhere by using the credentials.
You will be getting more no. of devices to do compatibility testing as an organisation getting all devices for the platform is not possible and involve a lot of Money.
We can also install the data in the Cloud.
Usually, most of the leading provider lists the latest devices in a span of 15 days to 2 Months (Max.) as per as the need and market share and demand.
Tester gets an array of devices, OS platforms, etc. to choose from thereby reducing the overall cost of infrastructure and maintenance.
It allows integration with team collaboration tools like JIRA and Slack etc.
It supports testing in a real-time environment with real network carriers (Low/high latency, 100% loss, Low network, etc.)
Also, it supports parallel testing where you can execute the concurrent test to saves a lot of time during the test cycle.

Disadvantages:-

Data Security - As you are using 3rd party Application so always a concern of security.
Performance - You will feel some lag in most of the leading Mobile cloud provider.
Connectivity- As you are accessing it through the internet so always need an internet connection. A low connection may result in the delay and you may not able to access the device.
Not able to connect external hardware.
The device camera gives a black/blank view.
Scanning some bar code or something.
Some Mobile cloud provider also not provide support to Push notification and Touch/Face id.

UNIX - As a Tester point of view

UNIX - As a Tester point of view

It covers below points:-

UNIX Overview
UNIX Types
Kernel, Shell and File and Processes.
UNIX Commands.
UNIX Commands example.
IT will contain maximum basics question for software tester related with UNIX Interview.

UNIX

UNIX is an operating system which was first developed in the 1960s, and has been under constant development ever since. By Operating system, we mean the suite of programs which make the computer work. It's a stable,multi-user, multi-Tasking system for servers, desktops and laptops.

UNIX systems also have a graphical user interface similar to Microsoft Windows which provides an easy to use environment. However, knowledge of UNIX is required for operations which aren't covered by a graphical program, or for when there is no windows interface available, e.g:- in a telnet session.

Types/Versions of UNIX
There are many different versions of UNIX, although they share common similarities. The most popular varieties of UNIX are Sun Solaris,GNU/Linux, and Mac OSX.

UNIX operating system is made up of three parts i.e:- The Kernel, The Shell and The Programs.

The Kernel

The kernel of UNIX is the hub of the operating system:- It allocates time and memory to programs and handles the file store and communications in response to system calls.
As an illustration of the way that the shell and the kernel work together, suppose a user types rm myfile (which has the effect of removing the file myfile). The shell searches the filestore for the file containing the program rm, and then request the kernel, through system calls, to execute the program rm on myfile. When the process rm myfile has finished running, the shell ten returns the UNIX prompt % to the user, indicating that it is waiting for further commands.

The shell

The shell acts as an interface between the user and the kernel,. When a user logs in, the login program checks the username and password, and then starts another program called the shell. The shell is a command line interpreter. It interprets the commands the user types in and arranges for them to be carried out. The commands are themselves programs: when they terminate, the shell gives the user another prompt (% on our systems).

The adept user can customize hie/her own shell, and user can use different shells on the same machine. Staff and students in school have the tcsh shell by default.

The tcsh shell has certain features to help the user inputting commands.Filename Completion:- By typing part of the name of command, filename or directory and pressing [Tab]key, the tcsh shell will complete the rest of the name automatically. If the shell finds more than one name beginning with those letters you have typed, it will beep, prompting you to type a few more letters before pressing the tab key again.

History - The shell keeps a list of commands you have typed in. If you need to repeat a command, use the cursor keys to scroll up and down the list or type history for a list of previous commands.

Files and Processes

Everything is UNIX is either a file or a process.

A process is an executing program identified by a unique PID (Process Identifier).

A file is a collection of data. They are created by users using text editors, running compilers etc.

Example of files:

a document (report, essay etc).
the text of a program written in some high-level programming language
instruction comprehensible directly to the machine and incomprehensible to a casual user, for example, a collection of binary digits (an executable or binary file);
a directory, containing information about its contents, which may be a mixture of other directories (sub-directories) and ordinary files.

The Directory Structure
All the files are grouped together in the directory structure. The file-system is arranged in a hierarchical structure, like an inverted tree. The top of the hierarchy is traditionally called root (written as a slash)

Some useful UNIX Commands

cat for creating and displaying short files
chmod change permissions
cd change directory
cp for copying files
date display date
echo echo argument
ftp connect to a remote machine to download or upload files
grep search file
head display first part of file
ls see what files you have
lpr standard print command
more use to read files
mkdir create directory
mv for removing and renaming files
ncftp especially good for downloading files via anonymous ftp.
print custom print command (see also lpr)
pwd find out what directory you are in
rm remove a file
rmdir remove directory
rsh remote shell
setenv set an environment variable
sort sort file
tail display last part of file
tar create an archive, add or extract files
telnet log in to another machine
wc count characters, words, lines

Examples of UNIX commands

cat

This is one of the most flexible UNIX commands. We can use to create, view and concatenate files. For our first example we create a three-item English-Spanish dictionary in a file called "dict."

%cat > dict

red rojo

green verde

blue azul

<control-D>

<control-D> stands for "hold the control key down, then tap 'd". The symbol >tells the computer that what is typed is to be put into the file dict. To view a file we use cat in different way:

% cat dict

red rojo

green verde

blue azul

If we wish to add text to an existing file we do this:

% cat >>dict

white blanco

black negro

<control-D>

Now suppose that we have another file tmp that looks like this:

% cat tmp

cat gato

dog perro

Then we can join dict and tmp like this:

% cat dict tmp>dict2

We could check the number of lines in the new file like this:

%wc -l dict2

The command wc counts things --- the number of characters, words, and line in a file.

chmod

This command is used to change the permissions of a file or directory. For exampe to make a file essay.001 readable by everyone, we need to do this:

%chmod a+r essay.001

To make a file, e.g; a shell script mycommand executable, we do this

%chmod +x mycommand

Now we can run mycommand as a command.

To check the permission of a file, use ls-l . For more information on chmod use man chmod.

Use cd to change directory. Use pwd to see what directory you are in.

%cd english

%pwd

% /u/ma/jeremy/english

% ls

novel poem

% cd novel

% pwd

% /u/ma/jeremy/english/novel

% ls

ch1 ch2 ch3 journal scrapbook

% cd..

% pwd

% /u/ma/jeremy/english

% cd poems

% cd

% /u/ma/jeremy

Jeremy began in his home directory, then went to his english sub-directory. He listed this directory using ls , found that it contained two entries, both of which happen to be directories. He cd'd to the directory novel, and found that he had gotten only as far as chapter 3 in his writting. Then he used cd.. to jump back one level. If had wanted to jump back one level, then go to poems he could have said cd../poems. Finally he used cd with no argument to jump back to his home directory.

Use cp to copy files or directories.

% cp foo foo.2

This makes a copy of the file foo.

% cp ~/poems/jabber.

This copies the file jabber in the directory poems to the current directory. The symbol "." stands for the current directory. The symbol "~" stands for home directory.

date

Use this command to check the date and time.

% date

echo

The echo command echoes its arguments. Here are some example.

% echo this

this

% echo $EDITOR

/usr/local/bin/enmacs

% echo $PRINTER

b129lab1

Things like PRINTER are so called environment variables. This one stores the name of the default printer -- the one that print jobs will go to unless you take some action to change things. The dollar sign before an environment variable is needed to get the value in the variable. Try the following to verify this:

% echo PRINTER

PRINTER

ftp

Use ftp to connect to a remote machine, then upload or download files. See also: ncftp

Example 1:- We'll connect to the machine fubar.net, then change the director to mystuff, then download the file homework11:

% ftp solitude

connected to fubar.net

220 fubar.net FTP server (version-------date time------) ready.

Name (solitude:carlson): jeremy

331 Password required for jeremy.

Password:

230 User jeremy logged in.

ftp> cd mystuff

250 CWD command successful.

ftp> get homework11

ftp> quit

Example 2:- We'll connect to the machine fubar.net, then change the director to mystuff, then upload the file collected-letters:

% ftp solitude

connected to fubar.net

220 fubar.net FTP server (version-------date time------) ready.

Name (solitude:carlson): jeremy

331 Password required for jeremy.

Password:

230 User jeremy logged in.

ftp> cd mystuff

250 CWD command successful.

ftp> put collected-letters

ftp> quit

The ftp program sends files in ascii(text) format unless you specify binary mode:

ftp> binary

ftp> put foo

ftp> ascii

ftp> get bar

The file foo was transferred in binary mode, the file bar was transferred in ascii mode.

grep

Use this command to search for information in a file or file. For example, suppose that we have a file dict whose contents are

red rojo

green verde

blue azul

white blanco

black negro

Then we can look up items in our file like this;

% grep red dict

red rojo

% grep blanco dict

white blanco

% grep brown dict

Notice that no output was returned by grep brown. This is because "brown" is not in our dictionary file.

Grep can also be conbined with other commands. For example, if one had a file of phone numbers named "ph", one entry per line, then the following command would give analphabetical list of all persons whose name contains the string "Fred".

% grep Fred ph | sort

Alpha, Fred:333-6565

Beta, Freddie: 656-0099

Frederickson, Molly: 444-0981

Gamma, Fred-George: 111-7676

Zeta, Frederick:431-0987

The symbol "|" is called "pipe." It pipes the output of the grep command into the input of the sort command.

For more info on grep, consult

% man grep

Tips For Writing a Good Bug Report

8 Tips For Writing a Good Bug Report

Unfortunately for developers, defect is an integral part of the software development process. The more efficient bug report, the more chances that defect will be fixed. Reporting a defect is a skill, so to become a pro in testing you need to achieve this skill.

I hope you will gain something after reading next tips.

1) Report the problem immediately

Don’t wait to write bug report late because you can miss the important details. If you found any defects while testing, report it immediately.

2) Clear title

Keep it short. It is very important to grasp the essence of the defect from the title. Also it will help the sys admin to find it through the large database for assigning to the correct developer.

3) One defect per report

No more, no less. A single bug in a report can help to avoid duplication and confusion. If you describe too many defects some of them may be overlooked.

4) Reproduce the bug before writing bug report

Make sure your actions lead to reproducing the bug without ambiguity. The defect should be reproducible.

5) Write a good bug summary

It will be easier for developer to analyze bug nature. Poor defect reports waste testing and development time.

6) Test the same defect occurrence on the few similar modules

Most of developers use the same code for different modules. It gives more chances that defect in one module occurs in other similar modules.

7) Read bug report carefully

Try to read thoughtfully bug report before hitting Submit button. Check if all of the phrases wrote implicit without ambiguity sense to avoid misinterpretation.

8) Don’t be rude

Use polite words in your report. You did really good job – had found the defect, but don’t criticize developer this way.

Most of the testers don’t like to write reports thinking it waste their time. But bug report is very important document and must be written in proper way. It connects tester, developer and manager. Writing a good bug report helps your company to save resources as well as create a good relationship between tester and developer.

Alpha, Beta and Gamma Testing

What are Alpha, Beta and Gamma Testing?

Alpha Testing:-
Alpha Testing is like performing usability testing, which is normally done by the in-house developers. On rare occasions Alpha Testing is done by the client or an outsider. Once the alpha testing version is released, it’s then called the Alpha Release.Generally we perform all testing types in alpha testing phase. Alpha testing phase ends with a feature freeze, indicating that no more features will be added to the software. Types of testing done by tester in Alpha phase includes Smoke testing, Integration Testing, System testing, UI and Usability testing, Functional Testing, Security Testing, Performance Testing, Regression testing, Sanity Testing and Acceptance Testing.

Beta Testing:-
Beta Testing is done by the number of the end users before delivery, the change request would be fixed if user gives the feedback or report defects. The Version Release after beta testing is called beta Release.Beta testing can be considered “pre-release testing”. Beta test versions of software are now distributed to a wide audience on the Web partly to give the program a “real-world” test and partly to provide a preview of the next release.The main objective behind the Beta testing is to get the feedback from the different groups of customers and check the compatibility of the product in different kind of networks and hardware.

Gamma Testing:-
Gamma Testing is done when software is ready for release with specified requirements, this testing done directly by skipping all the in-house testing activities. The software is almost ready for final release. No feature development or enhancement of the software is undertaken and tightly scoped bug fixes are the only code.Gamma check is performed when the application is ready for release to the specified requirements and this check is performed directly without going through all the testing activities at home.Gamma testing is the third level of testing, generally for safety. Unfortunately, Gamma testing is becoming a thing of the past, killed off by decreased time cycles, competitive pressure, and the myopic focus on quarterly profits.

Tamper Data :- Use it to view and modify HTTP/HTTPS headers and post parameters, to trace and time HTTP response/requests. You can security test web applications by modifying POST parameters.
HackBar :- This toolbar will help you in testing sql injections, XSS holes and site security. It is NOT a tool for executing standard exploits and it will NOT teach you how to hack a site. Its main purpose is to help a developer do security audits on his code.
XSS Me :- XSS-Me is used to test for reflected Cross-Site Scripting. The tool works by submitting your HTML forms and substituting the form value with strings that are representative of an XSS attack. The tool does not do port scanning, packet sniffing, password hacking or firewall attacks.
SQL Inject Me:- SQL Inject Me is used to test for SQL Injection vulnerabilities. The tool works by submitting your HTML forms and substituting the form value with strings that are representative of an SQL Injection attack. The tool sends database escape strings through the form fields. It then looks for database error messages that are output into the rendered HTML of the page.
Groundspeed :- Groundspeed allows input validation testing from the top-down, starting at the web application interface level instead from the HTTP protocol. Some of the practical uses of groundspeed include changing hidden fields, select drop down lists and other fields into text fields, removing size and length limitations on input fields and modifying JavaScript event handlers to bypass client side validation without actually removing it.
Netsparker Community Edition (Windows) :- This is the free-community edition of the powerful Netsparker which still comes with a bunch of features and also false-positive-free. 1The application can detect SQL Injection + cross-site scripting issues. Once a scan is complete, it displays the solutions besides the issues and enables you to see the browser view and HTTP request/response.
Websecurify (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) :- Websecurify is a very easy-to-use and open source tool which automatically identifies web application vulnerabilities by using advanced discovery and fuzzing technologies.

Watcher runs silently in the background and interact with the web-application to apply 30+ tests (where new ones can be added) while you browse. It will identify issues like cross-domain form POSTs, dangerous context-switching between HTTP and HTTPS, etc.
x5s (Windows) :- x5s is again a plugin for Fiddler just like Watcher which is designed to find encoding and character transformation issues that can lead to XSS vulnerability. It simply tests user-controlled input using special characters like <, >, ', and reviews how the output encodes the special characters.
WebScarab (Windows, Linux, Mac OS X) :- WebScarab is actually a proxy to sniff the HTTP(s) traffic and manipulate it. However, it comes with features like "parameter fuzzer (for testing XSS and SQL injection vulnerabilities), or "CRLF injection (HTTP response splitting)" and more.
