Test Types

Test Types

Normal Data - Data that is within the normal range and will be accepted, for example testing a house number of 24 in a range of numbers. 

Extreme Data - Data that is on the extreme limits of the range but should be accepted e.g. if the validation says that price <=£100 then £100 should be tested as that is right at the outer limit.

Erroneous Data - Data that should fail should be tested. For the test mentioned previously, the test might be: enter £100.01

How could a tester evidence the tests they have done? 

To evidence testing a tester could take screenshots of them inputting the tests into the project and screenshot the results from this, evidencing the tests completed. The tester could also record a video of them going through each test, this will evidence the tests that they have completed and the results of this.

The tester would use a testing table to write in all their comments/results and add their their evidence of testing here also. This testing table would then be handed back to the developers/owner.
