Software testing

7. Hardware & Software Required
7.1 Window Based Software/Application Resources
 Window based applications need to be install on your machine to access. Window based application
don’t have validation controls. Window based programs are run through the operating system.
 Following are the some window based software resources that need a tester during testing.
 Test Item
 MS Excel.
 MS Office
 Paint.
 All Browsers.
 Jing.
 Screen Capture.
 IE Tester.
7.2 Web Based Software/Application Resources
 Web based application can be access from anywhere in the world. It is run on web server.web service
 and web sites are web based applications.web application uses the authentication and authorization
 process. It has validation control.web based programs are run through web browsers. Following are the some web based software resources that need a tester during testing.
 TCMS (Test Case management system).
 Google Docs.

7.3 Test Management tool:
 TestRail & MS Excel is used for management of test cases.

7.4 Bug Tracking Tools
It provides a communication between developer and tester. Tester reports the bug in Bug tracking tool. Following are some tools that are used for report the bugs. Tools are used by the company requirement. tools also have versions and patches.
 Mantis.

7.5 Automation Tools
In software testing, test automation is the use of special software (separate from the software being
 tested) to control the execution of tests. In which tester create a script once time and executed it more
 time. It saves the times and resource.  Using a test automation tool it’s possible to record test suite and
re-play it as required.
 Tools are used by the company requirement.
 Selenium.

7.6 Operating System
  Operating System is also used according to the requirement of the applications or websites.
 Window 7
 Window XP
 Linux (Fedora/Ubuntu)

7.7 Testing Server
 Testing servers are a useful addition to a website workflow because they provide a way to test new
pages and designs on a web server that is not visible to customers. A testing server is very useful for sites that use a lot of dynamic content, programming, or CGIs. This is because unless you have a server and
database set up on your local computer; it is very difficult to test these  pages offline. With a testing
 server, you can post your changes to the site and then see if the programs, scripts, or database still
works as you intended.
Companies that have a testing server typically add it to the workflow like this:
 Designer builds the site locally and tests locally, just like above.
 Designer or developer uploads changes to the testing server to test dynamic elements (PHP or other
server-side scripts ,CGI, and Ajax).
 Approved designs are moved to the production server.

7.8 Hardware Resources
 As per the requirement of application or website.
