Definitions: - WSDL is an XML-based language. - WSDL is used to define the Web Services and also it describes how to access them. - WSLD is an XML format for describing the network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented Read More

SOAP Definition: SOAP is often thought of as a protocol extension for doing Remote Procedure Calls (RPC) over HTTP. - This is how it is often used. This is not accurate: SOAP is an XML message format for exchanging structured, typed data. - It may be used for RPC in client-server Read More

What is Concurrent Programming?The answer is obvious: executing multiple tasks (or work units) in parallel. While true parallelism doesn’t occur on a single core computer (instead, the CPU switches between tasks), on systems with multi-CPUs (and multi-cores in each CPU), true parallelism is Read More

Why desktop application can’t be integrated in server-side?However, what if we need such the same thing, but as a web service running in server-side for massive users, it would be tricky and even impossible to implement, because desktop applications are not suitable to run in server environment Read More

Web is Stateless, which means a new instance of the web page class is re-created each time the page is posted to the server. As we all know HTTP is a stateless protocol, it can’t hold the client information on page. If user inserts some information, and move to the next page, that data will be Read More

The Azure™ Services Platform (Azure) is an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers, which provides an operating system and a set of developer services that can be used individually or together. Azure’s flexible and interoperable platform can be used to build Read More

You would have tested software applications or web applications manually, so you might be aware of the drawbacks of manual testing. Manual testing is time consuming, tedious and requires heavy investment in human resources.Time constraints often make it impossible to manually test every feature Read More

Verification 1. Verification represents static testing techniques. 2. Verification ensures that the software documents comply with the organisations standards, it is static analysis technique. 3. Verification answers the question “Is the Software build according to the Read More

Test summary report is a document which contains summary of test activities and final test results.After the testing cycle it is very important that you communicate the test results and findings to the project stakeholders so that decisions can be made for the software release. i.e. If further Read More

Reporting test execution results is very important part of testing, whenever test execution cycle is complete, tester should make a complete test results report which includes the Test Pass/Fail status of the test cycle. If manual testing is done then the test pass/fail result should be captured Read More

Maintenance Testing is done on the already deployed software. The deployed software needs to be enhanced, changed or migrated to other hardware. The Testing done during this enhancement, change and migration cycle is known as maintenance testing.Once the software is deployed in operational Read More

In the current scenario of the global marketplace, it is very important to make software products which are sensitive to the different location and cultural expectations of users around the world. Most non-English-speaking customers have operating system in their native language and they expect Read More

As the name suggests exploratory testing is about exploring more into the software and finding about the software. In exploratory testing tester focuses more on how the software actually works, testers do minimum planning and maximum execution of the software by which they get in depth idea about Read More

Confirmation testing is also known as re-testing.Confirmation Testing is done to make sure that the tests cases which failed in last execution are passing after the defects against those failures are fixed. For Example: Suppose you were testing some software application and you found defects in Read More

When there are some minor issues with software and a new build is obtained after fixing the issues then instead of doing complete regression testing a sanity is performed on that build. You can say that sanity testing is a subset of regression testing. Sanity testing is done after thorough Read More

Smoke testing is done for the software in order to verify that the software is stable enough for further testing. it has a collection of written tests that are performed on the software prior to being accepted for further testing. Smoke testing “touches” all areas of the application without Read More

Beta Testing is done after alpha testing. Testing done by the potential or existing users, customers and end users at the external site without developers involvement is know as beta testing. It is operation testing i.e. It tests if the software satisfies the business or operational needs of the Read More

Alpha Testing is done to ensure confidence in the product or for internal acceptance testing, alpha testing is done at the developers site by independent test team, potential end users and stakeholders. Alpha Testing is mostly done for COTS(Commercial Off the Shelf) software to ensure internal Read More

Performance Testing is done to determine the software characteristics like response time, throughput or MIPS (Millions of instructions per second) at which the system/software operates. Performance Testing is done by generating some activity on the system/software, this is done by the performance Read More
