Test data generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate synthetic test data based on specific scenarios or requirements. For instance, it can generate test data that simulates specific user interactions or system responses to validate the functionality of a software application.<\/p>\t<\/li>\t

Test case generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate test cases based on specific requirements or test scenarios. However, the effectiveness of this approach will depend on the quality of the input data provided to the model and the level of detail required for the test cases.<\/p>\t<\/li>\t

Test script automation: ChatGPT can be used to automate test scripts for repetitive tasks, such as test data creation or validation. This can help speed up the testing process and improve the efficiency of the testing team.<\/p>\t<\/li><\/ol>

Having listed the above benefits, It is important to note that while ChatGPT can help in testing activities, it is not a replacement for human testers. People will start thinking that this can replace them and take their jobs. However, It is still necessary to have human testers who can validate the results generated by the model and provide context and domain knowledge that may not be captured by the model.<\/p>

I want to ask a question that is both simple and complex to answer: How do you write your test cases?<\/p>

Well I mean according to some definitions testers write test cases and since they do it often it should be easy. Also there is a ton of information online on how to write a test case, what should it contain, so again, easy and simple.<\/p>

Why do I say it is complex?
Well, a PM once told me that the tests should be written in such a way that a person coming from the street should be able to run them. I mean that is not impossible to do but it will take time, a lot of time. One has to find a way to explain concepts that are not really in the day to day dictionary ( API for example).<\/p>

Lean Software Development is an agile software development methodology that focuses on reducing waste and maximizing value delivery to customers. It is based on the principles of the Toyota Production System and emphasizes continuous improvement, teamwork, and customer focus.<\/p>

In Lean Software Development, testing is an integral part of the development process. Testing is not considered a separate phase but is instead integrated throughout the development cycle. This is because Lean Software Development emphasizes the need for continuous feedback and continuous improvement, which can only be achieved through continuous testing.<\/p>

Testing in Lean Software Development is carried out in various forms, including unit testing, acceptance testing, and exploratory testing. Test automation is also an essential component of Lean Software Development, as it helps to reduce waste and improve efficiency. Automated testing helps to detect defects early in the development process, which reduces the cost of rework and improves the overall quality of the software.<\/p>

How familiar are you with stress testing? \ud83e\uddd0 Let\u2019s have an overview! In this article, we will discuss what it is, why we should perform it, a good strategy, and some pros and cons. You will also be provided with a list of tools to perform it. So let\u2019s get started!<\/p>

What Is Stress testing?<\/strong><\/h2>

Stress testing is one of the non-functional testing types of performance testing. Stress testing is performed to determine the reliability and effectiveness of a machine, program, or network under unfavorable conditions \ud83d\udd27<\/p>

Unfavorable conditions cover running some high-processing applications on a single machine at the same time, flooding a server with numerous requests, making concurrent attempts to access a single website, DoS attacks, etc. This type of testing is generally done on critical software but can be used as per the requirement.<\/p>

Stress testing focuses on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load rather than on what is the behavior under normal situations. It is performed to ensure that the system does not completely crash under heavy traffic, and if it happens, the software can recover as soon as possible.<\/p>

To cut a long story short, you need to put some \u2018stress\u2019 on a machine, program, or network to find out whether it survives and recovers from it or not.<\/p>

Why Stress Testing?<\/strong><\/h2>

Let\u2019s look at a few examples to understand the importance of stress testing. Consider the following cases:<\/p>

• A live-streaming site may witness a spike in traffic during excellent football league matches<\/li>\t
• Flight booking websites are flooded with booking requests during festive seasons<\/li>\t
• Spike in traffic on e-commerce sites during Black Friday sales<\/li><\/ul>

  Heavy traffic on the sites or programs can occur at any point in time. It is a must to accommodate such traffic. If the program or site fails to make room for such traffic, it may result in a loss of revenue and reputation.<\/p>

  Reasons to Performe It<\/strong><\/h3>

  • To recognize whether the system can handle heavy traffic or not<\/li>\t
  • To inspect proper error handling while the system is under stress<\/li>\t
  • To potentially avoid enormous revenue loss caused by system failures<\/li>\t
  • To identify the breakpoint of the system<\/li><\/ul>

    Stress testing should not only be considered for web apps, but also for native apps for the commonly used features.<\/p>

    Stress Testing\u00a0<\/strong>Strategy<\/strong><\/h2>

    Start with identifying the scenarios, and functionalities that would be having heavy traffic and may break the system \ud83d\udd0e Then identify the performance criteria i.e. identify the maximum and minimum load that the system can experience on a given day.<\/p>

    Use 3\u20134 different computer systems for testing with different memory settings, processors, etc. Then prepare realistic data that\u2019s similar to the production environment to perform the stress tests. To execute the stress tests, use any tool to create the concurrent requests for identified functionalities.<\/p>

    Try to get the value of the breakpoint, the value below the breakpoint, and the value above the breakpoint. Also try to stress test with a\u00a0slow network<\/a>\u00a0as well. Perform the same tests multiple times and then come to the conclusion for the breakpoint of the system.<\/p>

    Lastly, try to identify the behavior of the system at the breaking point. Whether the system can handle a few of the features like logging in, performing some action, etc., or is it not able to handle any requests at all.<\/p>

    Things to monitor\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

    • Error logs<\/strong>\u2013 Number of errors generated while performing stress testing.<\/li>\t
    • CPU usage<\/strong>\u2013 CPU usage should be monitored. If it reaches 100 percent then we can say that the server is under heavy traffic.<\/li>\t
    • Memory usage<\/strong>\u2013 Memory usage during stress testing is used to identify whether the application, program or service consumes appropriate memory.<\/li>\t
    • Database connections<\/strong>\u2013 This observation helps to identify if any unnecessary database connections are open during stress testing. It should be maintained during the load.<\/li>\t
    • Response time of requests<\/strong>\u2013 This inspection is required to check whether the program is able to return the response within the expected time during the load.<\/li>\t
    • Disk I\/O speed, transfer and read\/write ratios<\/strong>\u2013 Disk I\/O reads and writes much slower than memory does. It is better to observe these stats since slow I\/O operations can affect the entire system.<\/li>\t
    • Network I\/O speed, and transfer packet size<\/strong>\u2013 Read and write operation on network data is similar to the disk I\/O. This stat should be observed during the stress tests because of the uncertainties of the network.<\/li>\t
    • The most resource consuming processes<\/strong>\u2013 Normally this stat is observed to identify which process consumes most of the resources. This can be monitored by the task manager.<\/li><\/ul>

      Stress Testing\u00a0<\/strong>Advantages<\/strong><\/h2>

      \u2705 Can prevent business loss, which might happen if the software is not capable enough to handle huge traffic.<\/p>

      \u2705 Stress testing can help determine that the software would work in normal as well as abnormal conditions.<\/p>

      \u2705 Helps in identifying memory leaks and loss of resource issues that cannot be found with other functional or non-functional tests.<\/p>

      \u2705 Helps to identify the system\u2019s behavior after the failure, and makes sure it recovers quickly from the crashes.<\/p>

      \u2705 Helps to identify system bottlenecks & whether a system can store data before the crash.<\/p>

      Stress Testing\u00a0<\/strong>Disadvantages<\/strong><\/h2>

      \u274c Major concerns in stress testing are to simulate the testing environment and keep it close to the production environment as much as possible.<\/p>

      \u274c It will need a good amount of scripting knowledge.<\/p>

      \u274c Incorrectly performed stress testing can lead to a false performance matrix and waste of time.<\/p>

      Stress Testing\u00a0<\/strong>Tools<\/strong><\/h2>

      \ud83d\udd28\u00a0NeoLoad<\/a><\/em>\u2013 This is a popular tool available in the market to test web and mobile applications. This tool provides some out-of-the-box features. To name some: low-code or no-code approaches, automated script maintenance, automated CI pipeline. This tool can simulate thousands of users in order to evaluate the application\u2019s performance. It is easy to use, cost-effective, and provides good scalability.<\/p>

      \ud83d\udd28<\/em>\u00a0JMeter<\/em><\/a>\u2013\u00a0<\/em>JMeter is an open-source tool. It is a pure Java application for stress and performance testing. This tool can be used to generate stress on servers with multiple requests.<\/p>

      \ud83d\udd28\u00a0LoadRunner<\/a><\/em>\u2013 LoadRunner is used to test applications, measure system behavior, and performance under load. LoadRunner supports performance testing for the widest range of protocols, 50+ technologies and application environments. Test results shaped by LoadRunner are considered a benchmark.<\/p>

      Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>

      To conclude this article, we can say that it\u2019s a best practice to perform stress testing before a launch. That is so we can improve the system and get ready for the worst that can happen \ud83d\udcaa<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/shiftsync.tricentis.com\/testing-strategies-methodologies-42\/what-is-stress-testing-94","creationDate":"2022-05-18T23:00:00+0000","relativeCreationDate":"1 year ago"},"isTopicUnread":true,"privateId":45,"id":94,"type":"post","hasCurrentUserLiked":false,"isSticky":false,"features":[],"forum":{"id":42,"isIdeation":false,"url":"\/testing-strategies-methodologies-42","title":"Testing strategies & methodologies","description":"Here you can find testing best practices, articles on various testing methodologies, helpful guidelines on how to improve testing in your team.

            I seek the truth, and I report the truth, <\/strong>about the status of the product at any given time. I do this so that the team I work for can make informed decisions about quality.<\/p>

            If I break anything, it is the veil of illusion.<\/strong> I shatter the dreams of the naive. But not the product. The product is the product, before and after I test it.<\/p>

            A good tester has no faith in the product.<\/strong> We have faith in trouble. I mean faith in the full literal sense of believing in something without any evidence. In order for testers to function at full velocity and effectiveness, we must believe that there is a problem around every corner (even though there probably isn\u2019t).<\/p>

            Whenever I use the term QA I am probably referring to quality analysis.<\/p>

            \u00a0<\/p>

            Why does this matter?<\/strong><\/h2>

            Because letting people say that you \u201cassure quality\u201d or \u201censure quality\u201d puts you in the position of scapegoat. \u201cWhy did you let that product ship with a bug, tester? What\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d Releasing a product is a business decision, not a testing decision. It must be made by people who are aware of and accountable for all that responsibility.<\/p>","url":"https:\/\/shiftsync.tricentis.com\/testing-strategies-methodologies-38\/please-stop-saying-testers-ensure-quality-218","creationDate":"2023-05-28T01:19:49+0000","relativeCreationDate":"16 days ago"},"numberOfViews":25,"contentType":"conversation","featuredImage":"","publicLabel":"","category":{"url":"\/discussions-5","categoryId":5,"title":"Discussions","metaRobots":"index, follow","type":0},"lastPostId":"0"},{"firstPost":{"id":176,"author":{"id":50,"url":"\/members\/ioan-50","name":"IOan","avatar":"https:\/\/uploads-us-west-2.insided.com\/tricentis-en\/icon\/200x200\/e6a90819-1f6c-4978-bedc-adc050148b68.png","userTitle":"Subsonic 0.1","rank":{"isBold":false,"isItalic":false,"isUnderline":false,"name":"Subsonic 0.1"},"userLevel":4},"content":"

            The talk of the town, ChatGPT, can provide some benefits for testing activities, but its effectiveness in speeding up the testing process or generating test cases will depend on the specific use case and the quality of the input data provided to it. While people do not want to miss the train, but they have to very clear where and how they should use AI. In my\u00a0opinion,\u00a0ChatGPT can help in testing in following ways:<\/p>

            1. \t

               Test data generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate synthetic test data based on specific scenarios or requirements. For instance, it can generate test data that simulates specific user interactions or system responses to validate the functionality of a software application.<\/p>\t<\/li>\t

            2. \t

               Test case generation: ChatGPT can be used to generate test cases based on specific requirements or test scenarios. However, the effectiveness of this approach will depend on the quality of the input data provided to the model and the level of detail required for the test cases.<\/p>\t<\/li>\t

            3. \t

               Test script automation: ChatGPT can be used to automate test scripts for repetitive tasks, such as test data creation or validation. This can help speed up the testing process and improve the efficiency of the testing team.<\/p>\t<\/li><\/ol>

               Having listed the above benefits, It is important to note that while ChatGPT can help in testing activities, it is not a replacement for human testers. People will start thinking that this can replace them and take their jobs. However, It is still necessary to have human testers who can validate the results generated by the model and provide context and domain knowledge that may not be captured by the model.<\/p>
