3-2-1 Book Summary: Buddha In Testing: Finding Peace In Chaos [Chapter 1]

By -


I started reading it again from first, as I did not complete this book reading earlier.

This blog post summarizes the Chapter 1 - "Fundamentals of Testing" from BUDDHA IN TESTING, written by Pradeep Soundararajan.

If you are new to testing or experienced in Testing, This book is for you.

This book summarizes every test activity starting from
        Testing
        Automation In Testing
        Test Coverage
        Testability
        Functional Testing
        Performance Testing
        Regression Testing
        Unit Testing


3 Big Ideas

1. Test Coverage is not Test Case Coverage

2. "Testability - Whenever you find a bug in production - Ask "Did we make this testable?""  and "Impact Mapping and Risk Assessment are important for Regression Test Planning".

3. People who talk about "everyone owns quality" should begin with Unit Testing

Many Bugs find us. We find very few
 
Good Testing == Right Sampling of Testing

If you are testing a feature or functionality, keep a note of these questions:
  • What is the purpose of the feature before starting the test? Why to test?
  • What changes were made from previous build?
  • What are the risks and Impacts on the bug fix?
  • Was it Testable?
  • What is the impact to the user?
  • Have the fixes improved the speed of the functionality?


I recommend you read this book. This book is available on Amazon

Yesterday Morning (9th May 2020), I had good discussion with  Sundaresan  Krishnaswami on " Contract Testing ". I thank  Sundaresan   for his time and sharing his knowledge. It started with an example: The Owner provides the house or Place of Residence to the Tenants. "Rent Agreement" is provided for the house and It contains agreement to use the house.
