What is the term End to end testing in software tesing ?
604396
End-to-end testing tests the entire circuit of a transaction or an activity.  For transactions, it starts from the user-interface (UI) to the server and database, potentially to other systems across the network, and back to a UI (which may be the same or different from the initiating UI).  For more complex activities, it involves testing that includes the complete cycle of invoking components from start to finish of the cycle.

For each object some test cases can be put for both positive and negative testing under the white and block box based methodologies.... and all wud be based upon the functionality thats intended of the object... (since thats not specified... it not possible to highlight more upon what they can be)... for various phases... integration,development... based on the V model.

The Beta version is being tested (it's called Beta testing, for obvious reasons). There are many different kinds of tests you can and should run during development, but before you can issue your final release, you need to submit your application to a group of people (Beta testers) who will be doing the same kinds of things with your program as the end users. In most cases, beta testers are actual end users who want to get a preview of the application (Beta releases are almost always free). The idea is that these users will report any bugs that they encounter, giving the developers a chance to fix them before releasing the final "stable" version.

Can you be more specific?  Testing for what?

Basically, its a test to see if a program or hardware setup crashes, usually over an extended period of time.

Depends on your method of deployment (phased vrs big bang)and how you plan to test your development\n\nI'd look on the net for phase containment, RAD (rapid application development), V model, waterfall testing

The stage of testing that is being performed on the software.\n\nAlpha testing is generally done "in house" by the company that is intending to release the software, by the software company employees or contractors.\n\nBeta testing is after Alpha testing and is a phase generally moved into when a company wants to see how real users will interact with the software.  It's helpful for the company to see the things it didn't catch in initial (or Alpha) testing.  Generally Beta testing leads to either Release...meaning they fix most of the bugs in Beta and they go ahead and roll out or sell the software...or the third stage of testing, called Release Candidate.\n\nRelease Candidate is sent out, often to people who actually pay for the software because they have a large business need which the software will help fix.  Even though the company buying the software is aware they're going to be helping the producing company test their software, it's still a good relationship to enter if the cost of NOT having the software outweighs the cost of dealing with pre-release "fully" tested software.\n\nRelease Candidates can also go through versions, like RC1 and RC2...coincidentally, Windows Vista is on RC2 now (I think) and that - at least in Microsoft speak - means they think they're almost ready to roll this software out to the general public.

Don't understand your question very clearly. \n\nIf looking at regressing testing, you can go to open source projects like gcc, mysql, etc. There are regression testing code in their source release.

i havnt heard this sort of term even im an expert in programming skill. Can you be specific about what do you mean?

There is not one specific Test Case Format, it really depends upon the standards of who you are doing it for.  Every company has their own standards.\n\nHowever, just for reference, I would suggest the following format:\n\n1. Test Condition Description:  A short synopsis of what you are trying to test (and always test for things to FAIL as well as to work)\n\n2. Test Steps: This should be a list of detailed steps to follow in order to complete the test.  This includes all the setup required to get to that point.  If you want to test a program that is printing an invoice, for example...  part of the test case has to be creating the order/invoice in the software and getting it ready to be processed.\n\n3.  Expected Results:  This is a description of what SHOULD happen when the Test Case is run.  Some people like to put expected results after every step of the Test Case, while others put one Expected Result after all the steps have been run through.  It all depends on how detailed of a process you want the testing to be.\n\n4.  Actual Results:  This is a section where the person testing the Application writes in the actual results.  Sometimes they match the expected results, sometimes they don't.  If the two do not match, then it must be determined if it is a bug or the Test Case was written incorrectly.  Actual Results should come after all Expected Results (so if you are doing Expected for each step in the Test Case, you have to do Actual for each step as well)\n\n5.  Pass/Fail/Status:  Finally, I suggest a status on the Test Case.  This should indicate if the Test Case was Passed or if it Failed.  Depending upon the complexity of your application, you could have other statuses such as Passed with Conditions (like a message has a typo, but they don't want to retest this just because you have to change the wording of a message) or Failed Pending Review (they think it failed, but there will be a meeting to discuss if the bugs are critical).\n\nFinally, I think it's important to note that you have a Test Plans and Test Cases.  Test Cases are every single situation you want to test.  You can write general ones like "Add a Customer" to just see if functionality works, then you should have detailed ones that test specific functionality.  Remember, part of Testing is trying to BREAK the software, not prove it works.  So, some Test Cases may involve "bang on keyboard" or steps that you KNOW are wrong, but a typical user might do.\n\nThe Test Plan is an assembly of different Test Cases.  You can have a Test Cases that do some pre-setup of data and include those FIRST in your Test Plan so you don't have to include this setup in every single Test Case.\n\nRemember to be thorough, that is the most important part.  Think of EVERYTHING.  That is what makes Application Testing so difficult... there is no way that you can test every single situation, but test the most likely ones.  Test the limits too.  If you can enter a value from 0-100, test 0, 1, 99, 100, -1, and 101 as well as things in between.  Those are the most likely areas for bugs.

White box testing is testing from the inside--tests that go in and test the actual program structure. \n\nBasis path testing: Very simply, test every statement in the program at least once. You'll note that the testing department at FCC chose test cases that did this; the entire execution tree was covered. \nBasis path testing is MANDATORY--so much so that there are software products written especially to assist in it. \n\n\nProfiling: There are a lot of tools--often included with compilers--which show where the CPU is spending most of its time in a program. Naturally, the busiest parts of the program are the ones you want to test most. \n\nLoop tests: Exercise each DO,WHILE,FOR, and other repeating statements several times. \n\nInput tests: As the old saying goes--garbage in, garbage out. If a procedure recieves the wrong data, it's not going to work. Each procedure should be tested to make certain that the procedure actually received the data you sent to it. This will spot type mismatches, bad pointers, and other such bugs (these are common!)

The links belo will help u understand better\n\n\nA beta version or beta release represents the first version of the software that has passed system testing and regression testing. These tests were performed in a test environment using hardware and data constructed for the purposes of testing. The beta build is now ready for a beta test, in which it is tested through a limited roll-out to a production environment using live data and real users. The beta test is closely monitored by the software testers.\n\nSome development teams use the term beta informally to denote build of the software that is stable enough to be useful for internal demonstrations and previews to select customers, but not yet ready for release. Some developers refer to this stage as a preview, as a technical preview (TP) or as an early access. Often this stage begins when the developers announce a feature freeze on the product, indicating that no more features will be added to this version of the product and only software issues, or bugs, will be removed. Beta versions stand at an intermediate step in the full development cycle. Developers release them to a group of beta testers (sometimes the general public) for a user test. The testers report any bugs that they found and sometimes minor features they would like to see in the final version.\n\nWhen a beta becomes available to the general public it is often widely used by the technologically savvy and those familiar with previous versions as though it were the finished product. Usually developers of freeware or open-source betas release them to the general public while proprietary betas go to a relatively small group of testers. In February 2005, ZDNet published an article about the recent phenomenon of a beta version often staying for years and being used as if it were in production-level [1]. It notes that Gmail and Google News, for example, have been in beta for a long period of time and are not expected to drop the beta status despite the fact that they have been widely used. This technique may also allow a developer to delay offering full support and/or responsibility for remaining issues. Recipients of highly proprietary betas may have to sign a non-disclosure agreement.\n\nAs the second major stage in the development cycle, following the alpha stage, it is named after the Greek letter beta, the second letter in the Greek alphabet.\n\nsome examples of BETA\nGmail.com\nGoogle talk\nGoogle Suggest\nlive.com\nMicrosoft AntiSpyware
