In daily software testing work, it is often easy to have problems such as incomplete testing work, incomplete understanding of requirements, and inability to test from the perspective of users, resulting in untimely defect discovery, easy omission of defects or bugs, and rework in the middle and later stages of the project. Condition. So how can testers conduct testing more efficiently, especially for requirements analysis testing, how to focus on the key points and test more effectively?
Generally speaking, testers need to focus on the following five key points when conducting demand analysis:
1. Requirements analysis from different testing angles
When testers conduct requirements analysis, they need to conduct a comprehensive analysis of product requirements from different testing angles to check and ensure the comprehensive coverage of the requirements analysis.
Software testing generally includes functional testing, system testing, interface testing, performance testing, security testing, reliability testing, compatibility testing, UI testing, document testing, and recently emerging user experience testing.
2. Make sure you fully understand your needs
When testers review requirements, they often review requirements based on requirements documents. But this does not fully understand the real needs of users and the background of their needs. If we want to really test from the perspective of users, we first need to understand what is the source of product demand? What problems do users need to solve?
Therefore, we need to further communicate the requirements with the product personnel and ask them to explain the requirements. It is best if you can communicate directly with users. Only when we truly understand user needs can we discover hidden problems or needs in time.
Of course, we can also make full use of tools to discover user demand defects as early as possible. For example, CoCode requirements analysis tool, using AI, can quickly analyze user requirements defects, such as ambiguity, repetition, omission, inconsistency and complexity, etc. in a few minutes through requirements testing and consistency detection, and accurately lock requirements problems, so as to be more efficient Correct defects in a timely manner and improve the quality of user requirements.
3. Emphasis on test requirements analysis methods
When we conduct test requirements analysis, we need to pay attention to the corresponding methods so that we can improve the efficiency of testing. Such as our commonly used methods of testing requirements analysis: functional decomposition method, information modeling method, analysis from business and technical perspectives, etc.
For example, the functional decomposition method is to treat the new system as a combination of multifunctional modules. Each function definition can be decomposed into several sub-functions and interfaces, and the sub-functions will continue to be decomposed, and decomposed layer by layer, and then analyze the requirement rules for each function point.
4. Understand the business implementation architecture
The business implementation architecture is also necessary for testers. In order to avoid the problem that the customer wants a villa, but the development result is a cottage, testers need to communicate with the development in depth, so as to be able to understand the implementation structure of the entire business, such as development dependent components, related functions, and modules that need to be processed problem etc.
5. Make full use of tools to find all defects as early as possible
In order to improve the quality of peer review, CoCode has specially developed a review analysis tool to evaluate the effect of the review by predicting the number of remaining defects, allowing us to find all remaining defects as early as possible, so as to reduce the cost and time of rework. By comparing the data before and after using the review analysis tool, it is found that the review analysis tool can save 17-20% of development costs.
CoCode releases a series of AI development tools: Co-Project intelligent project management tool (requirement itemization, automatic generation of test cases), requirement analysis tool, review analysis tool. The CMMI landing tool is launched, which fully supports the efficient landing of CMMI3-5 levels.
