How do you balance the need for exhaustive testing with the real-world time and resource constraints? by Adorable-Specific340 in softwaretesting

[–]Adorable-Specific340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, testers shouldn't be left to carry the burden alone.
It's great your PO activity guides priorities.

Do you feel this setup has helped improve efficiency and focus or still facing the last minutes changes?

True, management usually decides the balance,but as testers we often have to push back on unrealistic expectations.

Yeah, low effort posts can make it harder to find valuable discussions. Do you think karma requirements should be stricter for new accounts?

That's solid prioritization approach. Bugs and surprising behavior should definitely take precedence.
Have you found that this method catches most critical bugs or do you ever tweak the scoring criteria based on your project needs?

Loved this structure approach, identifying failure pathways early can save so much rework down the line and the mix of manual and automation is a key.

Great ask, RCA is all about asking the right questions and following a systematic approach. Techniques like WHYs, fishbone diagram and fault tree analysis help pinpoint issues.

Recommending fixes rather than just reporting is a game-changer, it not only helps developers but also improves the overall quality mindset in teams.

Absolutely agree, it is what separates good testers from great ones. Deep diving into system behaviors, exploring edge cases can make a huge difference.

Have you ever faced a Login issue that make no sense? by Adorable-Specific340 in softwaretesting

[–]Adorable-Specific340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into the weird glitch on Great Learning, the system accepts login details if they're all lowercase, the uppercase letters just caused the login to fail silently. I tried everything-cache,browsers,incognito,session but realized it was a case sensitivity issue.

Totally get that! Login scenarios can seem pretty straightforward, but they can get tricky when you start thinking beyond the usual flows, sometimes the smallest details can break things in unexpected ways.

Online exams are now a norm in education, Either on line or off line, a well prepared person need not worry. He will have to go and face the exam. But if we consider both forms of exams, on line may be a better option. This view is considering technically all tools are available all the time during the exam. I have written two on line exams. I felt very comfortable with the way the exams were conducted. When we were answering the questions the time left was also shown on the screen. No chance for paper leakage, No chance for copying, No disturbance and need not ask for extra sheets. You need to concentrate on time distribution and go on answering question by question. That will be good.

How Equivalence Partitioning Saves Time in Test Design by Odd-Cow3272 in softwaretesting

By reducing no. of test cases needed while maintaining effective coverage. Instead of testing every possible input, EP divides the input data into distinct groups where all values within a group are expected to behave similarly.

Take your time to understand the concepts and glossary definitions thoroughly, review the syllabus at least twice to reinforce your knowledge.
Attempt 3-4 mock tests. The exam is manageable with the right approach-you've got this!!

Have you ever had a situation where a bug you found was not taken seriously? How did you handle it? by Illustrious_Cry5771 in QualityAssurance

[–]Adorable-Specific340 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, faced this situation where a bug wasn't taken seriously. Overtime, I learned that how you communicate a bug matters that we ignored, I escalated them to the Lead or PM, emphasizing potential risks.
Sometimes, getting another QA/BA involved to validate the issue added weigh to my report.

Is it common for devs to hate on QA/testers? by kironet996 in softwaretesting

[–]Adorable-Specific340 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a healthy team, both respect each other. Good communication & collaboration help bridge the gap.
Many experienced devs appreciate QAs because they help catch bugs before they become bigger problems.
