Skills that are important for a Test Professional

Database Testing Checklist

Database Testing

Synchronization between the database and the values displayed in our client/web.
Query results, views, stored procedures, indexers Etc.
Data manipulation (Update, Delete, insert Etc.).
Database performance.
Data maintenance.
Table’s structure.
Data recovery.
Data integrity.
Others

Clean database testing

Verify clean database testing.
Input 1st data

Database system-level tests

Validate the DB behavior of any case of service failures (recovery, error handling Etc.).
Validate that all indexes are created when it can increase the system performance.
Validate that appropriate events are created ad sent to the EventVwr/trace log.
Validate that DB tables are created with informative and reasonable names.
Try to work when the storage is ‘0’ and the e database is in running state.
Perform your tests on different versions (SQL 2005, 2008, 2012 etc.).
Validate the software security model (User roles, permissions etc.).
Validate the connection strings against SQL/Win authentications.
Validate data migrations (Different Database, Cluster, etc.).
Validate the behavior of the system against SQL injections.
Validate date to DB when the server is loaded.
Try to work when the database server is down.
Try to work with difference instance.
Validate restore and backup plans.

Database Integration Testing

Check that all columns are set with the relevant data type (Bigint, int, string Etc.)
Check that all data is logically organized in the relevant DB tables.
Check that each data item is located under the relevant column.
Is there any irrelevant data in the software dedicated tables?
Check that each table contains the relevant data.
Try to insert invalid database values.
Verify the data encryption (if any).

Data field tests

Validate that “Allow Null” condition is not allowed in a place that result a software failure.
Validate that all tables are created with logical structure (Primary, foreign keys.)
Validate that “Allow Null” condition is set when you need to allow it.
Validate that mandatory fields are created, this issue is very important when you work with multiple tables that depends on each other.

Procedure tests

Validate that the data the affected by the procedure is changed as expected.
Validate that all procedures are triggered when they supposed to run.
Validate that all the conditions receive an appropriate date inputs.
Validate that all procedures are created with the relevant code.
Is there an appropriate error handling for a failed procedure?
Validate that all the loops receive an appropriate date inputs.
Validate the procedure’s parameters (types, names, etc.).
Test the SP while executing the code manually.
Validate important code with SQL profiler.
Validate that all procedures names
Run tests with missing parameters.

Database and software integration (Client, web Etc.)

Validate that the user data is saved when the user “Apply” or “Submit” the changes.
Try to insert “NULL” values on fields that doesn’t supposed to receive it.
Validate that the user receives the current result when pulling data.
Validate that transaction the data type boundaries (Minima Etc.)
Validate that empty spaces are not committed to the database.
Validate that the values displayed based on the database data.
Try to insert UNICODE on Unicode character strings.
Try to insert values that exceed the field boundaries.
Validate that transactions the negative data values.
Insert invalid date format on Date and time fields.
Validate that the data integrity is not affected when the “Apply” or “Submit transactions are failing during the process.
Validate that the “Roll Back” option is available when the DB transaction is failed in the middle.

Data checking

Create Data from frontend and check by Query
Delete Data from frontend and check by Query

Mobile Testing Checklist

Platform

Check OS depend on test

Connectivity and Network Issues

Check data connection will be used (Mobile operator / wifi)
Check if data connection loss while saving data
Check if data connection slow while saving data
Check both connection are open; Now, lost wifi connection what will be happen; Vice versa
