Overview

Usability Testing
This project will provide hands-on experience in the usability testing of a desktop application. This project starts with an exercise in test case design which will be reviewed by your tutor. Next, you will use your own test cases and perform a usability test on a desktop application. You will be raising defects in our own defect tracking system throughout the testing. Once your usability test is complete, your tutor will provide constructive feedback to allow you to build on your usability testing skills.

Exploratory Testing
There are many times in a software tester’s career where there are no requirements for a given piece of software, or you are simply asked to test something without any context or supporting documentation. This project will provide experience with creating a generic high-level exploratory test script, which will be reviewed by your tutor. You will then have an opportunity to use the script on a website/desktop application.

Compatibility Testing
With the ever-changing range of web browsers and subsequent versions, compatibility testing is paramount on any publicly visible web development. Knowing what to look for on each browser/version is a key part of performing a successful compatibility test. This project will provide you with an opportunity to plan a compatibility test, and of course execute your tests on a live website. Your tutor will be there as always providing constructive feedback along the way.
