What is Test Scenario?what is scenario based testing?can u explain with an example?Can u give template?
Question:
Answer:
scenario means different things to different people in the world of software testing
Simple scenario elements include:
the scenario information line, this is text enclosed in double quotes which is printed to the journal file. It may then be picked up by a report writer or written to a database.
The test case name, with an optional list of invocable components which gives the user the flexibility to select only certain tests from a group of tests
A referenced scenario name, so we can call another scenario from within a scenario.
Include file name, which contains the test case names and the scenario information lines to they don't have to be entered into every scenario file, and a single change will update all our scenarios.
Scenario based testing is being asked questions as a simulation of real life situations.
Example: You need to add FTP Services to your Windows 2003 Server, and allow only authorized users to access it. What steps do you need to take?
That would be a scenario based question.
ersreddy, this scenario based testing derived from a military, hand written program from the eighties. The answers supplied, so far, are variances to imply that the scenario can encompass a range of situations so vast that it would take a computer large enough to house every persons memory capabilities since man has walked the earth. Does this help you to see how enormous this scenario based testing is? Yet, each corporation has it's own changes and allowances to this rule which make it so very independent that it could be rendered useless or at the least, confusing to any outsider. Not at all like numbers and the continued construction of math as the number one versatile language of the world.
Having said this, the military first created a flow chart. A three step on going scenario solution process. Know of it. Not used much. But, it was the original scenario based template. 1. Ask a question. 2. Two paths should stem from the first question. 2a. One path should stem from the first question being true, correct, positive, accurate, high, long, etc. 2b. The other path should stem from the first question being false, incorrect, negative, inaccurate, low, short, etc. 3.or, the last step is to create two more paths.if needed...to the positive...scenario and two more paths .if needed...to the negative...scenario. I hope I have read your question and understood what it is your needing. I hope this has helped.
