What is RAD model- advantages, disadvantages and when to use it?

RAD model is Rapid Application Development model. It is a type of incremental model. In RAD model the components or functions are developed in parallel as if they were mini projects. The developments are time boxed, delivered and then assembled into a working prototype.

An agile methodology is an iterative approach to software development. Each iteration of agile methodology takes a short time interval of 1 to 4 weeks. The agile development process is aligned to deliver the changing business requirement. It distributes the software with faster and fewer changes.

Learn Verification is the process of checking that a software achieves its goal without any bugs. It is the process to ensure whether the product that is developed is right or not.

is the process of checking whether the software product is up to the mark or in other words product has high level requirements.

Learn different strategies to test a software and become a good tester

In this lesson you will learn remaining strategies for testing software and what are the effective ways to strategies a testing plan

Learn testing Methods , roles and responsibilities of different hierarchy in software testing career . What are the processes involve in testing

what the system actually does is functional testing. How to  verify that each function of the software application behaves as specified in the requirement document?  what is non functional testing ?  Types of functional and non functional testing

Non-functional testing is a type of software testing which refers to various aspects of the software such as performance, load, stress, scalability, security, compatibility, etc., The main focus of non-functional testing is to improve the user experience on how fast the system responds to a request.

It covers all the areas that are not covered in functional testing.

It checks the attributes such as memory leaks, performance, or robustness of the system.
In simple words, how well the system performs is non-functionality testing.

In this lesson you will learn review process roles & responsibilities. When the test engineer writes a test case, he/she may skip some scenarios, inputs and writes wrong navigation steps, which may affect the entire test execution process.

To avoid this, we will do one round of review and approval process before starting test execution.

If we don't go for the review process, we miss out some scenarios, accuracy won't be there, and the test engineer won't be serious.

All the cases need to be sent for the review process only after the completion of writing the test case. So, the other person does not get disturbed

Learn what are roles of Moderator, author, scriber and Reviewer also why we do review of a software .

t an idea and technique is a method or way for performing a task. So, Test Design is creating a set of inputs for given software that will provide a set of expected outputs. The idea is to ensure that the system is working good enough and it can be released with as few problems as possible for the average user.

There are many different types of coverages which we will look at in detail, in subsequent topic, some of them are:

1. Statement coverage

2. Decision coverage

3. Condition coverage

• Where to apply this test coverage in software testing?

• What are the types of coverage?

• What is Coverage measurement tools in software testing?

• What is Statement coverage? Advantages and disadvantages

• What are the different types of software testing tools?

In this lesson your will learn Statement , path coverage , decision coverage , cylometic complexity , control flow . The statement coverage is also known as line coverage or segment coverage. The statement coverage covers only the true conditions. Through statement coverage we can identify the statements executed and where the code is not executed because of blockage.

In very simple terms, test planning refers to planning the activities that must be performed during testing in order to achieve the objectives of the test. Test planning for every test level of the project begins at the starting of that level’s testing process and goes on upto the end of closing activities of the level.

in this lecture you will learn How to use testing for managing project and product risks?

• How to divide testing process into different test levels?

• What are the high level testing activities?

• Which testing strategy should be used in which situation? Strategies can differ based on project requirements like regulatory requirements, risk levels and different methodologies of software development.

• General test entry and test exit conditions

• The activities and processes mentioned in the Test Strategy should be align with the organizations Test Policy.

Metrics help in measuring the current state of an activity or process. They help us set benchmarks and targets. Measuring where you are currently helps you establish the how much further you need to go in order to achieve your goals. Test Managers must be able to define, track, report test progress metrics.

Learn 4 categories of test activity metrics

1. Test progress metrics

2. Product quality risks metrics

3. Defect metrics

4. Test metrics

5. Test coverage metrics

6. Test planning, monitoring and control metrics

7. Test analysis metrics

8. Test design metrics

9. Test implementation metrics

10. Test execution metrics

11. Test progress metrics

12. Test closure metrics

13. Test control activities

Defect Removal Efficiency (DRE) allows the development team to eliminate bugs before release. DRE is calculated as the correlation of bugs detected internally (by testers and software testing) with the amount of bugs that were detected externally (by users).

Learn Testing metrics and Bugzila

Bugzila:Bugzilla is a very renowned testing tool for web based applications. It is an open source (free) defect tracking / bug tracking tool. This tool helps the testers in keeping the track of the defects or bugs. Bugzilla comes with vast features which are not present in the other defect tracking tools.

Learn How to report defect on Bugzila , How to setup Bugzila and features.

In this Lesson you will learn How to write test cases, execute  and report defect on software

Learn About Database testing and command, also why we do database testing

This lesson introduces learners to the evolving role of AI in software testing. You’ll understand what AI-assisted testing is, how it complements manual efforts, and where it fits in the current QA ecosystem. Through real examples using platforms like Testim, Mabl, and Functionize, learners will see how AI can auto-generate tests based on user behavior, perform self-healing tests, and predict failure points—yet still require human judgment for validation and accuracy.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to craft a powerful resume specifically tailored for manual testing roles in 2025’s competitive job market. Whether you're a fresher, career switcher, or an experienced tester, your resume is your first impression — and we’ll help you make it count.
