SOFTWARE TESTING


Software testing life cycle identifies what test activities to carry out and when (what is the best time) to accomplish those test activities. Even though testing differs between organizations, there is a testing life cycle. Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results. The purpose of testing can be quality assurance, verification and validation, or reliability estimation. Testing can be used as a generic metric as well. Correctness testing and reliability testing are two major areas of testing. Software testing is a trade-off between budget, time and quality. During Software Development in each step testing is required when one module is completed testing is start for that module or we can say unit testing
Software Testing Life Cycle consists of six phases:

1. Test Planning.
2. Test Analysis.
3. Test Design.
4. Construction and verification.
5. Testing Cycles.
6. Final Testing and Implementation.
7. Post Implementation.

Software testing has its own life cycle that intersects with every stage of the SDLC. The basic requirements in software testing life cycle is to control with software testing – Manual, Automated and Performance. Good testing provides measures for all relevant factors. The importance of any particular factor varies from application to application. Any system where human lives are at stake must place extreme emphasis on reliability and integrity. In the typical business system usability and maintainability are the key factors, while for a one-time scientific program neither may be significant. Our testing, to be fully effective, must be geared to measuring each relevant factor and thus forcing quality to become tangible and visible.

Barriers In SEO


Hi friends……Here Swati discuses some SEO tips that are cause obstacles in top ranking.There are lots of things that cause bad effect to your website as SEO point of view .There are lots of software and website development company that’s also provide SEO services but not so much concentrate no these things. There are following steps you can take to improve your site's search engine performance, there are also things that can hurt your chances at optimal rankings. Below are some of the major tips:
Avoid Frames: Sites utilizing frames typically separate the content of the page from the frame set, making it virtually impossible for search engines to find, let alone index and produce, the content of the framed pages in their results. If you have framed pages that you want to optimize for search engines, your best bet is to convert them to standard non-framed pages so that search engines can see what they have to offer for content display them properly.
Dynamic URLs: Dynamic URLs have traditionally been difficult for many search engines to crawl and index properly, although they are getting better at it. To play it safe, monitor your dynamically generated pages to assess whether or not the major search engines are finding them and, if necessary, create non-dynamic, search engine-friendly, versions of those pages on your site (e.g. yourorganization.com/about/default.asp).
Images vs. Text: Web developers will often utilize images to display text for page headings and navigation elements to enhance the design and/or control the layout of site pages, as opposed to utilizing HTML "true text" (in general, if you can highlight the text with your mouse, you will know it is true text). While there is nothing inherently wrong with this practice from a web development standpoint, it is important to know that search engines are not able to view text that is presented as images. Therefore, if words that you want search engines to find are embedded in site graphics, you should consider transitioning those images to actual text. Minimally, you'll want to use ALT text to indicate the words that are displayed in site graphics not only so that search engines can read them, but also as a usability enhancement for visitors who may not be able to view the images.
Multimedia: Flash animation and video may look cool to site visitors, but search engines cannot read or index the content embedded within multimedia objects. Flash animation and video may look cool to site visitors, but search engines cannot read or index the content embedded within multimedia objects. That is not to say that you shouldn't use multimedia where appropriate, but be aware that it is not search engine-friendly.
