In Software testing, we will be working on 3 types of projects,

·   Stand-alone application – software installed in one computer and used by only one person. For ex – Installing s/w of a Calculator, Adobe Photoshop, MS Office, AutoCad

·  Web Application – any application software accessed through browser is called web application. For ex – yahoo.com, gmail.com

·   Client – Server application – here, we are installing both client and server software to access the application. 

The customer sends the requirements to both development team and testing team. Now, the test lead will understand the requirements and logically assign the work to other team members.

The developers write the programs to build the features. They have to build the various features given by the requirements of the customers. The developer uses different languages and compiles and compresses the programs.

The developer compiles the Java program and then compresses it to .Jar file. The developer compiles the JSP program and then compresses it to .Jar file.The developer will compile the database and then compress it to .Tar file.The developers will not compile the HTML directly and compress it to .War file.Now again he will compress all the compressed file into .tar and puts it into 1 file and stores it in D: drive as,

D : // Builds / B01 zapakmail . tar and sends a mail to the testing team.

In the test environment 1^st he will install the OS, Web Server, Application Server, Database Server. This is done before installing the product software. After installing, he will copy from D : drive and paste the Tar build. He will then untar, then we get .jar, .tar, .war, .jar files.

All JSPs and Web HTML programs should be moved into WebServer. All Java Programs should be moved into ApplicationServer and all DataBase programs goes to DataBaseServer.
