Hi,

Your question is pretty vague... but here the common guidelines that you're expected to follow while testing.

There are basically two kinds of testing :

1. Verification - Mainly involving the documents that are produced at the end of every stage of software development, such as requirements specification, functional design, technical design etc.

2. Validation - This involves the actual execution of project to find whether it meets the specifications in the earlier documents such as requirements doc, functiona doc etc.

I'll assume that you'd be more interested in "validation" testing coz verification is something that goes on simultaneously with the project development and you might have done it in some or the other form.

Validation testing involves the following steps :

1. Test Cases - Make test cases which specify the scenario in which the s/w is to be tested. Specify the expected inputs and outputs.

2. Execute the tests.

3. Document the results indicating the inputs supplied to each test case and the outputs obtained. List specific observations, if any.

All the best

Abhinav has given a very good answer to the question. There is another approach to testing called use-case scenario. Every program is expected to fulfill certain needs expressed as use-case scenarios. One needs to come up with testcases or test methods to validate the the scenarios are executed and the desired results are got! There are some automated tools to go about checking the nuts and bolts like the range of input values and expected output values etc. Scripting languages like Perl are also used to perform testcase automation.

if u come across testing there is different stages
we can give different inputs to get outputs Properly.
we should also give wrong inputs and checks the error handling's
then we should ask the client to checkout with the pgm whether any modification is Tobe done easy to work with fast secure

Enter all possible values and permutation of inputs into your project and make sure their outputs match the expected results.
