What is Scenario Testing?
Scenario Testing is a Software Testing Technique that uses scenarios i.e. speculative stories to help the tester work through a complicated problem or test system. The ideal scenario test is a reliable, complicated, convincing or motivating story the outcome of which is easy to assess. It is performed to ensure that the end to end functioning of software and all the process flow of the software are working properly.
In scenario testing:
- The testers assume themselves to be the end users and find the real world scenarios or use cases which can be carried out on the software by the end user.
- The testers take help from clients, stakeholders and developers to create test scenarios. A test scenario is a story which describes the usage of the software by an end user.
Scenario Testing – Software Testing
Scenario testing helps testers to know how the software will exactly work when end user will use it. As the scenario testing tests the business process flow of the software so it helps in figure out a lot of defects which cannot be found with the help of other testing. Scenario testing is carried out by creating test scenarios which copy the end users usage. In this article, we’ll learn about it’s characteristics, process, methods and risks.
