Real Time example of Software Testing

As most of us know what is software testing how can we give real world example for software testing?

The Common question when it comes to Software Testing

1Why we need Testing? 
2What is testing?

What Software Testing is? A simple logic to understand the whole process consider our degree examination system

1) Degree examination dates are planned and published for the 1st semester with 5 exams.

2) Student prepares for the Examination

3) Obviously the student will be highly concentrate on the First Exam

4) The student goes to the examination hall and completes his First Exam.

So how does this fit into software testing

1) Degree examination dates are planned and published for the each semester with 5 exams.

Test Planning:

Covers what subjects are applicable for this semester. This plan is done earlier when the course starts.

Test Scheduling:

Examination Dates define the Schedule that is when and what to write

Duration of the Exam.

Marks distribution gives us the measurement for the task so increase the priority and severity

Test Environment:

Class room Allocation

Seat allocation

Supervisor allocation

Distribution of Question papers and Answer sheets

Testing Phase1:

Now the student knows what is the Schedule, Environment and what to Test.

The Student got all setup and starts his exam.

Plan the Exam where to start and where to end.

Gets additional resource that is additional answer sheet when required.

Writes the Exam and with the Question Paper as the Requirement and prepares his Answer sheet (Test Case) in sync with the Question Paper and submit exam paper.

Testing Phase2:

After completion of testing activities the Professor/lecturer will make an assessment (Test Execution) on the Answer sheet of the student and give his status. (UAT)

If the student passes his entire Exam he will be successful and will go to the next semester with a new task.

If the student fails any one of Exam still he will be able to go to the next semester with a pending task and the new task. Increase in the efforts

At the end of the degree the student has to go with Project where all the above mentioned steps are followed.

Here the student is assigned with a project where there is Guide (Project Manager) who will be involved until he completes the Project.

The submission of the Project for the review and corrections can be considered as the Defect cycle.

At the end of the degree if the the student is passed with a first class he will get a good Job the mission is accomplished.

If at the end of the degree the students fails to pass. So here comes the Effort, Schedule variance.

So is the Testing Activity and the Testing Process is involved every where in real life.

This is my own opinion about software testing. Please apologize me if i made any mapping wrong and correct me....
