Check the above part when the expiry date or best before use date has been breached<br />3. Check if repellent is usable or not after the expiry date (effectiveness of the repellent)<br />4. Check that the repellent works for the time frame mentioned or it finishes of before time.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Priyanka GoelPriyanka Goelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13461657775345806013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-5835824324256379672012-02-05T23:39:40.046-08:002012-02-05T23:39:40.046-08:00How about plugging in a upside position and checki...How about plugging in a upside position and checking the effectiveness!!sanjaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-44205503888757529842009-10-03T11:44:09.850-07:002009-10-03T11:44:09.850-07:00How about to splash the machine with some repelent...How about to splash the machine with some repelent liquid and see how it works.Manehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00715393005544247586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-70484244116684783722007-05-26T08:55:00.000-07:002007-05-26T08:55:00.000-07:00@ Chandru,Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving ...@ Chandru,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog and leaving behind your views. As far as type of testing is concerned, even I am not sure (and not much interested either!) about the types here. :) May be that is the reason why I have chosen to put an exclamatory mark (!) next to the type of testing. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I respect your views and once again thanks for suggesting possible better types of testing that could be assigned to the particular test ideas.<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>-Debasis.Debasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-81404125905454601772007-05-26T05:22:00.000-07:002007-05-26T05:22:00.000-07:00Hi guys,Accidentally I got a chance to visit your ...Hi guys,<BR/>Accidentally I got a chance to visit your blog. You people are doing (also pradeep) good job.<BR/>Here I want to point out few mistakes in this blog.<BR/>""Switch ON the machine for a very long time (may be 48-72 hours continuously) and see what happens. [Stress Testing!]""<BR/> This is not stress testing. This is endurance testing.<BR/>""18. Drop the repellent machine along with the liquidator from a reasonable height (say from the height of 5-6 feet, because that is the average height of plug points at homes/offices) and test if the machine is able to avoid any damage. [Stress Testing!]""<BR/>But the product is not meant for dropping from certain height. You may call it as monkey testing or exploratory testing (we can include anything in this :))<BR/><BR/>""19. Test the machine under different room temperatures (say in a range of 5-45 degree Celsius). [Load Testing!]""<BR/><BR/>I do not think that this is a load testing. Here you are not dealing with the load applied to the product. Just you are changing the environment. Someone can tell that what testing is this. May be compatibility again???chandruhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12699176948270709138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-11203097961121146862007-05-16T07:39:00.000-07:002007-05-16T07:39:00.000-07:00@ Pradeep Soundararajan,Thanks Pradeep for your va...@ Pradeep Soundararajan,<BR/><BR/>Thanks Pradeep for your valuable feedbacks/inputs! I understand that I should have mentioned the mission while writing the test ideas. But I missed to mention it as I thought they were well understood! Anyway, here my mission is to apply tester's thinking to test some objects/equipments which are not necessarily run by software. These might give us a chance to think out of the box and develop our lateral thinking abilities. I have taken these as "Testing Exercises" for myself and going to share my test ideas with my readers, so that they could also join the fun! I hope this makes a good enough mission to go for more such "How to Test" posts in future. What do you think? :)<BR/><BR/>As far as taking software examples is concerned I have purposefully tried to avoid them. After all, we are accustomed to use our tester's mind to test softwares. So for a change we can try testing some non-software products. I feel it doesn't hurt as long as it helps us to develop/sharpen out testing skills.<BR/><BR/><I>Although your friend gave an exercise of a mosquito repellent, I think his intention of asking that was to check your flow of ideas and it appears to him that you are gaining practice.</I><BR/><BR/>I am glad to hear this. I feel the purpose of writing this post has been full filled to a large extent! :)<BR/><BR/>Regards,<BR/>Debasis.<BR/><A HREF="http://software-testing-zone.blogspot.com" REL="nofollow">Software Testing Zone</A>Debasis Pradhanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15059356907987625705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1695460650467928609.post-72149268588151477332007-05-16T06:13:00.000-07:002007-05-16T06:13:00.000-07:00These are good test ideas Debasis but I am wonderi...These are good test ideas Debasis but I am wondering for what mission would these test ideas fit in.<BR/><BR/>I encourage you to continue "how to test" series and it is indeed a good idea. It would help your readers if you state the mission ( so that they understand that they need to question the mission if they don't have it ) and list the test ideas ( and maybe also let your readers know how your test ideas help towards fulfilling the mission)<BR/><BR/>It would be cool, if you take software examples. Although your friend gave an exercise of a mosquito repellent, I think his intention of asking that was to check your flow of ideas and it appears to him that you are gaining practice.Pradeep Soundararajanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17849721523107325938noreply@blogger.com
