Finding bugs in the application

A QA engineer always thinks of a bug in the application and always try to find them. Finding bugs in any application is really a challenging work and if you find bugs, it gives you the satisfaction of your job. Below are few tips by which you can find bugs in the application:


1. Understand the application/module in depth before starting the testing
2. Prepare good functional test cases before starting the testing.
3. Create all possible type of test data before testing.
4. Test the system in different environments.
5. When you tired or bored by testing same module or application, do MONKEY TESTING, really it works. I tried it many times and got good bugs :)
6. Try some standard test cases for which you found the bugs in some different application.
7. Test the application with dedication and passion.
8. Think alike of different users while testing the application.


Doing QA is like being a goalkeeper. You can make a hundred brilliant saves but the only shot that people remember is the one that gets past you.
