PHONE BOOK SOFTWARE TESTING 1
INTRODUCTION
Software testing is an important process in software development. This is because it helps
bring up the deformities, defects and mistakes that were made during development. Also, it
ensures the customer's dependability and assures of their requirement fulfillment. Testing
improves and guarantees quality on the software
One should test a software when having a specific goal to achieve, one that satisfies the
needs of the user and also improve performance and effectiveness. This means failures should be
absent at all times if not minimum after testing of a software occurs.
This document is the test report of a phonebook software that was deployed in a cloud
service. Our team has written this report which provides a deeper knowledge and understanding
of black box testing in an agile environment.
We use a test software management tool called TestRail in order to achieve testing. This
is a modern management tool that generates reports that display statistics, charts and visualize
the data. With the tool, the reports generated could be private or shared so that all other users in
the project can view.
The phonebook software in discussion is open to a number of users and is synchronized
with the user’s phonebook so that information added is synchronized both in the website and the
phonebook. The user can do different of things in the software, for example they can create an
account in the website, insert multiple sheets to the phonebook, every sheet can include
information up to 10000 people, log in to the website using their credentials (username and
password), share the sheet with their friend by using the email of their friend where that email

address is used to log on to the website, provides write access to their friend then the friend can
be able to modify any contact information, import information from a CSV (Comma Separated
Values) file and vice versa. This information is going to be saved to a certain selected sheet, and
finally the user can also export information to a sheet in a CSV file.
We found that there are bugs in every other software including our phonebook software.
Developers encounter bugs and hence testing helps to identify the bugs so that they can be fixed
before being deployed to user. However there are risks of deploying the software in a cloud
service because the benefits from the agility and scalability that cloud services offer, there are
issues of security and privacy of personal data.
Agile testing environment in our case, has proved to be a productive and best practice
since testers and developers work together at the same time, testing is not a separate phase and
occurs concurrently with development. However, if these tests to the software would not have
been done, there could be poor results in the deployment process and a software that is not
functional.
