PHONE BOOK SOFTWARE TESTING 1
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
This report has been written after conducting an intensive software testing on a
phonebook software that was deployed in a cloud service. Our team has compiled a report that
provides a deeper understanding of black box testing in an agile environment and use of Test
software management tool like TestRail.
The phonebook software in subject is open to a number of users and is synchronized with
the user’s phonebook so that information added is synced both in the website and the phonebook.
The user can do a bunch 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.

For our case, agile testing environment 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.
