Orthodox shot

In cricket you might have seen batsman playing orthodox shots.

The aim is to get as many runs as possible.

In Software testing we have to play orthodox shots too.

All techniques or process may not be documented or taught to find the bugs/ to ensure the quality.

Here are few ways to find them.

1) Review databases structure and data in databases

2) Review design document to prevent defect penetration from upper stream (phases)

3) Evaluate similar products (eg. Roshni is doing comparison of Reward+ Applications. You can ask for a copy)

4) Attend stand-up meetings and understand the high RISK areas and test critical areas.

5) Check logs if sensitive data (eg. PIN, Password, Credit Cards etc) are saved.

Good tester finds many critical bugs early
