THREE COMPONENTS OF JOB MARKET/INTERVIEW SUCCESS
1. Test planning = test cases
2. Bug reporting 
3. Talking about the projects (Project = Experience)

WHY DO WE TALK ABOUT UI/USABILITY TESTING AT ALL??? 	UI vs GUI, Command line user interface
1. You start reporting bugs from the day 1 = make a good impression = helps to keep the job
2. Few people have an idea of UI rules = you bring an expertise, which does not exist there
3. Easy to pick up



Developers test their code. What software testers are needed for?
- Regression testing
- Negative testing
- Testers are looking at bigger picture


EXPLORATORY TESTING
Exploratory:
	- plan
		- execute
			- learn

Ad Hoc:            ========================NEVER call it monkey testing
	- plan
	- execute
	- learn



AUT - application under test

Gray Box Testing:
- extention of black box testing
- some extra knowledge is needed
- a lot/most of the web testing is gray box
- tools/programming languages will be used
- Ex.1: Write and execute SQL statement against the database to validate the data integrity
- Ex.2: Analyzing/Parsing log files 
- Ex.3: REST API Testing with Postman

What are the common stages of Software Development Life Cycle? - waterfall model
- analysis   (business reqs)
- requirements (product, functional)
- design (architecture)
- coding/development/implementation
- testing
- maintenance




===============================BUG REPORTS ENERGY-TELECOM====================
#1 In “Search My Invoices” section all the labels should have a colon at the end
#2 Incorrect number of results per page: 11 instead of 10 (as per "Results per page" listbox).
#3 Inconsistency in date format: "Invoice date" field (6/5/2011) vs Inv.Date Column (22-Aug-2011)
#4 First cell in "Status" colum: replace "Rejcted" with "Rejected" 


=========================RULES OF BUG REPORTING==============================
1. WWW - What happend?  Where?   under Which circumstances?
2. One bug fix = one bug report (no more than 1 bug per bug report)
3. Bug report could be about a problem OR about the solution


Happy Path Testing - making sure the system does work properly when you do correct steps (Positive)
