Application Under Test (AUT)

AUT is "Application under test". Once the development team is done with the coding part of Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC), then the build is progressed to Testing for validating and verifying its functionalities against the requirements. This coded application under testing is called Application Under Test (AUT).

Agile

Agile methodology is a project management framework that breaks projects down into several dynamic phases, commonly known as sprints.

Artifacts are like roadmaps that software developers can use to trace the entire software development process. Artifacts might be databases, data models, printed documents or scripts.

Sprint Backlog

A sprint backlog is a list of work items your team plans to complete during a project sprint.

API testing

In API Testing, instead of using standard user inputs(keyboard) and outputs, you use software to send calls to the API, get output, and note down the system's response. a software testing type that validates Application Programming Interfaces (APIs).

shift left

It's what you do before you test. >look at the user story 1st, look and see if it has the quality acceptance criteria, gather test data, create template for what the test case will be. Going to make sure I have what I need so i can understand what I'm testing and how I am going to to assess the functional aspects of a software application. To check whether you're getting the results your expecting. Examples: end to end, interface testing, smoke testing, acceptance testing I'm gonna test it. Then when its ready to test I'm going to create the step bu step and execute the case.
