Testing the Halloween Pumpkin
by Maria Kardash
1. Layout Testing: does it have a scary face carved on it? Is it scary enough?
2. DOCUMENTATION REVIEW: do we have a guide how to make a Halloween pumpkin?
3. Change-related Testing
3.1. Smoke Testing: still looks scary after putting a new candle inside
3.2. Regression Testing: checking every other feature with a new candle, e.g. what happens outside the house, how easy is to light that candle, etc.
3.3. Build Verification Testing: let's carve a third eye on the pumpkin and make sure it's still performing well as a previous version with 2 eyes.
3.4. Sanity Testing: does the new candle inside the pumpkin burns as stable as the previous one?
4. Ad-hoc: never made and never seen a Halloween Pumpkin before but let's test it.
5. Usability Testing: is it easy to put a candle inside? And to light in on?
6. Functional Testing: does it have a lighted candle inside?
6.1. Security Testing: can it put the house on fire?
6.2. Compatibility Testing: can you use a lamp instead of a candle?
7. Crossbrowser Testing: what if you bring it outside the house?
8. Performance Testing: how long it will take until the pumpkin start rotting?
8.1. Load Testing: what if we put 10 candles in a pumpkin?
8.2. Stress Testing: what if we smash it on the floor?
