Hi, Nice question But i think it depends on the projects to projects.Best is if it has some somke test cases that will work out There may be many builds in one day, so some time u may not even have time to execute all the test cases so at that time by just on ur experience pick the important things like EAI is up or down, is it picking all the information from DataBase, all the links are working fine or not.

Hi,

Usually you will be provided with build instructions manual( which contians sequence of steps how to proceed with your build deployment) as part of Test Execution phase. This is one important point as part of your Test Execution entry criteria. Which has to be verified by tester before he starts testing.

If you are using a configuration management tool for maitaining your src builds of your applications, the src files can be complied/consolidated based on the build label version into a total build (if it is J2EE appli it will be EAR. If it is .NET appl then it will be EXE).

The complied build will be fetched from configuration tool and deployed into the server using the steps listed in the instructions manual.

If src files are not labeled or checked in properly in the tool then old labeled files will be fetched for the build complilation and the resulted build may result into problems and inproper functionaning of application. Which intern may result to critical, showstopper or major defects.

This is also called installation testing.

I think i have answered your question. If any more clarifications required please mail me at idreams27 AT yahoo DOT vom
