Steps of Pair Testing in Software Testing

Step 1 Setting, of Pair Testing 

• The team members should obligate together. It is not going to work when we try to force cooperation, so we need to create to workable atmosphere.
• There should be a separate room or table where the team members can perform without being interrupted. They should also switch off their mobile phone and notifications for better work.  
• The work place consists of two people who would sit behind one desk. You can’t force people if there is no space.

 Step 2 Preparing Pair Testing Session 

• We should create an ET charter.
• We should define the concentration and syllabus of the test.
• We should elaborate the aims or the goals for the test.
• We should fix a time limit to carry out the test. Normally one session is ninety minutes.
• We should plan the meeting in a coordinate manner.

Step 3 Execution Of Pair Testing Session 

• While carrying out the session the team members should discuss the test parts and how deeply the test should be. The test should be with the targets, focused and the part of the test as described in the ET charter.
• The first team member (the driver) controls the keyboard and mouse and the second team member analyses, ask a question, and prepare notes.

Step 4 Pair Testing(PT) Finishing

• After the completion of Pair Testing session, the discoveries will be submitted to the bug registration system.
• If needed and not completed. The ET charter will be upgraded, the aim test will be tested where problems were found and other remarks will be checked.
• The scope of the ET charter is a short calculation of the PT session, what has been done well, and what should be looked after for improvement.

In this article, we are deeply learning about the Pair testing which includes the method of Working with more members in a team with the same feature development purpose. A detailed guide to the same is mentioned below:
