A test or exam is an educational test designed to measure the knowledge, ability, aptitude, skill, or category in various subjects. The subject matter may be written, reading, writing, listening, or math. It is usually administered by a school or other education institution to determine the academic progress or learning of a student. Usually the test is given to a student at the start of the school year in which grades are first assigned.

Most standardized tests are computer-based examinations that require detailed procedures during the entire test period. Different tests have different test approaches. Before administering any standardized test, school districts and teachers will prepare for it in different ways. Some of the most common test approaches are stated below.

The most common test automation practice is using aligned question formats. Although aligned questions make filling out the forms easier for many tests, aligned questions are not always necessarily the right ones for a particular subject or topic. For this reason, many teachers will prepare tests using both versions of a question, one aligned and another not aligned.

Agile development also involves automated testing and manual review. While Agile software development relies more on testing than on manual review, the two approaches can still be used together. The difference between Agile software testing and manual review is that testing is done with a goal in mind. With Agile testing, a tester will use a predetermined, short list of code words or program code forms to determine if a program is correct and complete. If the tester needs to look at more than one file or line of code to find bugs, he does not need to make a full run through the file or line. In contrast, a manual review usually involves scanning a single file or a line of code and determining whether the code is correct and complete.

The test scripts contain the specifications or expectations of each step in the test scenario, along with the time it will take to complete it. The test scenario descriptions give the expected outcome or “operation” for each test case, which is what the tester will be working on. Many test suites include a number of test cases in their sample test scripts, but the test scenario should also include a list of “expects” or conditions for each test case. A good suite will include all test cases, but some test suites only include a single or a small number of test cases.

When it comes to Agile testing and automated testing, there are really two main ways to divide the two. One way is to consider them two separate methods of accomplishing the same testing task. Another way is to use the two testing methods in tandem to achieve more testing coverage or to increase the likelihood that the desired outcome will occur. When it comes to Agile, the emphasis is often on the first scenario, where there is a direct involvement by the tester (the one executing the code) in the development process. With manual testing, the tester just needs to read the test cases and follow some procedural steps, which is what automated tests do.
