Checklist based testing ISTQB
The common type of software testing is to begin running the software product and make monitoring, with the expectancies that it will be not difficult to differentiate between expected and unexpected conduction. Show

Because checklists are high-level and tend to lack the detailed steps commonly found in test cases and test procedures, the knowledge of the tester is used to fill in the gaps. By removing the detailed steps, checklists are low maintenance and can be applied to multiple similar releases. Checklists can be used for any level of testing. Checklists are also used for regression testing and smoke testing.Limitations/Difficulties The high-level nature of the checklists can affect the reproducibility of test results. It is possible that several testers will interpret the checklists differently and will follow different approaches to fulfil the checklist items. This may cause different results, even though the same checklist is used. This can result in wider coverage but reproducibility is sometimes sacrificed. Checklists may also result in over-confidence regarding the level of coverage that is achieved since the actual testing depends on the tester’s judgement. Checklists can be derived from more detailed test cases or lists and tend to grow over time. Maintenance is required to ensure that the checklists are covering the important aspects of the software being tested.Coverage The coverage is as good as the checklist but, because of the high-level nature of the checklist, the results will vary based on the Test Analyst who executes the checklist. Types of Defects Typical defects found with this technique include failures resulting from varying the data, the sequence of steps or the general workflow during testing. Using checklists can help keep the testing fresh as new combinations of data and processes are allowed during testing.\
Famous Testing Areas
Checklist-based testing is a type of software testing based on the pre-planned “to-do” list of tasks called a checklist. Professional testers, who have sufficient technical experience usually complete these lists. QA (Quality Assurance) engineers use such checklists to guide the testing activities. Very often different software systems are tested in the same way to see whether it is possible to detect the special defects or manage functional conditions and data without addressing to some systematic technique. Such forms of elementary and informal testing are called ad hoc (random) testing. Checklists are used to structurize this type of testing in order not to waste time repeating the same tests. Such lists can be online, physical or mental. Commonly used testing checklists
QATestLab has a checklist for testing iOS and Android application. Besides, here is the example of usability testing checklist. Advantages of using checklists in testingChecklist-based testing is widely used by QA experts advocating for its convenience and productivity. Their knowledge and experience form the base for performance testing of a high quality. Main reasons to use this type of tests are:
Difficulties of using checklists in testing
An experience-based test design technique whereby the experienced tester uses a high-level list of items to be noted, checked, or remembered, or a set of rules or criteria against which a product has to be verified. In simple English: You have a very high level checklist and you check items off it as you test. Field notes: 1. Note that this is not the same as exploratory testing. 2. The check list is usually the most basic version of a test case. 3. This method relies heavily on the experience of the tester. 4. The experience of the tester with the system under test is more important than the general test experience of the tester. 5. The checklist does not usually support recording extensive test results.
