Hi Shobana -
This page is a good place to start:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/QA/Browser_testing/How_to_contribute
That provides an introduction to Cucumber and associated technologies
that are being used by the Wikimedia Foundation (WMF) to automate test
cases at a "black box" level.
Also, as Anjana mentioned, you might want to join the /#wikimedia-qa/
IRC channel - quite a few of us who do QA work for the WMF hang out
there, so we can try to answer your questions as you work through some
of your first tests!
Cheers,
Jeff

Subject: Re: [QA] Pair programming Friday for fun and profit
This session was very useful to me in terms of getting started. I had
some basic questions like: What is mediawiki and how to start to
contribute in testing, what are mediawiki extensions etc,.The usual
newbie questions. As i am interested in exploratory testing, Zeljko
suggested that Visual Editor would be a good place for me to start.He
explained where the source is kept, how bugs are filed, The test
environments used and many other basic stuff. He also shared his
screen to show how to edit an article on beta. Thanks to Chris
McMahon, all these details can now be found on the QA page (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Quality_assurance).
Another thing that I was struggling with was the IRC. I was using
#mediawiki channel and wondering why I was the only person there.
Zeljko corrected me and said the channel was #wikimedia :). Pairing
with Zeljko has given me direction and now I at least know where to
look on wiki :). Thanks Zeljko.

I want to pair with you! ( ♫ pair the night away ♪... Rod
Temperton for Michael Jackson) Later in the day is better.
I would like to convert InezK's Java Selenium tests for VE to
cucumber.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Planning_and_testing#QA_tests
I was traveling last week so I did not have the time to write
reports from pairing sessions with S Page and Anjana Ranganathan.
S and I were working on converting a Selenium test from Java to
Ruby. I could not find the commit in Gerrit. S, did you push the
commit? Can you write a few words about the pairing session?
Anjana and I have been talking about how to get involved in
testing MediaWiki. Unfortunately, I do not have any notes. Anjana,
can you write a few words about the pairing session?
Pairing sessions continue next Friday. Three people are interested
(so far). I will try to pair with all of them (separately) next
Friday. Let's see how it goes.
Željko
