Testing Types

Testing types through which an application or software can be tested:

  • Installation Testing
 This test will provide us the satisfaction that the system is installed correctly and work as similar as production environment.
  • Compatibility Testing
 In this test we test the functionality of an app/software in different hardware and software environment.
Here we focus on Hardware platform, Operating system, Database, Browser etc which all will necessary element to run that application/software. Most of the time the reason for failure of application /software is compatibility issue.
  • Smoke and Sanity Testing
Smoke testing: It is scripted and wide testing which take all important features to perform high level testing.
Sanity testing: It is unscripted deep testing which take some most important features and perform high level testing. It must and should have to perform.
  • Regression Testing
This type of testing will mainly held to find the defect while major changes has been occurred in the code. Major changes means adding some features, removing some features or modifying some features to the application/software. Due to these changes in the code the other features should not be affected.
  • Acceptance Testing
 In this type of testing we focus on that the application/software which was developed by the developers will suits for the SRS and satisfies for all the features.
  • Alpha Testing
This type of testing will be performed in developer's site by the users/customers. This test will be performed before the beta-test.  This is the unit, module or component test.

  • Beta Testing
This test will comes after alpha-test and is the pre-release version of the application/software which is available for selected users/customers. This is initial system test.

  • Functional Testing
This testing will refers to specific operation performed by the specific function of code without regard to the final program structure.
  • Destructive Testing
In this type of testing, we check out for the specimen's failure by applying load or stress to the application/software.
  • Software Performance Testing
In this test, by applying particular workload we check out for performance of system/sub-system w.r.t. developed software/application. 
  • Usability Testing
This test will mainly focus on the user interface. The interface should easy to use and understandable by the user.
  • Security Testing
If any application/software posses some confidential data then this type of testing is important to secure that from the hackers.
  • Globalization Testing
If any software/application will be develop in multiple languages then its called as globalization and for testing such type of application/software is known as globalization testing.
It is of two types: 
  1. Internationalization
  2. Localization

Overview Of Software Testing

Software Testing Testing of app can never identify all the defects. Its doesn't matter we are testing on which type of app. By the definition of software testing we all knows, Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test. It can also gives us an objective, independent view on the software or app to provide the allowance of business for appreciate and understand the risk of the software to implement that. Software testing only can be stated us the process of validating and verifying a software/app that: it is working as expected, it can be implemented with the same circumstances, it meets the requirements that guided its design and development, and last but most important that it should satisfies the need of stakeholders. So in other words we can say that, "Software testing is a process of finding or identifying defects in software/app". It is verifying the f...

Waterfall Model

Image
Waterfall Model: Water fall model is a traditional model for software development life cycle(SDLC). It is considered as classic development model. This model describes the development method in linear and sequential manner.  This type of development is having a distinct goal for each phase. It is the one-way development process. If the development of one phase is over then only we can switch for next phase and there is no turning point for go back. The image shown here is regarding the process of waterfall model which shows us the flow of life cycle for a system.  In waterfall model we follow the following phases: Project Planning Requirement Collection Feasible Study Design HLD(High Level Design) LLD(Low Level Design) Development Testing Installation/Acceptance Maintenance                -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brief of all the phases Project Planning In this phase, ...

Types of Testing

Types Of Software Testing To describe the testers and type of testing traditionally software testing methodology are divided into White Box Testing, Black Box Testing and Grey Box Testing. Brief Description of all 3 types of testing: White Box Testing White box testing will also be calling by few other names viz. Unit testing,  Open Box Testing, Clear Box testing, Glass Box Testing, Transparent Testing and Structural Testing. Entire white box testing is done by Developers. In this the developers will test each and every line of the code in the program. The internal structure or working of the program will be tested here. After performing white box testing the developers forwards the software/app to testing team. The testing team will perform black box testing on that software/app and checks for behavior or functionality against the requirement and if finds any defect intimate regarding that to developers. The developers fixes that defect and perform white box testing the...
