A Thread (Part 2)
Functional Testing- Unit Testing
- Integration Testing
- System Testing
- Regression Testing
- Acceptance Testing
- Alpha and Beta Testing
Non-Functional testing- Performance Testing : Load and Stress Testing
- Usability Testing
- Security Testing
- Portability Testing
Unit Testing- Type of software testing where individual units or components of a software are tested.
- Performed by developer
- Goal : To isolate each part of the program and show that individual parts are correct in terms of requirements and functionality.
Integration Testing- Integrating parts of program to test them together.
- Testing of combined parts of an application to determine if they function correctly.
System Testing- All components are integrated and tested as a whole system
- Done by a Tester
Regression Testing- It is done to check that a fixed bug hasn't screwed any other part of the program or resulted in business rule violation
Acceptance Testing- Done by Quality Assurance Team
- It is done to check if the application meets the intended specifications and satisfies the client’s requirement.
- I would say it is the most important type of testing.
Alpha Testing = Unit + Integration + System Testing
- Performed by: Teams (developer and QA teams)
Beta Testing- Also called pre-release testing.
- The finished product is sent to a sample of the intended audience to test the application.
Performance Testing- Done to check the performance ( Speed, Capacity, Stability, Scalability) of the software duh..
- Types:
> Load Testing
> Stress Testing
> Load Testing
- Testing the behavior of a software by applying maximum load in terms of software accessing and manipulating large input data
>Stress Testing
- Testing the behavior of a software under abnormal conditions.
Load Testing- Testing the behavior of a software by applying maximum load in terms of software accessing and manipulating large input data
>
Stress Testing- Testing the behavior of a software under abnormal conditions.
Usability Testing- Basically testing if the software is usable or not
Security Testing- Do I really need to explain this
