Basic Types of Software Testing

There are so many types of testing that distinguish and for which you have come up with your own definitions, most of the existing types you may not come across at work, but you need to know about them both for interviews and for general development in the field of testing.

So, from the numerous list of types of testing I’ll highlight and I will give definitions of the main types of testing in my opinion that are widely used by testers and other persons interested in a quality product.

Acceptance testing
This is a test aimed at concluding whether our application is suitable for use or whether it is worth finalizing or fixing something. Such testing is usually carried out on the customer side after the development and testing of functionality. Tests are written or conceived and usually performed by the customer.

Functional testing
Functional testing is testing the functionality and behavior of our program in order to make sure that the behavior of the program and its functionality comply with the requirements of the functional specification. Usually performed as a black box test , feeding some data set to the input and waiting for something to be output

Smoke testing
Testing the main application modules to determine if the program is suitable for releasing a new version. It is usually carried out before a major release of a new version of an application, which includes new modules. It is carried out to convince that the new modules work correctly and that the old modules and functionality also did not break and works correctly

Security Testing
Checking access rights, impossibility of unauthorized entry into the program, SQL injection, XSS attacks. We verify that the application meets the necessary security requirements.


Stress Testing
This is testing an application or an individual module at the limit or above its capabilities. Conducted to determine this boundary and the behavior when crossing this boundary. Get a glitch and analyze if this border is enough at the current moment of the development of the application project

Usability Testing
Checking how easy a user can learn and use our application. Conducted to optimize, improve and simplify the interface to an intuitive. This can include all sorts of tips, helpers, user-friendly design of elements, minimizing the steps to go through to access the function, etc.

What is a Test Suite or Test Suite?


What is a Test Suite and what is it for?


Test Suite is a set of test cases that are combined in that they relate to one module under test, functionality, priority or one type of testing. Each test suite consists of more than one test case and is often performed by the entire "bundle" in the testing process.


Test cases are combined into test suites for greater convenience when passing test cases, passing them sequentially from module to module, from one type of testing to another and not chaotically, rushing from one corner to the corner, leaving most of the module or overall functionality unchecked.

Top 4 challenges of non functional testing

In any software testing project, we do extensively two sorts of testing – functional testing and non practical testing. Functional testing is finished by utilizing the functional particulars gave by the customer or by utilizing the structure determinations like use cases gave by the plan group. On opposite the non functional testing is very intricate and regularly abstract instead of functional testing. Here the customer attempts to report what they anticipate from the framework regarding how quick, how effectively, how securely, and so forth. Presently in this article we will check a portion of the basic difficulties of non functional testing : 1.  Requirements are too subjective:  In numerous cases, the non functional necessities are excessively nonexclusive and subject to translation. Like individuals may state, "application must reaction immediately when the client makes a hunt" or "the application must be secure" and so forth. Presently while doing ...

Why Do We Need Performance Testing For Our Digital Innovations

With new technologies emerging every day, the way we look at things has changed completely. With one voice command, your work is done. With technologies like Siri and Alexa, the human work has come to the minimum.  There are new innovations daily, and it is just enhancing the human-machine link. Performance testing helps us to determine the effectiveness and efficiency of software, application or a computer. This process involves qualitative tests which are conducted to see the effectiveness and efficiency. Importance of Digital Transformation Going digital would not mean to add more applications on your phone or have more likes on the post that was posted on Facebook or Instagram but would mean being in touch with the ongoing and rapid changes happening in today's world. Being in touch with the rapid changes in today's world has become difficult to keep up with. Digital technology affects all spheres of business, be it the way you engage with the clients,...

What is Boundary Value Analysis Testing

Boundary Value Analysis testing is a software testing technique used to validate application functionality while processing boundary conditions. Also, we can consider that this is one of the Software Testing Techniques available in Black Box testing This is one of the most effective software testing techniques to find defects. Boundary Value Analysis Testing with Example:  We will see how Boundary Value Testing is used to test below requirement Requirement: Risk assessment team in a credit card department of a bank requires to monitor payments when each transaction of an amount greater than or equal to Rs 1, 000, 00 is made more than or equal to 2 times in a day The above requirement is developed technically as below All credit card transactions for a day are captured in a mainframe file called dataset2. Dataset above as in step 1 is loaded daily into a database table called credit card transactions A COBOL program is developed which picks up the data from database t...
