What are the different types of software testing? As a Tester, we know the different types of software tests such as functional tests, non-functional tests, automation tests, Agile Tests and their subtypes, etc. Each of us would have encountered different types of Tests on our test journey.
Functional test types include: • Unit test • Integration testing • System testing * Mental health testing * Smoking test * Interface test • Regression * Beta / Acceptance
Non-functional test types include: • Performance testing • Load testing • Stress test * Volume Testing * Safety tests * Compatibility testing * Install Tests * Recovery Tests * Reliability testing
1) Alpha Test It is the most common type of Tests used in the software industry. The objective of this test is to identify all possible problems or defects before it is released to the market or to the user. 2) Ad-hoc Tests The name itself suggests that this test is carried out on an ad hoc basis, i.e. without reference to the test case, and also without a plan or documentation for such kind of Tests. The purpose of this check is to find the defects and to break the application by running an application flow or random functionality.
3) Beta Test Beta testing is a formal type of software testing performed by the customer. It is carried out in the real environment before the product is put on the market for the actual final consumer. 4) component testing It is usually performed by developers after completion of unit Tests. Component testing involves testing multiple functionalities as a single code, and your goal is to determine whether there is a defect after connecting these multiple functionalities together.
5) Functional Testing This type of testing ignores the internal parts and focuses only on the output to check whether it is according to the requireTypes of software tests: different testing types with Details 6) integration testing This type of Testing all integrated modules to verify the combined functionality after integration is called Integration Test. Modules are typically code modules, individual applications, client and server applications in a network, etc.
7) Non-Functional Testing It is a type of Tests for which each organization has a separate team, usually called a Non-Functional Test (NFT) team or Performance team. 8) Regression Tests Testing an application as a whole for modification in a module or functionality is called regression testing. It is difficult to cover the entire system in regression tests, so automation testing tools are typically used for these types of Tests.
9) security testing It is a kind of Tests that are carried out by a special Team of testers. A system can be penetrated by any hacking(security) way. 10) Smoke testing When a new build is provided by the development team, the Software Test team validates the build and ensures that there is no major Problem.
11) unit testing Testing a single software component or module is called unit testing. It is usually performed by the programmer and not by testers, as it requires a detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code. It may also require developing test driver modules. 12) White Box Testing White Box testing is based on knowledge of the internal logic of an application's code. It is also known as glass box Test. Internal software and code work should be known for this type of testing. 13) Black Box Testing The internal system design is not considered in this type of test. Tests are based on requirements and functions.
