Testing

Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its components to determine whether it meets specified requirements. It aims to identify gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrast to the actual requirements.

Types of Testing

Manual Testing

• Testers execute test cases without automation tools


• Suitable for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing


• Requires human intervention for test execution

Automated Testing



• Uses automation tools to execute test cases


• Faster execution and reusable test scripts


• Ideal for regression testing and performance testing

Testing Levels

Unit Testing



• Tests individual components or modules


• Typically done by developers


• Verifies that each unit functions as designed

Integration Testing



• Tests combined parts of an application


• Determines if modules work together correctly


• Identifies interface defects

System Testing



• Tests the complete integrated system


• Validates end-to-end system specifications


• Includes functional and non-functional testing

Acceptance Testing



• Validates if the system meets business requirements


• Performed by end-users or clients


• Determines readiness for deployment

Testing Methodologies

Black Box Testing



• Tests functionality without knowledge of internal code structure


• Focuses on input and output

White Box Testing



• Tests internal structures or workings of an application


• Requires knowledge of internal code

Gray Box Testing



• Combination of black box and white box testing


• Partial knowledge of internal structure

Common Testing Types

• Functional Testing: Verifies specific functions work as expected


• Performance Testing: Evaluates system performance under load


• Security Testing: Identifies vulnerabilities and security risks


• Usability Testing: Assesses user-friendliness and user experience


• Regression Testing: Ensures new changes don't break existing functionality


• Compatibility Testing: Checks performance across different environments

Testing Process



• Requirement Analysis


• Test Planning


• Test Case Development


• Test Environment Setup


• Test Execution


• Test Cycle Closure

Benefits of Testing



• Improves software quality


• Reduces development costs


• Enhances customer satisfaction


• Identifies defects early


• Provides reliability metrics


• Ensures compliance with requirements
