Software Testing


Software testing is widely used technology because it is compulsory to test each
and every software before deployment.

Our Software testing tutorial includes all topics of Software testing such as
Methods such as Black Box Testing, White Box Testing, Visual Box Testing
and Gray Box Testing. Levels such as Unit Testing, Integration Testing,
Regression Testing, Functional Testing. System Testing, Acceptance Testing,
Alpha Testing, Beta Testing, Non-Functional testing, Security Testing,
Portability Testing.

What is Software Testing
Software testing is a process of identifying the correctness of software by
considering its all attributes (Reliability, Scalability, Portability, Re-usability,
Usability) and evaluating the execution of software components to find the
software bugs or errors or defects.

,Software testing provides an independent view and objective of the software
and gives surety of fitness of the software. It involves testing of all components
under the required services to confirm that whether it is satisfying the specified
requirements or not. The process is also providing the client with information
about the quality of the software.

Testing is mandatory because it will be a dangerous situation if the software
fails any of time due to lack of testing. So, without testing software cannot be
deployed to the end user.

What is Testing

Testing is a group of techniques to determine the correctness of the application
under the predefined script but, testing cannot find all the defect of application.
The main intent of testing is to detect failures of the application so that failures
can be discovered and corrected. It does not demonstrate that a product
functions properly under all conditions but only that it is not working in some
specific conditions.

Testing furnishes comparison that compares the behavior and state of software
against mechanisms because the problem can be recognized by the mechanism.
The mechanism may include past versions of the same specified product,
comparable products, and interfaces of expected purpose, relevant standards, or
other criteria but not limited up to these.

Testing includes an examination of code and also the execution of code in
various environments, conditions as well as all the examining aspects of the
code. In the current scenario of software development, a testing team may be
separate from the development team so that Information derived from testing
can be used to correct the process of software development.

The success of software depends upon acceptance of its targeted audience, easy
graphical user interface, strong functionality load test, etc. For example, the
audience of banking is totally different from the audience of a video game.
Therefore, when an organization develops a software product, it can assess
whether the software product will be beneficial to its purchasers and other
audience.

,Type of Software testing

We have various types of testing available in the market, which are used to test
the application or the software.

With the help of below image, we can easily understand the type of software
testing:




Manual testing

The process of checking the functionality of an application as per the customer
needs without taking any help of automation tools is known as manual testing.
While performing the manual testing on any application, we do not need any
specific knowledge of any testing tool, rather than have a proper understanding
of the product so we can easily prepare the test document.

, Manual testing can be further divided into three types of testing, which are as
follows:

o White box testing
o Black box testing
o Gray box testin



Automation testing

Automation testing is a process of converting any manual test cases into the test
scripts with the help of automation tools, or any programming language is
known as automation testing. With the help of automation testing, we can
enhance the speed of our test execution because here, we do not require any
human efforts. We need to write a test script and execute those scripts.
