--------------------------------------------------------
> tin endure done inwards 2 ways i is Manual Testing about other is Test Automation or Automated Testing.
> Testing reckoner software manually inwards social club to detect defects without using tools or automation scripts.
> Testing Computer Software yesteryear using Automation tool or Automation script.
--------------------------------------------------------
We convey in addition to then many SDLC models available inwards the information technology industry, nosotros tin segregate them inwards to 2 categories.
i) Sequential Models (Waterfall, V Model etc...)
ii) Incremental / Iterative models (Spiral model, Agile models etc...)
--------------------------------------------------------
We convey Four levels of Testing for General or independent Software applications
i) Unit Testing Testing of private software components.
Testers: Developers
ii) Integration Testing
Testing integration or interfaces betwixt components, interactions to unlike parts of the scheme such every bit an operating system, file scheme in addition to hardware.
Testers: Developers or Independent Testers
iii) System Testing
Testing an integrated System to verify that it meets specified requirements.
Testers: Independent Testers
iv) Acceptance Testing
User Acceptance Testing
Testers: Customers /End users
Operational Acceptance Testing
System Administration staff.
Certification Testing
Testers: Certified Testers
For distributed Software applications five levels of Testing
i) Unit Testing
ii) Component Integration Testing
iii) System Testing
iv) System Integration Testing
v) Acceptance Testing
--------------------------------------------------------
i) Functional Testing
Functionality Testing
Security Testing
ii) Non Functional Testing
Performance Testing
Usability Testing
Configuration Testing
Reliability Testing
Recovery Testing
Localization Testing etc...
--------------------------------------------------------
i) Static Techniques
Static testing is the testing of the software piece of employment products manually, or alongside a prepare of tools, exactly they are non executed.
Example: Reviews, Walk trough, Inspection etc...
ii) Dynamic Techniques
> Testing that involves the execution of the software of a gene or system.
a) White box Test blueprint techniques
Statement testing
Condition testing
Decision testing etc...
b) Black box Test blueprint techniques
Equivalence partitioning / Equivalent Classes
Boundary Value Analysis
Decision tables
State transition Testing
Use representative Testing etc...
c) Experience based Techniques
Error Guessing
Exploratory Testing etc...
--------------------------------------------------------
6) Software Test Process / Life Cycle
Phases of Software Test Process

--------------------------------------------------------
i) ISO (Terminology, Process Guidelines etc...)
ii) IEEE (Terminology, Test Documentation Standards etc...)
iii) CMM/CMMI (Process)
--------------------------------------------------------
i) Test Policy
A high degree (company level) document describes principles, approach in addition to major objectives of the organization regarding Testing.
ii) Test Strategy
A high degree document of the Test Levels to endure performed in addition to the Testing inside those levels for an Organization.
iii) Test Plan
A document describing the scope, approach, resources, in addition to schedule of intended activities.
iv) Test Scenario
An item or lawsuit of a gene or scheme that could endure verified yesteryear i or to a greater extent than Test cases.
v) Test Case
A prepare of input values, execution preconditions, expected resultant in addition to execution ship service weather condition developed for a item objective or Test condition.
vi) Test Data
Data that exits earlier a examination is executed in addition to that effects or is effected yesteryear the gene or System nether test.
vii) Defect Report
A document reporting of pismire flaw inwards a gene or System that tin drive the gene or scheme to neglect to perform its required function.
viii) Test Summary Report
A document summarizing testing activities in addition to Result. It also contains evaluation of the corresponding examination items against larn out criteria.
