Different software testing types with Details
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.
Different
types of software testing
Functional
test types include:
• Unit
test
• Integration

testing
• Load
testing
• Stress
test
*
Volume Testing
*
Safety tests

Compatibility testing
*
Install Tests
*
Recovery Tests
*
Reliability testing
*
Usability Tests
*
Conformity assessment

Localization Tests
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.
The
Test team ensures that the build is stable and that a detailed test
level is continued. Smoking test checks that there is no
show-stopper defect in the build that prevents the Test team from
testing the application in detail.
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. These tests are based on
coverage of code statements, branches, paths,conditions, etc.
13)
Black Box Testing
The
internal system design is not considered in this type of test. Tests
are based on requirements and functions.
