Types of Software Testing

#41) System Testing

Under System Testing technique, the entire system is tested as per the requirements. It is a Black-box type testing that is based on overall requirement specifications and covers all the combined parts of a system.

#42) Unit Testing

Testing of an individual software component or module is termed as Unit Testing. It is typically done 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 or test harnesses.

#43) Usability Testing

Under this testing, User-friendliness check is done. Application flow is tested to know if a new user can understand the application easily or not, Proper help documented if a user gets stuck at any point. Basically, system navigation is checked in this testing.

#44) Vulnerability Testing

The testing which involves identifying of weakness in the software, hardware and the network is known as Vulnerability Testing. Malicious programs, the hacker can take control of the system, if it is vulnerable to such kind of attacks, viruses, and worms. So it is necessary to check if those systems undergo Vulnerability Testing before production. It may identify critical defects, flaws in the security.

#45) Volume Testing

It is a type of non-functional testing performed by the performance testing team. The software or application undergoes a huge amount of data and Volume Testing checks the system behavior and response time of the application when the system came across such high volume of data. This high volume of data may impact the system’s performance and speed of the processing time.

#46) White Box Testing

This testing is based on the knowledge about the internal logic of an application’s code. It is also known as Glass box Testing. Internal software and code working should be known for performing this type of testing. Under this tests are based on the coverage of code statements, branches, paths, conditions etc.

Conclusion

The above-mentioned testing types are just a part of testing. However, there is still a list of more than 100+ types of testing, but all testing types are not used in all types of projects. So I have covered some common Types of Software Testing which are mostly used in the testing life cycle.

Also, there are alternative definitions or processes used in different organizations, but the basic concept is same everywhere. These testing types, processes, and their implementation methods keep changing as and when the project, requirements, and scope changes.

it is very usefull in software testers &students,alpha testing ,beta testing sequrity testing……..very usefull
