Software testing is a crucial evaluation process to identify discrepancies between expected and actual outputs, ensuring product quality through verification and validation. It encompasses various techniques, including black box and white box testing, and includes multiple types such as unit, integration, functional, and performance testing. Each testing type serves specific purposes, from validating functionality to assessing usability and performance under different conditions.

Unit 1 - Activity 9 - Software Testing Reading

Software Testing

Software testing is the process of evaluation a software item to detect differences between given input and expected
output. Also to assess the feature of A software item. Testing assesses the quality of the product. Software testing is a
process that should be done during the development process. In other words software testing is a verification and
validation process.

Verification

Verification is the process to make sure the product satisfies the conditions imposed at the start of the development phase.
In other words, to make sure the product behaves the way we want it to.

Validation

Validation is the process to make sure the product satisfies the specified requirements at the end of the development phase.
In other words, to make sure the product is built as per customer requirements.

Basics of software testing

There are two basics of software testing: blackbox testing and whitebox testing.

Blackbox Testing

Black box testing is a testing technique that ignores the internal mechanism of the system and focuses on the output
generated against any input and execution of the system. It is also called functional testing.

Whitebox Testing

White box testing is a testing technique that takes into account the internal mechanism of a system. It is also called
structural testing and glass box testing.

Black box testing is often used for validation and white box testing is often used for verification.

Types of testing

There are many types of testing like

• Unit Testing
• Integration Testing
• Functional Testing
• System Testing
• Stress Testing
• Performance Testing
• Usability Testing
• Acceptance Testing
• Regression Testing
• Beta Testing

Unit Testing
Unit testing is the testing of an individual unit or group of related units. It falls under the class of white box testing. It is
often done by the programmer to test that the unit he/she has implemented is producing expected output against given
input.

Integration Testing

Integration testing is testing in which a group of components are combined to produce output. Also, the interaction
between software and hardware is tested in integration testing if software and hardware components have any relation. It
may fall under both white box testing and black box testing.

Functional Testing

Functional testing is the testing to ensure that the specified functionality required in the system requirements works. It
falls under the class of black box testing.

System Testing

System testing is the testing to ensure that by putting the software in different environments (e.g., Operating Systems) it
still works. System testing is done with full system implementation and environment. It falls under the class of black box
testing.

Stress Testing

Stress testing is the testing to evaluate how system behaves under unfavorable conditions. Testing is conducted at beyond
limits of the specifications. It falls under the class of black box testing.

Performance Testing

Performance testing is the testing to assess the speed and effectiveness of the system and to make sure it is generating
results within a specified time as in performance requirements. It falls under the class of black box testing.

Usability Testing

Usability testing is performed to the perspective of the client, to evaluate how the GUI is user-friendly? How easily can
the client learn? After learning how to use, how proficiently can the client perform? How pleasing is it to use its design?
This falls under the class of black box testing.

Acceptance Testing

Acceptance testing is often done by the customer to ensure that the delivered product meets the requirements and works as
the customer expected. It falls under the class of black box testing.

Regression Testing

Regression testing is the testing after modification of a system, component, or a group of related units to ensure that the
modification is working correctly and is not damaging or imposing other modules to produce unexpected results. It falls
under the class of black box testing.

Beta Testing

Beta testing is the testing which is done by end users, a team outside development, or publicly releasing full pre-version of
the product which is known as beta version. The aim of beta testing is to cover unexpected errors. It falls under the class
of black box testing.
