Study Notes
Types of Testing
- Unit Testing: Testing individual units of code, such as functions or methods, to ensure they work as expected.
- Integration Testing: Testing how multiple units of code work together to ensure they integrate correctly.
- System Testing: Testing the entire system, including all components, to ensure it meets the requirements.
- Acceptance Testing: Testing to ensure the system meets the user's acceptance criteria.
Testing Levels
- Black Box Testing: Testing without knowledge of the internal workings of the system.
- White Box Testing: Testing with knowledge of the internal workings of the system.
- Gray Box Testing: Testing with partial knowledge of the internal workings of the system.
Testing Techniques
- Equivalence Partitioning: Dividing input data into partitions and testing each partition at least once.
- Boundary Value Analysis: Testing at the boundaries of input data, such as minimum and maximum values.
- State Transition Testing: Testing the different states of a system and the transitions between them.
- Decision Table-Based Testing: Using decision tables to identify and test different scenarios.
Test Case Design
- Test Case: A set of inputs, expected results, and steps to test a specific scenario.
- Test Script: A detailed, step-by-step procedure to execute a test case.
- Test Data: Data used to test the system, including input data, expected results, and sample data.
Test Automation
- Automated Testing: Using software to execute tests, reducing manual testing efforts.
- Test Automation Framework: A set of tools and guidelines for automating tests.
- Test Scripting: Writing scripts to automate tests, using programming languages or specialized tools.
Defects and Debugging
- Defect: A flaw or error in the system that causes it to fail or produce incorrect results.
- Debugging: The process of identifying and fixing defects in the system.
- Defect Reporting: Documenting defects, including steps to reproduce, expected results, and actual results.
