Software Testing Types

Types of Tests

• Unit Test: A test that focuses on individual units of code, such as functions or methods, to ensure they are working correctly.
• Integration Test: A test that combines multiple units of code to ensure they work together seamlessly.
• System Test: A test that evaluates the entire system, including all components and interactions, to ensure it meets the required specifications.
• Acceptance Test: A test that verifies the system meets the user's requirements and expectations.

Test Levels

• Component Testing: Testing individual components or modules of the system.
• System Testing: Testing the entire system as a whole.
• Acceptance Testing: Testing the system to ensure it meets the user's requirements.

Test Techniques

• Black Box Testing: Testing the system without knowing the internal workings, focusing on inputs and outputs.
• White Box Testing: Testing the system with knowledge of the internal workings, focusing on specific paths and scenarios.
• Gray Box Testing: A combination of black box and white box testing, with some knowledge of the internal workings.

Test Case Design

• Equivalence Partitioning: Dividing input data into partitions and testing each partition at least once.
• Boundary Value Analysis: Testing the boundaries and limits of input data.
• State Transition Testing: Testing the system's behavior as it transitions between different states.

Test Automation

• Unit Testing Frameworks: Tools that assist in writing and running unit tests, such as JUnit or PyUnit.
• Test Automation Tools: Tools that automate the testing process, such as Selenium or Appium.

Test Techniques

• Black box testing is a type of testing where the internal workings of the system are unknown, and the focus is on inputs and outputs.
• White box testing is a type of testing where the internal workings of the system are known, and the focus is on specific paths and scenarios.
• Gray box testing is a combination of black box and white box testing, with some knowledge of the internal workings.
