    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 different units of code work together to ensure they integrate correctly.
    • System Testing: Testing the entire system to ensure it meets the requirements and works as expected.
    • Acceptance Testing: Testing to ensure the system meets the acceptance criteria and is ready for release.

    Testing Levels

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

    Testing Techniques

    • Equivalence Partitioning: Dividing input data into partitions and testing each partition at least once.
    • Boundary Value Analysis: Testing the boundaries of input data, such as minimum and maximum values.
    • State Transition Testing: Testing the different states of a system and how it transitions between them.
    • Decision Table-Based Testing: Testing based on the logic of the system, using decision tables to identify test cases.

    Testing Artifacts

    • Test Plan: A document outlining the testing approach, scope, and schedule.
    • Test Case: A set of steps and expected results to test a specific aspect of the system.
    • Test Script: A set of instructions to execute a test case.
    • Test Data: The data used to test the system, including inputs and expected outputs.

    Automated Testing

    • Unit Testing Frameworks: Tools such as JUnit, NUnit, and PyUnit that provide a structure for writing unit tests.
    • Test Automation Frameworks: Tools such as Selenium, Appium, and TestComplete that provide a structure for automating tests.
    • CI/CD Pipelines: Automated pipelines that integrate testing into the development process.

    Testing Challenges

    • Test Data Management: Managing and maintaining test data to ensure it remains relevant and accurate.
    • Test Environment Management: Managing and maintaining test environments to ensure they are stable and consistent.
    • Defect Tracking: Tracking and managing defects found during testing to ensure they are resolved.
    • Test Automation Maintenance: Maintaining and updating automated tests to ensure they remain relevant and accurate.
