Software Testing Types:
Black box testing - Internal system design is not considered in this type of testing. Tests are based on requirements and functionality.
White box testing - This testing is based on knowledge of the internal logic of an application’s code. Also known as Glass box Testing. Internal software and code working should be known for this type of testing. Tests are based on coverage of code statements, branches, paths, conditions.
Unit testing - Testing of individual software components or modules. Typically done by the programmer and not by testers, as it requires detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code. may require developing test driver modules or test harnesses.
Incremental integration testing - Bottom up approach for testing i.e continuous testing of an application as new functionality is added; Application functionality and modules should be independent enough to test separately. done by programmers or by testers.
Integration testing - Testing of integrated modules to verify combined functionality after integration. Modules are typically code modules, individual applications, client and server applications on a network, etc. This type of testing is especially relevant to client/server and distributed systems.
Functional testing - This type of testing ignores the internal parts and focus on the output is as per requirement or not. Black-box type testing geared to functional requirements of an application.
System testing - Entire system is tested as per the requirements. Black-box type testing that is based on overall requirements specifications, covers all combined parts of a system.
End-to-end testing - Similar to system testing, involves testing of a complete application environment in a situation that mimics real-world use, such as interacting with a database, using network communications, or interacting with other hardware, applications, or systems if appropriate.
Sanity testing - Testing to determine if a new software version is performing well enough to accept it for a major testing effort. If application is crashing for initial use then system is not stable enough for further testing and build or application is assigned to fix.
Regression testing - Testing the application as a whole for the modification in any module or functionality. Difficult to cover all the system in regression testing so typically automation tools are used for these testing types.
Acceptance testing -Normally this type of testing is done to verify if system meets the customer specified requirements. User or customer do this testing to determine whether to accept application.
Load testing - Its a performance testing to check system behavior under load. Testing an application under heavy loads, such as testing of a web site under a range of loads to determine at what point the system’s response time degrades or fails.
Stress testing - System is stressed beyond its specifications to check how and when it fails. Performed under heavy load like putting large number beyond storage capacity, complex database queries, continuous input to system or database load.
Performance testing - Term often used interchangeably with ’stress’ and ‘load’ testing. To check whether system meets performance requirements. Used different performance and load tools to do this.
Usability testing - User-friendliness check. Application flow is tested, Can new user understand the application easily, Proper help documented whenever user stuck at any point. Basically system navigation is checked in this testing.
Install/uninstall testing - Tested for full, partial, or upgrade install/uninstall processes on different operating systems under different hardware, software environment.
Recovery testing - Testing how well a system recovers from crashes, hardware failures, or other catastrophic problems.
Security testing - Can system be penetrated by any hacking way. Testing how well the system protects against unauthorized internal or external access. Checked if system, database is safe from external attacks.
Compatibility testing - Testing how well software performs in a particular hardware/software/operating system/network environment and different combination s of above.
Comparison testing - Comparison of product strengths and weaknesses with previous versions or other similar products.
Alpha testing - In house virtual user environment can be created for this type of testing. Testing is done at the end of development. Still minor design changes may be made as a result of such testing.
Beta testing - Testing typically done by end-users or others. Final testing before releasing application for commercial purpose.

it was valuable information about types of testing
Thanks Namita, Actually I was planning to have detail description of all types but later thought that it will be a big mess in single post. I will take one type at a time for future posting.
[…] Have you wondered how to add adsense add unit in post left or right corner in post content? This was my first question when I switched to wordpress. As you can see many wordpress blogs have add units embedded in top left or right corner of the post content see example. […]

I need samples from general checklist and detailed checklist, i need this to create control chart.
It’s really good. It’s simple but giving good idea.
Hello,
my question is , in the real time after founding a bug and send it to the developer, if developer asks clear steps to better understanding of the bug, after sending also he is unable to understand then what is the status given by the developer in that situation?
HI…
THIS INFERMATION IS NICE.. I NEED FULL INFERMATION ABOUT MERCURY QUALITY CENTRE……CAN U SEND IT?
Hi..
The information provided by u is really helping out .
Can u give information about java testing?
hai ,
This my question.Plz reply answer for this.
Typically, if we know the basic knowledge for testing means that knowledge enough for all kinds software testing.
difference between functional testing and systemtesting
@ Naga Vishala - In this case developer might ask to bug reporter for more details about the bug and can make the status of bug as “Need more Info”
@Thilak - The answer is NO! Think about development, If you have theoretical knowledge of any programming language say C++, can you write a program using this language? No, you must have some hands-on knowledge. If you have basic knowledge of software testing then it’s not enough for all testing types. You can gain more knowledge of each type using your basic knowledge.
@ chengaiah - Functional testing is black box testing without considering the program structure. You verify the program using specification document. System testing is end to end application testing which includes whole application as one unit and generally tested for usability, functionality, performance, load.

any doughts send to me. my mail bodapatinaveen@yahoo.co.in
@ Aruna
Sanity testing is done on an updated version of a software i.e. after adding the changes to the software, to check if it functions in the desired way.
One example for that would be : suppose there is a new service pack for a windows operating system, then it is tested first to check whether the operating system works as required even after applying the new service pack or does it fail in any aspect.
Smoke testing is generally done immediately after the development phase is over. Its main aim is to find out that the software would provide its basic functionality and wouldnt crash completely, and to ensure that the software would be able to sustain the exhaustive list of test cases.

Hi,
I Want to know about the meaning for thisTest strategy :Its a high level document, which defines the objectives of all test stages and techniques that you apply.
Test Stratergy is nothing but, How we carry our entire Testing. How to Test?
1)What are The Techniques we are going to use in the project.
2)What are the Types of Testing we are going to use.
3)Discuss abt H/w & S/w environment involved.
4)Roles and Responbilites.
5)Risk and Conclusion. Those infomartion are discussed.
Test Plan is nothing but What to Test?
Its describe Scope of the testing, Approach of testing, Featurees to be tested & Featurees to be not tested, H/w & s/w involved, Methods, Risk, Conclusion…. those information discuss here

Hi to all, This is Venky. I am having some real-time doubts in software testing.
What do you do in Sanity Testing?
I have got a bug in my application. Then I reported it. But the developers are not accepting it as a bug. After so many negotiations they closed it as Deferred. But still I am feeling it as a bug. Because if the user uses it in such a way, definitely he will face the problem. But in the negotiations they said the user will not go in that way. What do I do now?
Hi Nazia. Here I am giving the answer for your Question.
Black Box Testing: Without knowing the internal content of the box checking the outer appearance and quality of the box. Due to this only the name comes like Black Box Testing.
In software terms “Testing the Software without knowing the internal design of the application by keeping the Functionality in mind”.
Hi Meenu
Can u please tell me what r the questions they ask in the interview. because i am also planning to attend the interviews. but i don’t have any experience. if u share your questions that is more help for me.

hello friends,
Can you tell me ,what will be the specifide result from the any project testing?
Folks,
Lot of people are asking difference between Smoke and Sanity testing. And the more info you get, more confused are you people becoming.
Let’s make it simple …
Difference between Smoke and Sanity –
Smoke testing is done to verify that the build (to be tested) is done properly. (The build is a new / updated version of software). The motive is to check that the application build is working fine and does not crash.
For example – say an application has following features – (say each feature has a page, so in this case there are 10 features; so its 10 pages)
Login, Logout, Enter info, delete info, update info, Change address, search records, retire records, print form, generate reports etc…
Here’s how you will Smoke Test it -
Check that each of the pages is displayed properly and there are no broken links between pages.
Check that the buttons on the pages are clickable (not disabled or hidden).
Check that you can traverse back and forth between pages.
Check that you can see the help section pages, legal and disclaimer section on the pages (outgoing links on the pages)
Check the look and feel of the pages (fonts and user text boxes displayed properly and no broken images or cluttered text or font scramble) – this is optional check unless you see something that is unreadable
Check that you are able to enter info into input boxes (no need to do any transactions; just check whether you are able to input text on the pages or not).
Note that you are not required to do any transactions in Smoke test. In other words you are not testing the functionality of the application but the application build itself.
Sanity Testing – is done to verify whether the new / updated build is functioning properly. (Note the difference – smoke checks the application build; sanity checks the build functionality at higher level.)
Take the above example again – say an application has following features –
Login, Logout, Enter info, delete info, update info, Change address, search records, retire records, print form, generate reports etc…
Here’s how you will Sanity Test it -
Check that the customer critical functionality is working by performing at least one transaction for each of the major features.
Your depth of sanity testing depends on the functionality of the application. Say there are 5 major features of that application. So you need to perform only one transaction for each of the feature (to verify that all the major features are working properly).
(Sanity test concentrates on testing major features. A feature is said to be major if it is accessed by customer frequently or daily and its working is important to the business. )
Now say the login, logout, enter info, delete info and generate records are the 5 main features on the application.
Sanity test -
Check that you are able to login
Check the you are able to logout
Check the you are able to enter the info and save record for new user.
Check that you are able to delete data of existing user.
Check that you can generate report for current date.
You don’t need to test rest of the features. Nor do you require to run other exhaustive test cases for each of these major features.
Note that you just have to check that the basic functioning of the major features is working. Don’t run end to end and multiple operation test cases in sanity.
Just ran the Basic test case for which that feature is designed.
Hope that now everyone has got clear understanding of Smoke and Sanity testing. And the Difference as Well.
Lets make it Simple…
Cheers,
Sameer K.

Hi
I got a lot of info from this site.. The defn for the all the testing types are ready nice…:-)
HI EVERY ONE
TELL ME HOW TO WRITE TEST CASE ? eg like mobile, fan etc
plese ergnt
A test plan is the base line for all the testing activities
A test plan addresses what to do? When to do? And how to do?
Test planning assesses the software application risks and then develops a plan to determine if the software minimizes those risks
Testers must understand the development methods and environment to effectively plan for testing
The tester must understand the new and increased risks in order to evaluate the controls in computer applications
The test plan should be focused on the identified risk
An Ideal Test Plan should comprise of:
Test Scope
Test Objective
Assumptions
Risk Analysis
Test Design
Roles and Responsibilities
Test Schedule & Resources
Test Data Management
Test Environment
Communication Approach
Test Tools
@Vijay,
In your article End to End testing is explained as wrong. The name itself will give the exact definition. Say for Example the ATM transaction, End to End testing is test to be performed from inserting a card to get cash, reciept, card. That means the entire functioniality of an application from the input to output is know as End To End Testing.
Cheers
george
ya i completely agree with George.
System Testing can be called as end to end testing
where in from the scratch of the application the entire functionality of the application is checked.Each and every part of the application is checked for ita proper functionality.
In actual testing it is the final phase of testing where the entire application is tested again for its functionality prior to User Acceptance Testing.
Hi,
m back to this page….
This time with info on System testing because people seem to be confused….
You may be asked question in interview about what is System testing ? or What is difference between Functional and System Testing ?
Functional Testing –
Everyone knows it… so I am not going to explain it in detail… to keep it short you test the functionality of the software or product during functional testing.
All the features, transactions are checked in functional testing…
The most common type of testing.
System Testing –
Like you must had read in above comments - it is the End to End type of testing.
Ok… but what does it mean?
You can test the software right after you login till you logout…. Test everything in between and system testing is done…. M just kidding … it’s not true….
Then what is system testing….
It means you check the system from all perspectives…. Check it functionally as well as non- functionally…
Check the functionality by doing functional testing.
Check the non-functional requirement like –
Usability
Accessibility
Compatibility
Localization
Performance
Ad-hoc etc..etc.. (I cannot recall rest of the types…)
In short you are supposed to test everything (all kinds of testing) in System testing. That’s why it is called as end-to-end testing…
One liner definition of system testing -
To make it simple, system testing checks the functional as well as non-functional requirement of the software.
Functional requirement affects the product directly (like its features etc…) whereas non-functional requirement will affect the product in-direclty (like page load time, its compatibility with different browsers, user friendliness, localization etc…). So it is important to check the non-functional requirement as well.
Hope everyone is clear now…
Lets make it simple…
Cheers,
Sameer K

Hi shreya
I have some idea about the database testing.In real time base supoose u will be testing Payroll System(Payslip). u wil enter the some data like as employee name ,basicsalary, empId ,etc…
it’s outerface design .then u will enter the data base and check above data will be insert into database properly or not.some times data will be insert wrong manner why becase u will must check database every time.so module u will chek compare databse.
Hope u have some idea
plese replay

Plz any one can tell difference between stress and load testing with example
Hi All,
Here are the differences you can see,
SMOKE TESTING:
1) Smoke testing originated in the hardware testing practice of turning on a new piece of hardware for the first time and considering it a success if it does not catch fire and smoke. In software industry, smoke testing is a shallow and wide approach whereby all areas of the application without getting into too deep, is tested.
2) A smoke test is scripted–either using a written set of tests or an automated test
3) A Smoke test is designed to touch every part of the application in a cursory way. It’s is shallow and wide.
4) Smoke testing will be conducted to ensure whether the most crucial functions of a program work, but not bothering with finer details. (Such as build verification).
5) Smoke testing is normal health check up to a build of an application before taking it to testing in depth.
SANITY TESTING:
1) A sanity test is a narrow regression test that focuses on one or a few areas of functionality. Sanity testing is usually narrow and deep.
2) A sanity test is usually unscripted.
3) A Sanity test is used to determine a small section of the application is still working after a minor change.
4) Sanity testing is a cursory testing; it is performed whenever a cursory testing is sufficient to prove the application is functioning according to specifications. This level of testing is a subset of regression testing.
5) sanity testing is to verify whether requirements are met or not, checking all features breadth-first.
Hope this helps…

plz tell me what is CMM level company
thanks and regards
manjula
Hi Manjula,
CMM means Capability Maturity model,Its a methodology used to refine and improve software developement process in a software company.
Their are 5 levels of CMM. Any companies which practices the rules will be called as a CMM level company. Once again depending on the level which the follow. They will be certified.
CMM is a thing of past it has been successfuly replaced by CMMI ( Capability Maturity model integration).
Regards,
Tiger2K
Continued…
The CMM defines five levels of software process maturity, based on an
organization’s support for certain key process areas (KPAs).
Level 1 (initial) describes an organization with an immature or undefined process.
Level 2 (repeatable),
Level 3 (defined),
Level 4 (managed),
and Level 5(optimizing), respectively, describe organizations with successively higher levels of software process maturity.

what are the mobile game checkpoints?
@Prasad
In both the contest you are testing the software that built as a whole.
Testing Techniques for the both are same.
But the Testing Process/Approach varies.
Let me tell you in detail, the difference between the Application Dev and Product Dev.
Applications were meant for the clients where as the Products for customers.
We build application to fulfill the client needs(Specific to a particular client).
Where as the products we design depending upon market needs to sell to many customer.
Testing procedure varies depending upon the Development process and the quality adherences of the companies.
Let me know if you need more information
The definations given are nice

Hi Shreya,
This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer. i have mention Database Testing link as given Below:
Data bas testing basically include the following.
1)Data validity testing.
2)Data Integritity testing
3)Performance related to data base.
4)Testing of Procedure,triggers and functions.
for doing data validity testing you should be good in SQL queries
For data integrity testing you should know about referintial integrity and different constraint.
For performance related things you should have idea about the table structure and design.
for testing Procedure triggers and functions you should be able to understand the same.

Hi All,
This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer. i have mentioned Difference between Load, Stress and Volume Testing as given Below:
Load, Stress and Volume testing are the part of
Performence testing.
Load Testing: Load Testing gauges how efficently the
application performs when its functions are tested with
varying workloads.
Stress Testing:Stress Testing looks to see how well the
software reacts and compensates when resources are low.
Volume Testing:Volume Testing tests the functional limits
of the application by increasing the amount of data thrown
at it untill it can no longer cope with the flow.
Thanks,
Suresh

Hi Renuka,
This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer. i have mentioned Regression Testing as given Below:
What is Regression Testing?
Introduction:
This article attempts to take a close look at the process and techniques in Regression Testing.
What is Regression Testing?
If a piece of Software is modified for any reason testing needs to be done to ensure that it works as specified and that it has not negatively impacted any functionality that it offered previously. This is known as Regression Testing.
Regression Testing attempts to verify:
- That the application works as specified even after the changes/additions/modification were made to it
- The original functionality continues to work as specified even after changes/additions/modification to the software application
- The changes/additions/modification to the software application have not introduced any new bugs
When is Regression Testing necessary?
Regression Testing plays an important role in any Scenario where a change has been made to a previously tested software code. Regression Testing is hence an important aspect in various Software Methodologies where software changes enhancements occur frequently.
Any Software Development Project is invariably faced with requests for changing Design, code, features or all of them.
Some Development Methodologies embrace change.
For example ‘Extreme Programming’ Methodology advocates applying small incremental changes to the system based on the end user feedback.
Each change implies more Regression Testing needs to be done to ensure that the System meets the Project Goals.
Why is Regression Testing important?
Any Software change can cause existing functionality to break.
Changes to a Software component could impact dependent Components.
It is commonly observed that a Software fix could cause other bugs.
All this affects the quality and reliability of the system. Hence Regression Testing, since it aims to verify all this, is very important.
Making Regression Testing Cost Effective:
Every time a change occurs one or more of the following scenarios may occur:
- More Functionality may be added to the system
- More complexity may be added to the system
- New bugs may be introduced
- New vulnerabilities may be introduced in the system
- System may tend to become more and more fragile with each change
After the change the new functionality may have to be tested along with all the original functionality.
With each change Regression Testing could become more and more costly.
To make the Regression Testing Cost Effective and yet ensure good coverage one or more of the following techniques may be applied:
- Test Automation: If the Test cases are automated the test cases may be executed using scripts after each change is introduced in the system. The execution of test cases in this way helps eliminate oversight, human errors,. It may also result in faster and cheaper execution of Test cases. However there is cost involved in building the scripts.
- Selective Testing: Some Teams choose execute the test cases selectively. They do not execute all the Test Cases during the Regression Testing. They test only what they decide is relevant. This helps reduce the Testing Time and Effort.
Regression Testing – What to Test?
Since Regression Testing tends to verify the software application after a change has been made everything that may be impacted by the change should be tested during Regression Testing. Generally the following areas are covered during Regression Testing:
- Any functionality that was addressed by the change
- Original Functionality of the system
- Performance of the System after the change was introduced
Regression Testing – How to Test?
Like any other Testing Regression Testing Needs proper planning.
For an Effective Regression Testing to be done the following ingredients are necessary:
- Create a Regression Test Plan: Test Plan identified Focus Areas, Strategy, Test Entry and Exit Criteria. It can also outline Testing Prerequisites, Responsibilities, etc.
- Create Test Cases: Test Cases that cover all the necessary areas are important. They describe what to Test, Steps needed to test, Inputs and Expected Outputs. Test Cases used for Regression Testing should specifically cover the functionality addressed by the change and all components affected by the change. The Regression Test case may also include the testing of the performance of the components and the application after the change(s) were done.
- Defect Tracking: As in all other Testing Levels and Types It is important Defects are tracked systematically, otherwise it undermines the Testing Effort.

Suresh

Hi Yamini,
This is Suresh Working as a Test Engineer. i have mentioned Test Strategy as given Below:
Test strategy:i hope that brief version of your test cases
Test strategy is a company level document and which says
the approch for testing.the test strategy doc also says
that the scope,business issues,test delivarables,tools
used ,risk analysis etc.

hai
If any one have tutorial on QTP version 9.5 plz give me the link
Thanks and regards
Manjula
it was valuable information about types of testing
same as think namita about this information. very good namita
Ohh my God! Manjula is geting so many Doubts that Tiger was unable to give answers also! So, i request other people also to contribute and clear off her doubts.
Hi Vijay,
What is Testing Technique?
Difference between Testing Technique, Testing Types, Testing Methodologies.
Is Black & White box testing is Testing Technique or Type of testing.
Please clarify me
black and white box testing r testing technique
type of testing r load testing,performance testing, stress testing monkey testing,unit testing,system testing etc…….
