TYPES OF SOFTWARE TESTING

(CL Hours: As per curriculum requirement – usually 6 to 8 Hrs)

🔹 1. Manual Testing

Testing performed manually by human testers without using any automation tools.

🔸 Use: Small applications, UI/UX testing


🔸 Pros: Easy to start, no tools needed
🔸 Cons: Time-consuming, error-prone

🔹 2. Automation Testing

Testing done using automated tools/scripts.

🔸 Use: Regression, performance testing


🔸 Tools: Selenium, JUnit, QTP, Appium
🔸 Pros: Fast, repeatable
🔸 Cons: Initial setup time, scripting knowledge needed

🔹 3. Functional Testing

Tests what the system does (features, actions, results).

✅ Example: Login feature, booking system


🔸 Types: Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing

🔹 4. Non-Functional Testing

Tests how the system works (performance, speed, security).

✅ Example: Load time, data encryption


🔸 Includes:

 Performance Testing

 Load Testing

 Stress Testing

 Security Testing

 Usability Testing

🔹 5. Black Box Testing

Tester does not know the internal code – focuses on input and output.
✅ Example: Entering login credentials
🔸 Performed at: System & Acceptance Level

🔹 6. White Box Testing

Tester knows internal code/logic – tests paths, loops, conditions.

✅ Example: Unit testing by developers


🔸 Includes:

 Statement coverage

 Branch coverage

 Path testing

🔹 7. Grey Box Testing

Combination of black and white box – tester has limited knowledge of internal code.

✅ Example: Integration testing

🔹 8. Unit Testing

Tests individual components or functions.

🔸 Done by: Developers


🔸 Tool: JUnit, NUnit

🔹 9. Integration Testing

Tests interaction between modules.

🔸 Types:

 Top-down

 Bottom-up

 Big bang

🔹 10. System Testing

Tests the entire system as a whole.

🔸 Verifies functional and non-functional requirements.

🔹 11. Acceptance Testing


Done by the end-user or client to approve software delivery.

🔸 Types: Alpha and Beta Testing

🔹 12. Regression Testing

Re-running test cases to ensure new changes didn’t break existing features.

✅ Use: After bug fixing or new features

🔹 13. Smoke Testing

Quick tests to check basic functionality.

✅ Example: Does app launch and basic features work?

🔹 14. Sanity Testing

Checks whether a specific functionality or bug fix works after minor changes.

✅ Example: Is the “search” feature fixed?

🔹 15. Performance Testing

Checks the speed and responsiveness under load.

🔸 Tools: LoadRunner, JMeter

🔹 16. Security Testing

Validates that the app is secure from threats and data breaches.

🔸 Checks: Authentication, data encryption, SQL injection, etc.
