10. Testing Types

The document outlines various types of software testing, categorized into Functional and Non-Functional Testing. Functional Testing includes subtypes like Smoke, Sanity, Unit, Integration, System, UAT, Retesting, and Regression, focusing on specific inputs and expected outputs. Non-Functional Testing assesses system performance under different conditions, with types such as Load, Stress, Endurance, Volume, Security, Installation, Accessibility, Configuration, Globalization, Localization, and Scalability.

TESTING TYPES

Question’s and Answer’s


Interview Questions and Answers

1. What is mean by Software Testing?

Software Testing means checking or testing the particular software application or program
according to the perspective of end user’s requirement.

2. What are the Different Testing Types

As per industrial standard Testing Types of Two Types :-


1. Functional Testing
2. Non Functional Testing

3. Explain what is mean by Functional Testing and its types

Under functional testing we provide specific predefined input and check what output
system is generating.

Functional testing has following sub types viz,


1. Smoke
2. Sanity
3. Unit
4. Integration
5. System
6. UAT(User Acceptance Testing)
7. Retesting
8. Regression Testing

1. Smoke

Under Smoke Testing we do basic health check-up of the software /module/link.

Example:-www.amezon.com,
We just need to check whether the given link/module /software is working or not.
Means by entering above link into browser the should working i.e. it should open.

2. Sanity

Under Sanity testing we go for the in-detailed testing of the application. Covered most of the
Functionality.

3. Unit

In unit testing we are going to check the main module into different parts i.e. Unit. When we
get build into our Environment (QA) we generally performed the Unit Testing first.
4. Integration

Once we get multiple modules for testing we performed integration testing. In which check the
communication between two or more Dependable module. Here we check data transferred
from one module into another.

5. System Testing

End to End testing is called as System Testing. Here whole application is tested.

6. UAT(User Acceptance Testing)

To perform the UAT testing first QA Testing is done. Then this piece of software is pushed
into UAT Environment. In UAT whole system is tested thoroughly before deployment of that
piece of software.

There are two type of UAT,

A. Alpha Testing :-
B. Beta Testing :-

A. Alpha Testing :-

Generally alpha testing is performed in our side/UAT as per client environment. Post
Alpha Testing the software is ready for deployment into client Environment.

B. Beta Testing :-

Beta Testing Done into client side, where whole system is tested as per the client
Environment. Generally Beta and Alpha testing are done by two separate team.
Largely it is done by Team who is functional user of that software. As a QA Team we assist
them as per request from the client.

7. Retesting

Retesting is done after fixing the defect. To validate that present defect is actually fixed or
not.

8. Regression

Regression testing is done to check whether the existing functionality get affected by the
changes happen into the Software. In short what are the impact has happened on dependent
module is checked here.

We performed regression for following conditions like

A. After Defect get Fixed and Retesting is done.


B. Modification, Updating, change request into Existing functionality.
C. After addition of new functionality.
D. Before release.
E. After release.
F. Data Migration.
G. After change in Environment.
4. Explain what is mean by Non Functional Testing and its types

In Non Functional type of Testing we check how system is giving the output. Here
we check the Performance of software under different conditions.

Types of Non Functional Testing

1. Load
2. Stress
3. Endurance
4. Volume
5. Security
6. Installation
7. Accessibility
8. Configuration
9. Globalization
10. Localization
11. Scalability

1. Load

In load Testing we are applying the predefined load as input to the


software/System and checking that whether the system is supporting to that Load.
In short how system is responding to different load we applying to it. Here load means
the Data.

2. Stress

We test the system until it get breaks. When extreme stress is applied to the
system, then need to test the maximum limit of the system to support until is breaks.

3. Endurance

Here we check that, what is the maximum load that system can support for
specific time period. To test this we slowly increase the volume and check the
performance of the system.

4. Volume

In Volume Testing we apply huge data to system until it get hang. Generally
this test is performed to check how system is responding to bulk of user at a time.

Ex:- On result date when many government web site get hang because of huge load is
applied to system.

5. Security

Under security testing we check the how the data is protected from the un
authorized user.
6. Installation

We test here that the particular software is properly installed or not. Need to
test that whether particular software will be working post installation. Look for proper
hardware, software properly installed as per documentation.

7. Accessibility

Under Accessibility testing we check the function that we develop for


physically challenged people.
Ex. Dot on keyboard, Voice assistant,

8. Configuration

It is combination of hardware and software, in which we need to test whether


they are communicating properly or not. In simple word we check how the data is flow
from one module to another.

9. Globalization

Under this Testing we need to test the application from the divers (diversity)
user perspective. Application such as Facebook, YouTube, Google, Gmail etc has to be
checked with consideration of global parameters like Different languages, time zone,
ethnicity, etc.

10. Localization

Here we testing application from very small sections perspective.


Application for particular set of customer demands. Ex. Local language marriage website,
Local weather forecasting web site.

11. Scalability

We need to test for how much people it is accessible at a time. On what scale of
divers ,volume of people will able to use the particular application that we have to test.
