The exponential and unprecedented upgradation in technology affects the way of working of software & application development companies in terms of developing software, validate, deliver, and operate the software. Hence, these organizations must consistently innovate and revamp themselves through finding the solution to optimize practices and tools to develop and deliver high-quality software quickly. Application or Software Testing is an activity which is performed frequently by almost every software testing or quality assurance engineers in organizations. Quality assurance and Quality control words are extremely broad in practical aspects. However, only the core and most important areas will be discussed here. The purpose of posting this article is to cover all the latest areas of testing part so that you will get all the basic information at a single place. Among the numerous professional different types of software testing procedures used by Quality Assurance software testing companies.
Different types of software testing methodologies
Basically, there are two types of software testing methods: functional and non functional testing; team of software testing at Rhombus Infotech mainly focuses on the some major software testing types while delivering error free quality assurance services to our clients. Let’s start with that:
Functional Testing Methodologies
Dominant Testing:
This type of testing is the most common type of quality assurance testing which is used by all software testing companies. The objective of this testing is to identify all possible errors or defects before releasing it into the market or handing over to the client.
User Acceptance Testing:
User acceptance testing is performed by the client to check entire process of application or software, whether the end to end the flow system is as per their business requirements or not and if it best suites to the needs of the end-user, then accepts the software delivery with features and functionalities as expected. This activity is also called as User Acceptance Testing process (UAT).
Accessibility Testing:
The main objective of the accessibility testing Service is to determine whether the software or application is accessible for disabled people or not. Disability means deaf, color blindness, mentally disabled, old age factors, and other disabled group people. Various checks are performed such as font size for the visually disabled, color and contrast for color blindness, etc.
Back End Testing:
Whenever an input or data is entered on front-end application, it stores in the database, and the testing Service of such a database is known as the Database Testing Service or Backend testing Service. There are different databases like SQL Server, MySQL, and Oracle, etc. Database testing Service involves testing table structure, schema, stored procedure, data structure, and so on.
Browser Compatibility Testing:
Browser Compatibility Testing is performed for web applications which ensures that the software can run with the combination of different browsers and operating systems. This type of testing Service also validates whether web application runs on all versions of all browsers or not.
Boundary or Edge Value Testing:
This type of testing Service checks the behavior of the application at the boundary level. Boundary value Testing Service is performed for checking if defects exist at boundary values. Boundary value testing Service is used for testing a different range of numbers. There is an upper and lower boundary for each range and testing is performed on these boundary values.
Compatibility Testing:
Compatibility Testing validates the performance of software in different environment, web servers, different hardware & network systems, which ensures the software can perform good on different system configurations, with different databeses, on multiple browsers & their versions. This part of testing is also performed by the testing team engineers.
Component Testing:
Component Testing is mostly performed on developers end after the completion of the unit testing service. Component Testing service involves testing multiple functionalities as a single code and the main objective is to find out if any errors or bugs exists after connecting those multiple functionalities with each other.
Non-Functional Testing Methodologies
Non-functional testing service involves the testing of non-functional requirements such as Load Testing, Stress Testing, Security Issues, Volume, Recovery Testing, etc. The core objective of non functional testing is to ensure whether the response time of software or application is fast enough as per the business requirement.
Performance Testing:
A performance testing is performed to check whether the system meets the performance requirements. Different performance and load tools are used to do this testing.
Safety / Security Testing:
This type of testing service performed by a special team of software testers. A system can be penetrated by any hacking way. Security Testing service is done to check how the software or application or website is secure from internal and external threats. This testing service includes how much software is secure from the malicious program, viruses, and how secure and strong the authorization and authentication processes are.
System Testing:
This is another type of manual testing. Under the System Testing technique, the entire system is tested as per the requirements. It is a Black-box type testing service that is based on overall requirement specifications and covers all the combined parts of a system.
Stability Testing:
It is a type of testing service performed by a special team of software testers. A system can be penetrated by any hacking way. Security Testing service is done to check how the software or application or website is secure from internal and external threats. This testing service includes how much software is secure from the malicious program, viruses, and how secure and strong the authorization and authentication processes are.
The above mentioned all software testing techniques are the part of software application testing services which is most often used by any software testing expert. Also, there are alternative definitions or processes used in different organizations or in software quality assurance companies but the basic concept is the same everywhere. These testing services, processes, and implementation methods keep changing as and when the project, requirements, and scope change.
