Types of software tests different testing types
with Details

• What are the different types of software testing?
• As a Tester, we know the different types of
  software tests such as functional tests,
  non-functional tests, automation tests, Agile
  Tests and their subtypes, etc.
• Each of us would have encountered different types
  of Tests on our test journey. We may have heard
  some, and we might have worked on some, but not
  everyone has knowledge of all test types.
• Different types of software testing
• Functional test types include
• Unit test
• Integration testing
• System testing
• Mental health testing
• Smoking test
• Interface test
• Regression
• Beta / Acceptance

• Safety tests
• Compatibility testing
• Install Tests
• Recovery Tests
• Reliability testing
• Usability Tests
• Conformity assessment
• Localization Tests

• Alpha Test
• It is the most common type of Tests used in the
  software industry. The objective of this test is
  to identify all possible problems or defects
  before it is released to the market or to the
  user.
• Ad-hoc Tests
• The name itself suggests that this test is
  carried out on an ad hoc basis,
• i.e. without reference to the test case, and also
  without a plan or documentation for such kind of
  Tests. The purpose of this check is to find the
  defects and to break the application by running
  an application flow or random functionality.
• Beta Test
• Beta testing is a formal type of software testing
  performed by the customer. It is carried out in
  the real environment before the product is put
  on the market for the actual final consumer.
• component testing
• It is usually performed by developers after
  completion of unit Tests. Component testing
  involves testing multiple functionalities as a
  single code, and your goal is to determine
  whether there is a defect after connecting these
  multiple functionalities together.

• Functional Testing
• This type of testing ignores the internal parts
  and focuses only on the output to check whether
  it is according to the requirement or not. It is
  a Black-box type testing geared to functional
  requirements of an application.
• integration testing
• Testing all integrated modules to verify the
  combined functionality after integration is
  called Integration Test. Modules are typically
  code modules, individual applications, client
  and server applications in a network, etc. This
  type of testing is especially relevant to client
  / server and distributed systems.
• Non-Functional Testing
• It is a type of Tests for which each organization
  has a separate team, usually called a
  Non-Functional Test (NFT) team or Performance
  team.
• Regression Tests
• Testing an application as a whole for
  modification in a module or functionality is
  called regression testing. It is difficult to
  cover the entire system in regression tests, so
  automation testing tools are typically used for
  these types of Tests.
• security testing
• It is a kind of Tests that are carried out by a
  special Team of testers. A system can be
  penetrated by any hacking way.

• Smoke testing
• When a new build is provided by the development
  team, the Software Test team validates the build
  and ensures that there is no major Problem.
• The Test team ensures that the build is stable
  and that a detailed test level is continued.
  Smoking test checks that there is no show-stopper
  defect in the build that prevents the Test team
  from testing the application in detail.
• unit testing
• Testing a single software component or module is
  called unit testing. It is usually performed by
  the programmer and not by testers, as it requires
  a detailed knowledge of the internal program
  design and code. It may also require developing
  test driver modules or test harnesses.
• White Box Testing
• White Box testing is based on knowledge of the
  internal logic of an application's code.
• It is also known as glass box Test. Internal
  software and code work should be known for this
  type of testing. These tests are based on
  coverage of code statements, branches,
  paths,conditions, etc.
• Black Box Testing
• The internal system design is not considered in
  this type of test. Tests are based on
  requirements and functions.
