Test del software
Il test del software è un processo di valutazione di un software per scoprire le differenze tra i risultati effettivi e quelli previsti.
L'obiettivo primario del test del software nelle migliori aziende di test del software è quello di misurare la salute complessiva dell'applicazione in termini di requisiti dati. Il test del software comporta la verifica del software attraverso varie tecniche di test. Gli obiettivi principali di queste tecniche includono i seguenti:
- Verificare se l'applicazione soddisfa tutti i requisiti software menzionati dal cliente
- Identificare i difetti nell'applicazione e garantire che sia priva di errori
- Effettuare test di UI, Usabilità, Performance, Sicurezza, Localizzazione, Compatibilità
Ci sono principalmente due basi di test del software:
- Blackbox Testing
- Whitebox Testing
Black box Testing
Black box testing is a testing technique that does not looks into the internal mechanism of the application and mainly focuses on the output. It is also known as functional testing.
- In Black Box Testing, internal architecture or implementation of the functionality is NOT known to the test engineer
- Knowledge of the programming language is not required
- This type of testing mainly applies to higher levels of testing for example, System testing and Acceptance testing
- This type of testing is mainly done by the test engineers
White box Testing
White box testing is a testing technique that looks into the internal mechanism of the application. It is also called structural testing or glass box testing.
1. In White Box Testing, internal architecture or implementation of the functionality should be known to the tester
2. This type of testing is mainly done by the developers.
3. This type of testing mainly applies to lower levels of testing for example, Unit testing.
4. Knowledge of the programming language is required.
Types of testing
Below are the types of testing available:
- Unit Testing
- Integration Testing
- Functional Testing
- System Testing
- Stress Testing
- Performance Testing
- Usability Testing
- Acceptance Testing
- Regression Testing
- Re-Testing
- Smoke Testing
