Functional testing

Quality assurance (QA) functional testing is basically used to check if the tested software corresponds to all requirements. Simply put, it is a type of software test, according to which the system is tested against any functional specification. In fact, it is used to check whether the system’s functions work correctly. This process consists of identification of the functions that the system is supposed to execute, using input data in order to define the output and comparing actual results with the expected ones. Here black-box testing technique is applied, and thus, it is not crucial for the tester to understand precisely the system’s internal logic, as functional testing simply examines what the system does, not how it does it, thus the focus lies strictly on inputs and outputs. Functional testing may also be categorized into different types including regression, usability, sanity and smoke testing. Read the full article

Isolation testing is all about breaking the software into small modules and then testing each of them in isolation gives better and more fruitful results.

In STLC, testing each component of the software as an individual entity is known as Isolation Testing. There are various benefits associated with this testing technique as it gives better and more fruitful results.

White box testing, which is also known as glass box testing, tests the internal structure of an application product through the derivation of test data from the program logic. This software testing technique is also known as open box testing, structural testing, logic driven testing and clear box testing.

White box testing is an important software testing method in which the internal structure and code of the product are evaluated, to ensure that no hidden errors impact its effectiveness and functioning. It involves three major techniques: Statement Coverage Branch coverage Path coverage See full article.

Agile testing quadrants may be seen as an established procedure or guidelines or steps to carry out the end-to-end agile testing of a software application in four different phases, imparting different testing techniques for different levels and purposes.

Agile testing quadrants are considered a tool that divides the whole agile testing methodology into four quadrants for arranging the testing types. Find out more about the functionality of these quadrants in this article.

Globalization testing, which is also known as G11N, is implemented during software testing life cycle (STLC) to ensure the global appeal of the software as well as to validate software system’s suitability and acceptability across different territories, countries, location, cultures, and more.

Globalization testing assists software testers in verifying numerous features and functionality of the software. It helps them to deliver a software product that fulfills the requirements of various global users and clients.

Experience based testing involves different testing approaches carried out using past & gained experience to test the software product.

Experience is that precious tool of the tester, which is always required in performing all types of testing. To provide reliable and effective results one must utilize gained experience in creating strategy and planning documentation.

It helps us to identify test cases of the whole system on a transaction basis from beginning to end.

Use case testing is a functional testing technique which helps in identifying test scenario on the whole system. This article will introduce you to Use Case Testing and its advantages.
