Software Testing Terminologies-© Explore Testing

Term Definition

Acceptance Testing Testing the system with the intent of confirming readiness of the productand customer acceptance.

Ad Hoc Testing Testing without a formal test plan or outside of a test plan. With some projects this type of testing is carried out as an adjunct to formal testing. If carried out by a skilled tester, it can often find problems that are not caughtin regular testing. Sometimes, if testing occurs very late in thedevelopment cycle, this will be the only kind of testing that can be performed. Sometimes ad hoc testing is referred to as exploratory testing.

Alpha Testing Testing after code is mostly complete or contains most of the functionalityand prior to users being involved. Sometimes a select group of users areinvolved. More often this testing will be performed in-house or by anoutside testing firm in close cooperation with the softwareengineering department.

Automated Testing Software testing that utilizes a variety of tools to automate the testing process and when the importance of having a person manually testing is

diminished. Automated testing still requires a skilled qualityassurance professional with knowledge of the automation tool and thesoftware being tested to set up the tests.

Beta Testing Testing after the product is code complete. Betas are often widely

distributed or even distributed to the public at large in hopes that they will buy the final product when it is released.

Black Box Testing Testing software without any knowledge of the inner workings, structureor language of the module being tested. Black box tests, as most other kinds of tests, must be written from a definitive source document, such as aspecification or requirements document..

CompatibilityTesting

Testing used to determine whether other system software components suchas browsers, utilities, and competing software will conflict with thesoftware being tested.

ConfigurationTesting

Testing to determine how well the product works with a broad range of hardware/peripheral equipment configurations as well as on differentoperating systems and software.

Functional Testing Testing two or more modules together with the intent of finding defects,demonstrating that defects are not present, verifying that the module performs its intended functions as stated in the specification andestablishing confidence that a program does what it is supposed to do.

IndependentVerification and

Validation (IV&V)

The process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that thesoftware system meets its requirements and user expectations and doesn’t

fail in an unacceptable manner. The individual or group doing this work isnot part of the group or organization that developed the software. A termoften applied to government work or where the government regulates the products, as inmedical devices.

Installation Testing Testing with the intent of determining if the product will install on avariety of platforms and how easily it installs.

Integration Testing Testing two or more modules or functions together with the intent of finding interface defects between the modules or functions. Testingcompleted at as a part of unit or functional testing, and sometimes,

becomes its own standalone test phase. On a larger level, integrationtesting can involve a putting together of groups of modules and functionswith the goal of completing and verifying that the system meets the systemrequirements. (see system testing)

Load Testing Testing with the intent of determining how well the product handlescompetition for system resources. The competition may come in the formof network traffic, CPU utilization or memory allocation.



PerformanceTesting

Testing with the intent of determining how quickly a product handles avariety of events. Automated test tools geared specifically to test and fine-tune performance are used most often for this type of testing.

Pilot Testing Testing that involves the users just before actual release to ensure thatusers become familiar with the release contents and ultimately accept it.Often is considered a Move-to-Production activity for ERP releases or a beta test for commercial products. Typically involves many users, isconducted over a short period of time and is tightly controlled. (see betatesting)

Regression Testing Testing with the intent of determining if bug fixes have been successfuland have not created any new problems. Also, this type of testing is doneto ensure that no degradation of baseline functionality has occurred.

Security Testing Testing of database and network software in order to keep company data

and resources secure from mistaken/accidental users, hackers, and other malevolent attackers.

Software Testing The process of exercising software with the intent of ensuring that thesoftware system meets its requirements and user expectations and doesn’tfail in an unacceptable manner. The organization and management of individuals or groups doing this work is not relevant. This term is oftenapplied to commercial products such as internet applications. (contrastwith independent verification and validation)

Stress Testing Testing with the intent of determining how well a product performs when a

load is placed on the system resources that nears and then exceedscapacity.

System IntegrationTesting

Testing a specific hardware/software installation. This is typically performed on a COTS (commerical off the shelf) system or any other system comprised of disparent parts where custom configurations and/or unique installations are the norm.

User AcceptanceTesting

See Acceptance Testing.

White Box Testing Testing in which the software tester has knowledge of the inner workings,structure and language of the software, or at least its purpose.•

WEB TESTING- Check List- Explore TestingOngoing demand in quality assurance is for web testing as because whole techno world is webifying

at very fast pace. Clients requirements in context to web application is searching for full fledged

defect free usable application. Web applications and cloud applications are most popular now a days

and testing these applications is a real challenge whereby tester need to concentrate on various

Term Definition

Acceptance Testing Testing the system with the intent of confirming

readiness of the product and customer acceptance.

Ad Hoc Testing Testing without a formal test plan or outside of a test

plan. With some projects this type of testing is carried out as an adjunct to formal

testing. If carried out by a skilled tester, it can often find problems that are not

caught in regular testing. Sometimes, if testing occurs very late in the development



cycle, this will be the only kind of testing that can be performed. Sometimes ad hoc

testing is referred to as exploratory testing.

Alpha Testing Testing after code is mostly complete or contains most of

the functionality and prior to users being involved. Sometimes a select group of

users are involved. More often this testing will be performed in-house or by anoutside testing firm in close cooperation with the software engineering department.

Automated Testing Software testing that utilizes a variety of tools to

automate the testing process and when the importance of having a person

manually testing is diminished. Automated testing still requires a skilled quality

assurance professional with knowledge of the automation tool and the software

being tested to set up the tests.

Beta Testing Testing after the product is code complete. Betas are often

widely distributed or even distributed to the public at large in hopes that they will

buy the final product when it is released.

Black Box Testing Testing software without any knowledge of the inner

workings, structure or language of the module being tested. Black box tests, as

most other kinds of tests, must be written from a definitive source document, such

as a specification or requirements document..

Compatibility Testing Testing used to determine whether other system

software components such as browsers, utilities, and competing software will

conflict with the software being tested.

Configuration Testing Testing to determine how well the product works

with a broad range of hardware/peripheral equipment configurations as well as ondifferent operating systems and software.

Functional Testing Testing two or more modules together with the intent of

finding defects, demonstrating that defects are not present, verifying that the

module performs its intended functions as stated in the specification and

establishing confidence that a program does what it is supposed to do.

Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) The process of exercising

software with the intent of ensuring that the software system meets its

requirements and user expectations and doesn’t fail in an unacceptable manner.

The individual or group doing this work is not part of the group or organization thatdeveloped the software. A term often applied to government work or where the

government regulates the products, as in medical devices.

Installation Testing Testing with the intent of determining if the product will

install on a variety of platforms and how easily it installs.



Integration Testing Testing two or more modules or functions together with

the intent of finding interface defects between the modules or functions. Testing

completed at as a part of unit or functional testing, and sometimes, becomes its

own standalone test phase. On a larger level, integration testing can involve a

putting together of groups of modules and functions with the goal of completing and

verifying that the system meets the system requirements. (see system testing)

Load Testing Testing with the intent of determining how well the product

handles competition for system resources. The competition may come in the form

of network traffic, CPU utilization or memory allocation.

Performance Testing Testing with the intent of determining how quickly

a product handles a variety of events. Automated test tools geared specifically to

test and fine-tune performance are used most often for this type of testing.

Pilot Testing Testing that involves the users just before actual release to

ensure that users become familiar with the release contents and ultimately acceptit. Often is considered a Move-to-Production activity for ERP releases or a beta test

for commercial products. Typically involves many users, is conducted over a short

period of time and is tightly controlled. (see beta testing)

Regression Testing Testing with the intent of determining if bug fixes have

been successful and have not created any new problems. Also, this type of testing

is done to ensure that no degradation of baseline functionality has occurred.

Security Testing Testing of database and network software in order to

keep company data and resources secure from mistaken/accidental users, hackers,

and other malevolent attackers.

Software Testing The process of exercising software with the intent of

ensuring that the software system meets its requirements and user expectations

and doesn’t fail in an unacceptable manner. The organization and management of

individuals or groups doing this work is not relevant. This term is often applied to

commercial products such as internet applications. (contrast with independent

verification and validation)

Stress Testing Testing with the intent of determining how well a product

performs when a load is placed on the system resources that nears and then

exceeds capacity.

System Integration Testing Testing a specific hardware/software

installation. This is typically performed on a COTS (commerical off the shelf) system

or any other system comprised of disparent parts where custom configurations

and/or unique installations are the norm.

User Acceptance Testing See Acceptance Testing.



White Box Testing Testing in which the software tester has knowledge of the

inner workings, structure and language of the software, or at least its purpose.

WEB TESTING- Check List- Explore Testing

Ongoing demand in quality assurance is for web testing as because whole techno

world is webifying at very fast pace. Clients requirements in context to web

application is searching for full fledged defect free usable application. Web

applications and cloud applications are most popular now a days and testing theseapplications is a real challenge whereby tester need to concentrate on various

aspect and attribute of web application and its structure which must comply with

XHTML and W3C rules.

Here in I am discussing about various checklist which relates to web testing and

thus surely helps testers understanding the requirements well and leads to

satisfactory testing.
