• Software Test Types
• Manual testing manual testing is the process of
  check the software One by one to find the
  defects. The testers execute the test cases and
  generate the reports manually, without automation
  tools.
• Automation testing is the process of testing the
  software with an automation tool, to find the
  defects. Testers execute the test scripts and
  automatically generate the test results with
  automation tools. Some of the famous automation
  test tools for functional testing are QTP/UFT and
  selenium.

Test method 1. Static Test 2. Dynamic
Tests Static Tests it is also known as checking
in Software Tests. Verification is a static
method for verifying documents and files. is the
process to, whether we build the product
correctly, that is, to verify the requirements
that we have to check whether we are developing
the product accordingly or not. Dynamic Tests it
is also called as validation in Software
Tests. Validation is a process for testing the
real product. Validation is the process of
whether we create the right product, ie validate
the product that we have developed is correct or
not. Activities that are involved in testing the
software application

Testing Approaches 1. White Box Test 2.
Black-Box Testing 3. Gray Box Testing White
Box Testing it is also called glass box, Clear
Box, structural Tests. White box Tests use an
internal perspective of the system and
programming skills to design test cases. This
check is usually carried out at unit
level. Black Box Testing it is also called
Behavioral / specification-based / Input-Output
Tests. Black Box Testing is a software test
method in which testers evaluate the
functionality of the tested software without
paying attention to the internal code structure.

Grey Box Testing Grey box is the combination of
White Box and Black Box Testing. The tester
working on this type of test must have access to
design documents. This helps to create more
better test cases. Test Levels 1. Unit
tests 2. Integration tests 3. System
tests 4. Acceptance testing

Unit Testing Unit Tests are performed to verify
that the individual modules of the source code
are working properly. That is, test each unit of
the application separately by the developer in
the developer environment. Integration Testing
Integration Testing is the process of testing
connectivity or data transfer between a pair of
unit tested modules. It is AKA IT-Tests or
String Tests. It is divided in a Top-down
approach, Bottom-Up approach Sandwich approach
(combination of Top-Down and Bottom-Up). System
Testing (end to end test) it is a black box
test. The testing of the fully integrated
application, this will also test as an end-to-end
scenario. To ensure that the software works in
all intended target systems. Check thorough
examination of each input in the application to
check desired outputs. Testing the user's
experience with the application. Acceptance
Testing to receive customer logoff so that
software can be delivered and payments can be
received. Types of acceptance tests are Alpha,
Beta and Gamma Tests.

Types of Black Box Tests 1. Function tests
2. Non-Functional Testing Functional testsin
simple way, what the system actually does is
functional tests. To verify that each function of
the software application behaves as specified in
the request document. Test all functionalities by
entering them to verify whether the actual output
matches the expected output or not. It falls
within the range of black box Tests and the
testers do not have to worry about the source
code of the application.

Non-functional Tests in simple terms, how well
the system performs is non-functional tests. It
refers to various aspects of software such as
performance test, stress test, stress test,
scalability test, security test, compatibility
test etc., emphasis is on improving the user
experience, how quickly the system responds to a
request. For more detailshttps//www.exltech.in/
