What are different types of software
testing? Software Testing can be roughly divided
into two types 1. Manual Testing Manual testing
includes manual testing of a software, i.e.,
without automated tool or script. In this type,
the tester assumes the role of an end user and
tests the software to identify unexpected
behavior or errors. There are different levels
for manual Tests such as unit Tests, integration
tests, system tests and User Acceptance
Tests. Testers use test plans, test cases, or
test scenarios to test software to ensure that
the Tests are complete. Manual testing also
includes exploratory testing as testers explore
the software to identify errors in it.

2. Automation testing automation testing, also
known as test automation, is when the tester
writes scripts and uses another software to test
the product. This process involves the automation
of a manual process. Automation tests are used to
rerun the test scenarios that were performed
manually, quickly, and repeatedly. In addition to
regression tests, automation tests is used to
test the application from load, performance and
stress point of view. It increases test coverage,
improves accuracy, and saves time and money
compared to manual Tests.

What are different techniques of software
testing? Software techniques can be divided into
two main categories 1. Black Box Testing the
technique of testing where the tester does not
have access to the source code of the software
and is performed at the software interface
without affecting the internal logical structure
of the software is called black box testing. 2.
White-Box Testing the technique of testing in
which the tester of the internal workings of the
product, have access to its source code, and will
ensure that all internal operations are performed
according to the specifications known as white
box testing.

What are different levels of software
testing? Software level testing can be majorly
classified into 4 levels 1. Unit Testing a
level of the software testing process where
individual units/components of a software/system
are tested. The purpose is to check whether each
unit of the software performs as designed. 2.
What do you mean? Integration Test level of the
software test process in which individual units
are combined and tested as a group. The purpose
of this Test level is to detect errors in the
interaction between integrated units.

3. System test a level of the software testing
process where a complete, integrated
system/software is tested. The purpose of this
audit is to assess the conformity of the system
with the specified requirements. 4. Acceptance
test a level of the software testing process in
which a system is tested for acceptance. The
purpose of this test is to assess the system's
compliance with business requirements and to
assess whether it is acceptable for delivery.
