Adaptability testing: For a website which can be opened up in any browser.
Adaptability testing: The whole purpose is to check whether application is able to run and can be deployed in different applicable environment, in order to satisfy business needs of the customer. If we are deploying application, we need to check if it is working fine in environment with different hardware configuration such as Memory(RAM) Hard Disk space or different Processors which may be Dual Core, Triple core or Quad Core processors. Also application can be checked on different Operating system to check whether it is supported by that operating system.
Agile testing: Agile requires a depth of continuous collaboration between stakeholders—including managers, developers, testers, and customers—throughout the production process. Agile proposes to be a faster, more priority & risk focused, and more flexible, adaptable, and efficient way of conducting the complicated business of software production.
Alpha testing: Alpha Testing is not open for market or public. Since Alpha Testing is done onsite therefore developers as well as business analyst are involved with the testing team, and it is done before the launch of software product into the market
Analytical testing:Analytical testing, also called as materials testing, is a broad term used to describe various techniques that are used to identify the chemical makeup or characteristics of a particular sample. Manufacturers in industries such as pharmaceuticals, food, electronics and plastics often use analytical testing for reverse engineering or failure analysis, and identifying contaminants or stains on products.
API testing: Since APIs lack a GUI, API testing is performed at the message layer.

2. Agile Testing: Agile testing is based on Agile pronciples and practices. The software tester are frequently expected to reorganize and perform in an agile environment. Exploratory testing and experienced based testing are often used in aile environments.
3. Alpha Testing: A type of User Acceptance Testing. It is done by the client. Eg: When the client checks the software in the IT company environment it is called Alpha Testing.
4. Analytical Testing: This type of testing does a systematic analysis of the risks, requirements, software design, data paths etc.
5. API Testing: Application Programming Interface is a set of tools, programs, objects to interface between different software. The API functionality, reliability and performance is tested in API testing.
Adaptability: software upgrade, component or application migrated from one platform to another. Made to run on different OS.
Alpha testing: New OS in the market, any online site to be launched, then the product is first tested by developers before given to end users or beta testing.
Agile: For applications that are huge and complex and where short releases are made. Agile Methods break the product into small incremental builds. These builds are provided in iterations.
API testing: APIs enable communication and data exchange between two separate software systems. Used in all on line applications, mobile &/or electronic banking, payments systems to name a few uses.

Write the examples of the scenarios/ software for each of above different types of testing.
1.Adaptability testing: A software should have ability to perform properly with different tablets, smart phones, computers in system environment that have hardware configuration like processor type, RAM etc with different browsers, operating system. e.g., Online Ticket Booking Softwares, Banking Softwares. users can use in different devices.
2.Agile testing: a type of testing that is based on agile principles and practices.Big complex projects like Airlines ticketing softwares , Vacations Tours Booking Softwares
3.Analytical testing: This is an analytical testing approach for System testing in detail. Softwares which has lots of data sets and analytical functions like Thermal Gravity metric softwares ,Risk data sets.
4.API testing: Application Programming Interface testing mainly focused on software’s performance, reliability, and functionality with the help of software interface tools, protocols. Ex. Social networking and Emailing softwares.
Adaptability testing:The software is tested for its ability to adapt in the different system environments without any additional efforts for example if one app is working in the phone,it should work in other systems like PC,Tablets and TV etc.,software tester will make sure the kind of software should work in all kind of operating systems.
Agile Testing:it is kind of software approach,it is a frame work. Agile software development is an iterative or incremental design method. the complex projects ,frequently changing requirements in the software,new technology based development,quick release of software…these kind need agile development.
Alpha Testing:Alpha testing is a type of user acceptance testing. The end users test the software in the development site. for example ATM machines which need to be upgraded first tested by the end users in the development environment in few machines,if it is pass,then they implement in all remaining ATMs with same software.
Analytical Testing:The systematic analysis of the risk, requirements, software design, the paths in program, data sets and so on is the test basis for analytical testing approach.
API testing: The API is a set of tools, protocols, objects to interface between the different software.
Adaptability Testing: this type of testing is used to check the ability or we can say compatibility of the software with different hardware, software, platforms without any additional effort. eg: some app works only in Mac operating system while some works in windows.
Agile Testing: this testing technique is used when there is frequent changes in client requirements, it is done with small set of requirements in two to three weeks of time. it is also known as iterative testing.
Alpha testing: It is user acceptance testing. The developed software is tested by the end users/ customers to check the functionality of the software. eg: A banking website wants to add online banking to transfer money, a software is developed by IT team and at the end publish to only small number of users for feedback.
Analytical Testing: This type of testing analyses the requirement, software , tools required and the risk involved in developing the software. eg. Spacecraft project
API testing: This is middle layer testing. API is used to make sure the communication between two different platforms/operating systems. Eg: to make connection between unix and windowsbased applications API comes in picture & to test this connection API testing is used.
This article touched upon these types of software testing – Alpha tresting, Analytical testing, Agile testing, Adaptability testing and API testing.
Examples for the below types of testing
– Adaptability testing: Gotomeeting software adaptable to different environments like Mac, Windows, etc
– Agile testing: As a feature is developed, it gets tested. Testing is done while implementation.
– Alpha testing: ATM machine testing by the users at the development site
– Analytical testing: Suppose you are testing the performance of some application program which searches through a database store of book title information. Analytical testing would specify a certain time value that if results are returned in that time or less, then the test case result is a pass, but if results are returned in longer than the specified time value, then the test result is fail.
– API testing: Java Scanner API, Selenium API
Adaptability Testing: This type of testing is done to know whether the software/application can work on any other browser/OS, devices or not. Google can work on any device /OS/browser etc.
Agile Testing: In Agile testing, testing is not done in phases. Testers and developers work side by side. So that work can progress quickly, and quick release can be possible.
Alpha Testing: This testing is done by the end of the software development when Software is almost ready to use. It is done by QA team and some of potential users in IT environment just before of its release to the client.
Analytical Testing: Suppose developers have developed the new version of the web browser but testers have to do testing which will check this new version’s complexity level, the risk of failure, whether they are user-friendly or not, compatibility with diff OS etc. This whole process is called Analytical Testing.
API Testing: eg: REST-Assured, Postman etc.

API Testing-Application Programming Interface (API) which tests the functionality, reliability and performance of the software.
• Adaptability testing: Testing the ability to adapt to different system environments like h/w processor, RAM etc., s/w OS, browsers etc.
EX: some websites opened in mobile do not support all the operations available as in the desktop version. So, the adaptability testing is very important to be carried out.
• Agile testing: this testing is used when we do not have all the requirements or stories initially as the client himself is not clear. New or change in requirements are given as and when available, and within limited time a week or so the sprints should be released.
Or
This testing is good for frequent changes in stories/ req’s and quick releases are necessary for new technology.
EX: the project is broken into several iterations. Rather than spending the whole initial months in gathering req’s and analyzing we will decide the basic core features that can be developed in the first iteration. remaining features that cannot be delivered in the first iteration will be taken up in the next iteration or subsequent based on priority. In each iteration the working s/w that were finalized for that iteration will be delivered. – tryqa.com
• Alpha testing: This is an UAT where the end users tests the software or application in testing environment.
EX: when Microsoft launches their new s/w the high-level developers tests the s/w using alpha testing. – t4tutorials.com
• Analytical testing: The systematic analysis of the risk, requirements, software design, the paths in program, data sets and so on is the test basis for analytical testing approach.
• API testing: The API (application programming interface) is a set of tools, protocols, objects to interface between the different software. This is a testing to determine if they meet expectations for functionality, reliability, performance, and security.
EX: Google Express, you can order anything from best buy, Walmart, target, Costco etc. from this site without logging into that account.
Trivago where expedia, goibibo, hotels.com etc can be accessed without logging into those accounts in a single platform.

Write the examples of the scenarios/ software for each of above different types of testing.
Adaptability:
example would be, Testing if the software works as expected on both iOS operating system used by iPhone
and android operating system used by android phones.
Agile:
exploratory testing is a type of agile testing,
if you open a web application like amazon, you have added a product to cart.The tester should observe all the details of what happens with series of actions performed on the website, is it working as expected.
Alpha testing:
For example online banking website: load the website in a test environment, login with real account details.Try transferring funds between accounts. Make sure everything is working as expected.
Analytical testing:
Example would be, making sure the test cases are in line with the BRD
API testing:
We don’t use a GUI to test. Testing is done in the API or the business logic layer.
example: when u click a option on amazon website,
the information travels to the API layer,
where the relevant function is triggered and
the information is then sent to database layer, from where the right information
is sent back via API layer back to the amazon website, which displays the right page.
Testing is done in API layer by writing testcases, test scripts to call the functions
and make sure they are working as expected.
Adaptability: Check the adaptability of s/w when it is upgraded or a component or application migrated from one platform to another. Made to run on different OS.
Alpha testing:This is a type of uat.The product is first tested by IT people before given to end users .eg; any web applications
Agile: Applications that are huge and complex and need a quick releases follow this are method. in tthis the system is break down into small sprints. each sprint is tested and release to use.
API testing:To integrate two separate s/w we need API. APIs enable communication and data exchange between two separate software systems. eg.in online shopping ,the shopping site and bank are linked by API.It is used in all on line applications, mobile &/or electronic banking, payments systems to name a few uses.
Analytical testing:
The systematic analysis of the risk, requirements, software design, the paths in program, data sets and so on
is the test basis for analytical testing approach.
Adaptability Testing -A game running on Windows XP is said to be portable if the same game can be run on Windows 7 without any change in the behavior of the application
Alpha Testing – When a new OS is to be released in the market , the alpha testing is done by the developers before releasing
Agile Testing – project is developed in iterations and the software is tested during the iteration and at the end of each iteration a workable software is produced. eg. Amazon track package
Analytical Testing -procedures and process are tested to ensure consistent result -laboratory analysis
API Testing – the waiter’s role is similar to an API. As a waiter, the API takes a request from a source, takes that request to the database, fetches the requested data from the database and returns a response to the source.
Examples of Adaptability Testing:
Bank of America application working on google android, laptops, windows IOS, iPads etc
Examples of agile testing:

Alpha testing is the beginning stage of a software, it is mostly tested by users; it is done at the development site and is considered a type of acceptance testing.
Analytical testing tests the requirements, design, risks of a software.
API testing is used to test the reliability and performance of a software.
1) Adaptability testing – It is a functional test to verify that the software can perform all of its intended behaviors in each of the target environments. It may include testing in hardware and software dependency, etc. It is impossible to anticipate the requirements of all users and the configuration of their devices.. For example, testing software that can run on both Windows 7 and Mac operating systems. Testing mobile applications that can run on Apple iOS and Android devices.
2) Agile Testing – Agile testing follows the principles of agile software development. It is incremental and iterative, starts early in the development life cycle and involves all members of IT project team on a daily basis. For example, our smartphones constantly download updates to apps in the background and this is possible because of an Agile team that fixes and updates bugs or defects in the apps on a daily basis.
3) Alpha Testing – It is a type of acceptance testing where the software is tested by users in a lab environment before being released to the actual end users. For example, if an Airline is going to launch a new promotional offer on its website, it would be prudent to test the software – its navigation, usability, verbiage, etc for that offer on the site by company employees before making the offer public.
4) Analytical testing – An analytical testing approach would use analytical methods and techniques to examine raw data and provide insights on risk, requirements, software design etc. For example, the testing team will analyze project documents and requirements to finalise on a testing plan.
5) API testing – API is short for Application Programming Interface. The API is a set of tools, protocols, objects to interface between the different software. It is tested to ensure the system interaction with other software.

Adaptability – cross browser testing
Agile – Feature driven development where a small set of features are developed and tested during a Sprint Cycle.
Alpha – End user testing of a banking module,
Analytical – is type of testing where you analyze the potential problems or defects
API – This is when two different softwares talk to each other to get results. This type of testing concentrates on the logic of the expected result.
Alfa Testing – this type of testing comes under the UAT testing. and this type of testing preforms under the IT environment
Analytical Testing – in this testing we have to analysis the risk ,requirement ,model . as per the project compacity.
API testing – in this testing we have to test the API with the different tools like postman , soup etc. and check the response of the API.
Adaptability testing: The software’s ability to adapt to any environment without any additional effort.
Agile testing: the agile testing is performed in the agile software development approaches. This is based on its principles and practices.
Experience based test approaches are often used in the agile testing.
Analytical testing: Systematic analysis of the risk , requirements , and design of the system.
API testing: Application Programming Interface (API) which tests the functionality, reliability and performance of the software.
Adaptability Testing: In this type of testing, the software adaptability is tested in different system environments. For Example, a software should adapt/work in different browsers, different browser versions, Operating Systems, Screens & devices. Software testing in the above scenarios is done in adaptability testing.
Agile Testing: Agile testing is based on Agile software development model. In Agile testing, the goal is to find the defects and fix them immediately rather than waiting till the end of the development. Example: A gaming software development. As the software is developed and tested in one iteration, defects are found and fixed. Then the next iteration of development starts and testing is done and so on.
Alpha Testing: Alpha testing comes under User Acceptance testing where the software is tested by the users in the IT Environment. Example: Chase Bank ATM software is tested on few real ATMs installed (for testing purposes) in the software company that developed the software.
Analytical Testing: Analytical testing is based on the organized/methodical/systematic analysis of software requirements, design, data sets, risks etc. Example: Analytical testing is used in food manufacturing, materials testing, Census. Data collected by Census is analyzed systematically to distribute federal funds to local communities. This data is tested using various analytical testing tools.
API testing: In (Application Programming Interface) API testing, the functionality, reliability and performance of API is tested. Example: expedia website is used to check travel fares. With input data, the site checks with different airlines and gives the results to user. Here, expedia.com website is communicating with these airlines through APIs by giving details and user data to get the results. API testing tests the performance, stable behavior, & functionality of this communication between expedia.com website and the airlines.
Assignment No: 8
1. Write the examples of the scenarios/ software for each of above different types of testing.
a) Alpha Testing: – It is a kind of user acceptance testing and the end users perform this type of testing in real environment. For Example: Banking projects, Railway Ticket booking.
b) Agile Testing : – It is a kind of software model followed to develop and release the software. This kind of methodology can be used in any kind of projects where the requirements is not complete. For Example: – Health care domain.
c) Analytical Testing: – It is kind of approach to analyze the risk, requirements, paths in the program. For Example: It can be used as an initial stage of testing to analyze the risk and resources needed.
d) API Testing: – It is kind of testing to test the interface between the software. For Example: Interface between shopping site and banking accounts.
1.Adapability testing-The software is tested for its ability to adapt in different system environment without any additional efforts.
2.Agile testing-Agile testing is a software testing process that follows principles of agile software development .The software testers are frequently expected to reorganize to perform the testing in agile environment.
3.Alpha testing-It is a kind of user acceptance testing .It is often performed by potential users/customers or an independent test team at the developers site
4.Analytical testing: The systematic analysis of the risk requirements, software design, the paths in program data sets and so on is the test basis of analytical testing approach.
5.API testing-It is a type of software testing that involves testing application programming interfaces directly and as a part of integration testing to determine if they meet expectation for functionality, reliability, performance and security.
1. Adaptability : Take an example of Online banking. User can use different browsers like IE, Firefox or chrome to open the website. It can run on different OS like Mac or windows. Can be opened with different devices and different devices like computer, tablet and smart phones.
2. Agile Testing : If a client wants to develop a software using new technology, It is done through iterative method called agile scrum and this testing is needed. The s/w is developed, tested and delivered in small modules called sprints. As the technology is new for client as well as development team, frequent changes in the requirements are expected.
3. testing: Most of the software goes through this testing. A team of real time users come to the IT company and test the software in the development environment.
4. Analytical testing: This type of testing is done to do the systematic analysis of the requirements, risks, designs of the software. It is done when the risk involves are quite big. Example: spacecraft software.
5. API: Application Programming Interface testing is done to see how to different software communicate with each other. Example: In the telecommunication website, if you want to pay the bill, one of the options is using your bank account. So, in this case, you switch from telecom company to the bank website. To check if this transfer works properly, API testing is done.

Adaptability testing tests software for its ability to adapt in different system environments without any additional efforts. Testers test if software can be used in different devices such as tablets, computers, and smartphones. Agile testing is done using agile software development approaches. This is done when clients change requirements a lot and IT team releases the software by modules and checks if client is satisfied. Alpha testing is done in the IT environment. Some examples might be ATM machines, or online banking. Analytical testing looks at the risk, requirement, design, data sets, paths in program, etc. This can be done in an application like PayPal. API stands for application programming interface and API testing tests functionality, performance, reliability, and functionality. It is used in any websites, such as email application.
Write the examples of the scenarios/ software for each of above different types of testing.
Adaptability testing: Adaptability testing is the process of validating if the system is adaptable to each of the target environments. Using common communication standards between multiple systems can help in improving the adaptability of the system.
Agile testing: Example: Adobe is working on project to come up with a competing product for Microsoft Word, that provides all the features provided by Microsoft Word and any other features requested by the marketing team. The final product needs to be ready in 10 months of time
Alpha testing: Suppose a software company has made a website for MakeMyTrip and MakeMyTrip wants the website should handle more than 2000 users simultaneously and should not crash. Then before deploying this website, that software company will test it on its own by giving more than 2000 users simultaneous to check whether it will crash or not. Now, this testing is alpha testing.
Analytical testing: Analytical Testing the parts of the Doping Control process performed at the Laboratory, which include Sample handling, analysis and reporting of results.
API testing: The Google Maps API and Twitter API may be among the most widely used API examples, but most software-as-a-service (SaaS) providers offer APIs that let developers write code that posts data to and retrieves data from the provider’s site as well.
