The software testing can also be classified as two types of testing one is positive testing and negative testing. Positive testing is the application functions as expected valid data sets. If an error occurs during positive testing the test fails. In the Negative Testing, the application handles the unexpected behaviour or invalid input. For example if a user tries to type a wrong data in the field it would display a correct message for incorrect data. The quality of the application improves due to the negative testing.
Negative testing is detecting the possible software crashes in different situations, such as
- Populating required fields
- Correspondence between data and field types
- Allowed number of characters
- Allowed data bounds and limits
- Reasonable data
For example the functioning of a lift in real life. When the people enter and press the floor button automatically the lift is made to move to the required floor. If the number of people exceed in the lift, if a power failure happens during the lift functions – all these cases are included in negative testing. Negative testing is important in the organisation’s perspective because it is the responsibility of every organisation to build a good quality product to the customer. To achieve this we conduct the negative testing
Negative testing characteristics are:
- It is carried to point out the faults which can lead to major failures
- It is performed to find the software weakness and its potential for exploitation
- It is conducted to identify how the security breaches can occur.
Negative testing techniques are
- Skipping the data and proceeding
- Verifying each field type
- Verifying numeric data size and boundary tests.
The equivalence partition between negative testing and positive testing is
The different types of negative testing situations are:
- Filling the values in required fields: The applications behaviour is checked when the test leaves the required fields empty and analyse the response of the application.
- Data and field types correspondences: The forms that contain controls can be tested by entering the invalid values to know the proper function of the application.
- The number of characters which are allowed: Some fields allow limited characters to be entered. For example: the user name or password field has a specific number of characters
- Allowing data bounds and limits: Applications can accept the input value in a certain range of data. For example of negative test: Enter the data in an application that exceeds the data type limit.
- Reasonable data values: some applications have reasonable data limit. For example: Enter data limit in the age field in any application.
- Web – based testing: some websites have condition to log in or use captcha before opening the first webpage to check whether the application behaves properly.
In positive testing it always proves that the product always meets the requirement specifications.In negative testing the main intention is to test whether the software is not showing the error when it is supposed to show or showing error when it shouldn’t show. Negative testing is a procedure to identify the inputs where system is not designed. The reason behind the negative testing is to check the stability of any software under the influences of various types of incorrect data set.

What is negative testing?
Negative testing is a type of testing where intentionally invalid data is used as an input to check whether the application gives the expected results or error messages.
Mention the difference between the negative testing and Positive testing.
Positive testing is a type of testing where testing is done by providing valid data as input and checks whether the application gives the expected results or behaves as expected. It will never give any error.
The main difference between these two kinds of testing is positive testing uses valid data set and negative testing uses invalid data set. If an error occurs during positive testing the test fails. The data has a limit and is less time consuming. Negative testing can have many options and can be time consuming.
Positive testing proves that it meets the requirement specifications.
Negative testing helps to find out the gaps of the application and also find out what kind of data is not giving the expected result, message or not behaving in the expected way.
In both cases Test designer has to pay attention to the RTM by doing Boundary Value Analysis and by Equivalence Partitioning.
Boundary Value Analysis, is a testing technique ( with numerical values), where data is out of the boundary or range or limit of the required field. This kind of data is invalid for that field and the testing is called Negative testing. When the data falls under the range or limit, that is called valid data and the testing is called positive testing.
Equivalence Partitioning, is a software testing technique which divides the input data into many partitions. Values from each partition must be tested at least once. Partitions with valid values are used for Positive Testing. While, partitions with invalid values are used for negative testing.
There are two types of testing one is negative tetsing and the other is positive tetsing .
Positive testing is the application functions as expected valid data sets.While Negative testing the application handles t
he unexpected behaviour or invalid input.

Negative testing is performed to check the function of the application with invalid input or when unexpected behavior occurs.
In general it means to test whether the software is not showing the error when it is supposed to show or showing error when it
shouldn’t show
For example: Entering more characters in input text fields when it accepts only 4-8 characters.
2.Differences between Positive Testing and Negative Testing:
Positive Testing:
-Tested to check the application functions as expected.
-Input is given as the system designed.
-If errors occur during the positive testing the test fails.
Negative Testing:
-Tested to check the functions of application when unexpected behavior occurs.
-Input is identified for which the system is not designed.
-The testing ensures that the software can handle the improper behavior of the system.
3.Advantages of Negative Testing:

ensures the stability and security of the software.
-Good quality of the product will be provided to the client.
4.Characteristics of Negative Testing:
-Negative testing can recognize the faults which can leat to major failure of the software.
-Negative testing can identify how the security breaches occure.
1. Negative Testing is a software testing that can be performed on the system by providing invalid data as input. It checks whether an application behaves as expected with the negative inputs. This is to test the application does not do anything that it is not supposed to do .
2. Positive testing makes sure that the system accepts inputs for the normal use by the user. For example, checking the system for a user name and password combination to login is a way of positive testing. Positive testing determines that your application works as expected. If an error is encountered during positive testing, the test fails
In the Negative testing the application is validated against the invalid inputs. It tests for excessive inputs. It is done with unknown set of test conditions and anything that is not mentioned in the client requirement is tested.
3. The advantages of negative testing is to prevent the application from crashing and it also helps improve the quality of an application by detecting defects. Negative testing helps you to improve the testing coverage of the application. Negative testing is important in the organization’s perspective because it is the responsibility of every organization to build a good quality product to the customer.

B) It is performed to find the software weakness and its potential for exploitation.
C) It is conducted to identify how the security breaches can occur.
1) what is Negative testing?
Negative testing is to find out how the software behaves by invalid inputs and data sets, for example: If we enter wrong input in required filed, it should give error message saying that enter valid details. So that way the user will enter correct details. Negative testing to know about the stability of the of the software when unexpected behavior occurs. It will helps to release the quality software product to the client. Ex- gmail login, when we enter Inavalid user ID and password, we expect to see an error message.
2) Mention the difference between positive and negative testing?
Positive testing will give you the expected results by valid inputs and data sets. If the positive testing gives you the error message then the software fails. In Negative testing, how the application behaves by invalid inputs and unexpected behavior . These invalid inputs are not designed in the project but we need to look for several of them to test the application how it responds and how we can avoid system crash in those particular situations.
3) Advantages of the Negative testing:
Negative testing helps to improve and provide the quality software to the client by testing invalid data sets on the application. It helps to save the application by crashing. At the end every organization responsibility to provide quality product to their customers.

What are the advantages of Negative testing?
the advantage of negative Testing is we can identify the negative cases of scenario and we can always see the application behavior with the invalid data.
Explain the characteristics of Negative testing?
By use of Negative testing we can identify the negative scenario for the application . and also we can make sure the behavior of the application with invalid sets of data.
Negative Testing is done to identify how the application functions with input invalid. For example, when you enter incorrect allowed data.
Positive testing is done to prove that the application functions as expected while Negative testing is done to find defects under different scenarios.
Negative testing helps check how the application responds under unexpected scenarios of incorrect data inputs.
It is done to find faults that can cause the application to fail/crash.
It is done to find the application vulnerability.
It is done to check where security breaches can happen in the application.
Testing the applications reaction to unexpected bahavior and invalid input.
Positive testing checks that the application responds correctly to expected input instead.
Negative testing improves the quality of the application so that it will not crash or otherwise malfunction when it’s not used exactly as intended.
It looks for potentially failure-causing faults and shows where security breaches could occur if someone exploited the weak points.
Negative testing is a type of software testing that tests whether the application handles unexpected behavior or invalid data inputs.
Differences between Positive and negative testing:
Positive Testing: Application functions as expected with valid data sets. Tests the software and proves that the results are met as per the requirement.
Negative Testing: Application handles invalid data sets or unexpected behavior. Tests the software to see if the results are showing the error as expected to show or showing error when it is not expected to show.
Advantages: The advantage of Negative Testing is to make sure the software is developed in such a way that it will not crash or show abnormal behavior in negative scenarios. E.g. Incorrect data inputs. In other words, to check the stability of software under the influences of various of incorrect data sets.
Characteristics of Negative testing:
Negative testing is done
– To show the faults that can lead to major failures.
– To find the software weakness and its potential for exploitation
– To identify how the security breaches can occur.
Negative testing is a good method to ensure that the behavior is what the business wants it to be. By doing negative testing you are covering more scenarios of what could possibly happen with user in production.
There are two types of testing.
1.Positive testing : Testing that is done to ensure that the software application works as expected with the valid set of data. If error occurs during positive testing the test fails.
2.Negative testing : Testing done on a software application by providing invalid set of data and to ensure that the software works as expected with the invalid or unwanted user inputs.
Negative testing is important as it helps improve the quality of the software. Negative testing helps identify the stability of the software under the influence of various types of invalid data set.

Mention the difference between Positive and negative testing?
1.Negative Testing
Negative Testing is a testing method performed on the software application by
providing invalid or improper data sets as input. It checks whether the software
application behaves as expected with the negative or unwanted user inputs.
2.Difference between Positive and negative testing:
Positive testing determines that your application works as expected. If an error is
encountered during positive testing, the test fails. Negative testing ensures that
your application can gracefully handle invalid input or unexpected user behavior.
3.Advantages of Negative Testing:
Doing negative testing makes sure that all possible cases are covered.
Intentionally or unintentionally there is a chance of negative test cases to occur. So
to make sure all cases are covered we have to do negative testing along with
positive testing.
Negative testing will make more confidence to the client before going live.
4. Characteristics of Negative testing:
Negative Testing is done, with the purpose, of breaking the system, and to achieve
failure, in the functioning of a software product, by feeding negative data.
Negative Testing is performed to expose the software weakness and potential for
exploitation.
Negative testing is checking how the application handles, against various types of invalid data.
Positive Testing is testing the application with valid and expected data, to check if working as expected.
Main advantage is it improves the quality of the application, therefore help in delivering stable and secure product.
Characteristics are it identifies potential failures, security breeches and software vulnerability.
1.) Negative testing is a type of testing where you enter invalid data to detect possiblie crashes in different situations. Some different ways situations can be tested are populating required fields, correspondence between data and field types, allowed data bounds and limits, and reasonable data. Testing invalid inputs will help ensure the software stabaility in situations the software isn’t designed for and under the influences of various invalid data.
2.) The difference between negative and positive testing is in the testing methods between the two. Positive testing is testing the application functions with expected valid inputs, if an error occurs with the correct input the test is considered failed. In negative testing the application is tested using invalid data to ensure there is no crashes or errors with inproper use of the software.
3.) The advantages of negative testing are this method tests the unexpected using invalid data. Testing with the unexpected will ensure system stability and will show the software will operate correctly under many different circumstances. Some things are inevitable such as leaving something blank, typing in something wrong, incorrect password, blank user name, etc. By testing all these things I believe it will lead to higher customer satisfaction.
4.) Negative testing uses invalid data to further test the quality and stability of a software by testing the unexpected. This type of testing also ensures the securuty if the software which is impotant to customer satisfaction. Some characteristics of negative testing are as follows:
-It is carried out to point out the faults which can lead to major failures.
-It is performed to find software weakness and its potential for exploitation.
