Introduction to Software Testing
An early software testing plays an important role in reducing the time and cost of the project, minimize risk of failure and deliver a software that meets the quality standards. Software testing mustbe done at different levels of the software development with a specific objective at each level. There are wide variety of software testing types to test the various features of software chosen based on the project scenario. However, the software testing can either be a manual testing or automation testing.
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing. In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project. It is an inexpensive way of testing and the benefits depend on the software tester. Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator (a test lead can play the role of moderator). The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. During the review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe (a role assigned to one of the tester during review meeting) documents the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
Testing is an integral part of the software development process and helps in ensuring that the software:
- Performs as expected.
- Is free from defects and bugs.
- Meets performance criteria.
- Functions well in a variety of conditions and environments.
Classification of Software Testing
Classification of Software TestingSoftware testing can be classified in several ways, depending on the testing approach, environment, and objectives. Below are the major classifications of software testing:
Based on the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
In the context of SDLC, software testing is typically classified into two major categories:
Static Testing
Static testing involves reviewing the software’s documentation, code, or design without executing the program. This form of testing is done in the early stages of the development process to detect errors in design or code. Common methods include code reviews, inspections, and walkthroughs. Static testing is a preventive measure that helps identify defects early, reducing the cost of fixing errors.
Dynamic Testing
Dynamic testing involves executing the code and validating its functionality. This is performed after the software has been developed or partially developed to ensure it behaves as expected. Dynamic testing checks the software’s performance, security, and usability, typically covering functional and non-functional aspects.
Based on Test Execution
Test execution-based classification refers to how tests are executed, whether by humans or through automated tools. This classification includes two primary types:
Manual Testing
Manual testing requires human intervention for test execution. Testers manually execute test cases, exploring the application, identifying bugs, and verifying that it meets its requirements. Manual testing is ideal for:
- Exploratory testing
- Usability testing
- Ad-hoc testing
However, it can be time-consuming and prone to human errors, especially for large and repetitive test cases.
Automated Testing
Automated testing involves the use of tools and scripts to execute test cases. Once the tests are automated, they can be run repeatedly, making them ideal for regression testing and performance testing. Common automation tools include Selenium, QTP, and JUnit.
The key benefits of automated testing are:
- Speed: Tests can be executed quickly, allowing for rapid feedback.
- Accuracy: Reduces the possibility of human errors.
- Reusability: Automated scripts can be reused across different projects or test scenarios.
Based on Test Design Techniques
Test design techniques refer to the approach used to design test cases. These techniques can be broadly categorized into:
Black Box Testing
Black box testing treats the software as a “black box,” meaning testers do not have access to the internal code structure. Testers evaluate the software by interacting with its user interface and verifying its outputs against expected results. It focuses on validating the software’s functionality and is often used for:
- Functional testing
- Regression testing
- User acceptance testing
White Box Testing
White box testing, also known as clear or glass box testing, gives testers access to the internal code structure. Testers design test cases based on the internal logic, paths, and conditions of the code. It is typically used for:
- Unit testing
- Integration testing
- Code coverage analysis
Grey Box Testing
Grey box testing is a combination of black box and white box testing. Testers have partial knowledge of the internal structure of the software, which helps them design more efficient test cases. It is often used in integration testing and security testing.
Based on the Testing Environment
Alpha Testing
Alpha testing is conducted in a controlled environment, usually by the internal teams, before the software is released to external users. It helps identify bugs and usability issues early in the development cycle.
Beta Testing
Beta testing is performed by real users in a production environment. It is typically the final phase of testing before the software is officially released. Beta testing helps gather feedback from actual users and ensures the software works as expected in real-world scenarios.
Production Testing
Production testing, also known as “live testing,” is done in the actual production environment. This is typically a continuous testing phase to monitor and resolve issues in real-time while the software is being used by end-users.
Manual vs Automated Testing
While manual and automated testing are both essential, they serve different purposes based on the project needs.
Manual Testing Advantages:
- Exploratory nature allows testers to identify unexpected issues.
- Cost-effective for small-scale projects.
- Effective for usability testing, where human feedback is essential.
Automated Testing Advantages:
- Faster execution of repetitive test cases.
- Ideal for large-scale projects with frequent code changes.
- Reduces the possibility of human errors.
Both manual and automated testing have their place in software testing, and often, a combination of the two (a hybrid approach) is used to achieve optimal results.
Black Box vs White Box Testing
Black box and white box testing are fundamentally different in terms of their approach:
Black Box Testing:
- Focuses on functionality without knowledge of the internal code.
- Testers interact with the software through the UI and validate expected outcomes.
- Ideal for user acceptance testing, system testing, and functional testing.
White Box Testing:
- Focuses on the internal structure of the code.
- Requires knowledge of programming and coding skills.
- Ideal for unit testing, code coverage, and verifying logic within the software.
The key difference lies in the level of knowledge testers have about the software’s internals. Both testing methods are necessary to ensure the software is thoroughly tested from all angles.
Functional vs Non-functional Testing
Functional and non-functional testing are two important aspects of software testing that target different objectives:
Functional Testing:
Functional testing ensures that the software performs its specified functions correctly. It validates the software’s features and behaviors, including:
- Input validation
- Data manipulation
- Business logic implementation
- User interface interactions
Functional testing methods include:
- Unit testing: Testing individual components of the software.
- Integration testing: Testing the interaction between multiple components.
- System testing: Testing the complete software system as a whole.
Non-functional Testing:
Non-functional testing evaluates how well the software performs under various conditions. It assesses attributes like performance, scalability, security, and usability. Common types of non-functional testing include:
- Performance Testing: Verifies the speed, responsiveness, and stability of the software under different load conditions.
- Load Testing: Assesses the software’s performance when subjected to a high volume of concurrent users or transactions.
- Stress Testing: Tests the software’s behavior under extreme conditions to determine its breaking point.
- Security Testing: Ensures that the software is free from vulnerabilities that could be exploited by malicious actors.
Both functional and non-functional testing are crucial for ensuring that the software meets its functional requirements and performs well in various environments.
Conclusion
The classification of software testing helps testers choose the right testing strategy based on the objectives, scope, and stage of development. From static and dynamic testing to black box, white box, and grey box testing, each type plays a vital role in ensuring the quality and reliability of software.
A successful testing strategy often includes a combination of manual and automated testing, as well as a mix of functional and non-functional testing techniques. As software systems continue to evolve, the need for thorough and diverse testing methods becomes more important, ensuring that the software is defect-free and ready to meet the demands of users and businesses alike.

software testing divided into two type 1. Static testing 2. dynamic testing
In Static testing, documents are reviewed to identify the defects. The review can be a formal or informal or technical review, the informal review is done by QA Analyst at any time in the project. The formal or technical review is done by Moderator (test lead).
In Dynamic testing, software is done during execution. Dynamic testing classified into 1. white box testing 2.black box testing
white box testing is also called as structural testing.They are two type 1. integration testing is used to rest interface between components 2.unit testing or component testing is used to test each program in isolation.
developers are used white box testing tools during development environment.
Another type dynamic testing is black box testing .it is also called as specification-based testing.
Black box testing again classified in to
1.User Acceptance Testing(UAT)
2.System testing
System testing on software and both functional and nonfunctional testing id done by QA team.
system testing is performed in the testing environment by using various tools
After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing. The users perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing,
In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. In the dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution.
It is another nice article written by Priya on the Classification of Software Testing. Looking forward to see more on what kind of various different software testing tools are being used in IT environment for the software testing purposes.
Two types of software testing are Statis and Dynamic.
Statis testing- documents are reviewed to identify the defects.
Dynamic testing- software is tested during execution. It is divided into two testers white box testing or black box testing.
Unit Testing-testing one unit or group
Integration Testing-testing several components for one output
Functional Testing-to see if system function correctly
System Testing-testing system in multiple enviornments
Stress Testing-what a product does under unfavorable condition
Performance Testing-how effective a system is when tested
Usability Testing-testing how the client would interact with the system
Acceptance Testing-done by the client on the finished product
Static Testing – During this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing – In Dynamic Testing the software is tested during execution. Dynamic is classified into 2 types – White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into system and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by users with help of instructions or assistance by QAs or business analysts.
Software testing done by Manual testing or Automation testing.
Software testing types are Static testing and Dynamic testing.
In Static testing, software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be 1) Informal review which is conducted by QA analyst at anytime during project and its an inexpensive. 2) Formal review or Inspection or Technical review, which is planned and controlled by the moderator. 3) Review during walk through meeting .
In Dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing there is White box testing and Black box testing. White box testing has two types 1.Unit testing or the component testing and 2. Integration testing. In Unit testing each program is tested individually. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between different programs.
Black box testing types are 1.System testing and 2.User Acceptance Testing (UAT) .
1. The system testing is conducted by QA team to establish the quality of the software. In this testing both functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested.
2.After the system testing, users tests the usability of the software in UAT. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. In Alpha testing, users perform the UAT in IT environment . If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it is called as Beta testing.
Testing can be done in 2 ways manual and automation as per the project need. They are further classified into static and dynamic testing .
–>Wherein static testing is done at the starting phase of the project before the developments where the QA team check the errors in the docs by doing the review and make a note of them and the types of the tests include informal,formal,walkthrough,technical review.
–>Dynamic Testing is the type of test which is done once the programming is done .It is further divided into 2 types
1. whitebox testing : this is done by programmers .
It has –unit testing and integration testing.
2. Blackbox Testing –
-System testing : This is done by QA to check the quality of the s/w.
-UAT : this is done by users and QA may assist the users in doing the UAT .
this is further divided into
Alpa testing: Users do the testing in the IT environment.
Beta Testing: Users do the testing in the real or Pre-production environment.
There are two basics of software testing: blackbox testing and whitebox testing.
Blackbox Testing
Black box testing is a testing technique that ignores the internal mechanism of the system and focuses on the output generated against any input and execution of the system. It is also called functional testing.
Whitebox Testing
White box testing is a testing technique that takes into account the internal mechanism of a system(Code or program)
Types of testing
There are many types of testing like
Unit testing is the testing of an individual unit or group of related units. It falls under the class of white box testing. It is often done by the programmer to test that the unit he/she has implemented is producing expected output against given input.
Integration testing is testing in which a group of components are combined to produce output. Also, the interaction between software and hardware is tested in integration testing if software and hardware components have any relation. It may fall under both white box testing and black box testing.
Functional testing is the testing to ensure that the specified functionality required in the system requirements works. It falls under the class of black box testing.
System testing is the testing to ensure that by putting the software in different environments (e.g., Operating Systems) it still works. System testing is done with full system implementation and environment. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Usability testing is performed to the perspective of the client, to evaluate how the GUI is user-friendly? How easily can the client learn? After learning how to use, how proficiently can the client perform? How pleasing is it to use its design? This falls under the class of black box testing.
Acceptance testing is often done by the customer to ensure that the delivered product meets the requirements and works as the customer expected. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Regression testing is the testing after modification of a system, component, or a group of related units to ensure that the modification is working correctly and is not damaging or imposing other modules to produce unexpected results. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Beta testing is the testing which is done by end users, a team outside development, or publicly releasing full pre-version of the product which is known as beta version. The aim of beta testing is to cover unexpected errors. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Software testing is divided into two type of testing ,Static testing or Dynamic testing ,
static testing : In static testing project documents are reviewed to identify the errors, the formal informal review are these review
conducted by the QA anytime during the project.
Dynamic testing :it has two type of testing white box testing or black box testing ;
White box : it “s divided another two type of testing unit testing or integration testing both are using the development environment .
Black box ; it is divided into system testing or user acceptance testing (UAT) ,the independent team test the system either functional or nonfunctional by QA,now user test the usability of s\w testing tools user can perform the UAT in IT environment it;s
called ALPHA tasting after that s\w tested by user in real or production environment it;s called BETA testing.
Testing can broadly be classified as Static testing and Dynamic testing.
In static testing, review of project documents are done to identify defects or any missing information. Static testing can be done as either informal review, formal review or walkthrough meetings. In informal review, any tester can review any document anytime and no updates have to be sent. There’s no monitoring and this is an inexpensive approach. In formal review, the test lead will be the moderator who assigns roles and documents to the team members. Certain rules and checklists will be provided according to which the review has to be done. In the review meeting the defects will be discussed and documented by a member (scribe). At the end of the meeting, a review report which is prepared by the reviewers is checked by the moderator. Walkthrough meeting is held when any new information is to be discussed or when there are new members in the team.
Dynamic testing can be classified as white box testing and black box testing.
White box testing can further be classified into unit testing (testing each program independently) and integration testing (testing interfaces between programs). Both these tests are done by developers in development environment using development tools.
Black box testing includes system testing and User Acceptance testing (UAT). System testing is done by QA analysts in test environment with software testing tools, to check the functional and non functional characteristics of the end application . UAT is done by the real users. When UAT is done in the IT environment its called alpha testing and when it’s done in the real environment it’s called beta testing.
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
Static testing:
In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project.
Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator (a test lead can play the role of moderator).
The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. During the review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe (a role assigned to one of the tester during review meeting) documents the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
Dynamic Testing:
Dynamic Testing classified in to White Box or structural testing and Black Box Testing.
White Box Testing: – The two types of white box testing are unit testing and integration testing. . The developers conduct the white box testing using tools in the development environment.
Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components
Black Box Testing:-
The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing.
System Testing :
QA team will be doing this type of testing. The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment. After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing
UAT:
User Acceptance Testing is done by Users .It is classified in to Alpha and Beta Testing. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. When users perform the UAT in IT environment , it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.

Static testing and dynamic testing. Static tsting is a revieww of project documents to identify erros Under Dynamic testing we have white box testing, black box testing. WHite box is where we can see the programs where as in black box, we cannot see the program. Then there is Alpha and Beta testing. Then there is unit teesting, integration testing , .
I have ran into Beta testing in my past for sure. I Beta test new IOS updates occasionally .
The testing can broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing. Static testing means review of project docs to identify the errors.it can be formal ,informal or inspection and walkthrough . where formal and informal testing provides the project information and walkthrough provides project information as well identify the errors.
Dynamic testing refers to software testing.it can be white box testing and Black box testing. White box testing is also known as structural testing and it is done by developer it can be an unit test and integration test. Black board testing refers to no program testing so it is done by QA and users the system testing is done by QA and UAT is done by users. It can be done in IT environment which is known as alpha testing and the testing in a real environment known as Beta testing
There are two different categories of software testing. Static testing and dynamic testing. Mainly in static testing project documents are thoroughly checked and errors are identified earlier before it proceeds to other phase of testing. In Dynamic testing software is executed and it’s tested in different levels and components. Furthermore, dynamic is testing is divided in two categories, white box testing and black box testing. In white box testing, each unit of software is tested individually and after completion of the unit test it’s integrated and tested as integration testing where overall functions of written code examined. Black Box testing is done by QA and it’s categorized into system testing and user acceptance testing . The purpose of system test is to analyze quality of software , whereas UAT verifies usability of software in user end
Software testing is of two types Manual and Automation testing
it is classified into static and dynamic testing
static testing is done to review the project documents to identify the errors.
static testing reduces the errors ,time and cost and do improve the quality by the reviewing the document at each step.
it has 3 techniques Informal,Formall and walkthrough way.
In the informal method any QA can revie the document anytime in the project .This is inexpensive .
In formal inspection their will be a test lead/moderator who assigns roles to the team and gives the checklists. There will be a review meeting where errors are discussed and documentation is done .scribe will make note of the meeting discussion .the QA s will submit the report to the test lead at the end of the meeting.
Dynamic testing is classified into white box and back box testing.
white box testing where programs are tested by the developers which is divided into unit and integration testing.In unit testing each component of the program is tested by developer .Integration testing is done to test the interfaces between components of the programs.
Black box testing is divided into system testing and UAT testing. Here no programs are tested.
System testing is done by real time QA s where they use testing tools to do the test.Once the system test is done the software will be ready for users to do UAT testing .QA s may assist users in how to use the software .if the UAT testing is done IT environment it is called as Alpha testing .If it is done in real time it is called as Beta testing
Software testing steps – static testing and dynamic testing.
static testing – the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project.
Dynamic testing – software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing.
Software Testing- Identify the defects in the software and verify the compliacne of the s/w with client requirements.
Software development life cycle – scope of identification, plan, analysis, design, develop,s/w testing,deployment,UAT.
Scope of identification – High-level requirements are gathered from the client by the Business Analyst and/or Project Manager.
Plan : In the planning phase, IT Project Manager plans the schedule and budget of the project. All the plans are documented in Project Plan document.
Analysis – documents containing requirements and its specifications are to be signed off from the client like the mock up diagrams, use cases, context diagrams, activity diagrams are more commonly used to explain the client requirements. This task is done by Business Analyst.
Design -blueprint or programming logic of software is designed by a Technical Architects team.
Development – Program to design the s/w done by developers.
S/w testing – Different testing levels done by QA to identify the defects and verify the requirements of client.
Deployment- is to release the software to client with the help of administrators and whole team.
UAT- end users are here to verify the product or software with product environments mainly Alpha and Beta.
alpha testing – is done within the IT environment.
Beta testing – is done in real environment.

1. The software testing can be classified as Static testing and Dynamic testing.
a. Static testing : The software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors.
The review can be formal,informal, inception, technical or a review during walk through meeting.
can be conducted by QA analyst anytime , its inexpensive way of testing
b. Dynamic testing is tested during execution. It can be White box testing or Black box testing
White box testing has 2 types of testing : unit testing and integration testing .
unit testing is testing each program components in isolation. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program
and components.
There are two types of software testing.
1. Static testing
2. Dynamic testing
Static testing reviews the project document to identify errors by QA. Example Missing Information.
If errors are not found in first phase .Errors will be repeated and it will increase cost of project. So each steps require Review to eliminate errors. Static testing can be review by 3 ways:
1.Formal/Inspection
2.Informal
3.Walkthrough
Formal/inspection testing is lead by moderator. Moderator reviews meeting. He makes plan for project and also controls it .He makes checklist to work on. He is also test lead.
Informal testing means any QA can review any document anytime in the project. It is inexpensive. No updates and no monitoring is required in this type of testing.
Walkthrough is to provide project information to identify errors. New information is provided by Senior QA or test lead or Authors( A person who writes document )
Dynamic testing are classified in two:
1.White box testing
2.Black box testing
white box testing is also called as structural testing where developer can see the programs coding. There are two types:
1.Unit/Component testing
2.Integration testing
Unit testing means each component is tested separately.
Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
Black box testing are again classified in two:
System testing
UAT(User acceptance testing)
System testing means it is done by QA team to verify the defects.
After system testing now software is ready for user to use it.Users are using this software in two types of testing.
Alpha testing
Beta testing
Alpha test means users are using this software in IT environment with help of developer and team.
Beta testing means users are using software in Real or Pre production environment.
Software testing are manual or automation testing, generally called Static or dynamic testing. Static
The software testing is classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
Static testing: software project documents are first reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. Informal review is done by a QA analyst anytime during the project. It is inexpensive. Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator. The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. Errors are discussed during the review meeting with a scribe documenting the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
Dynamic testing::
Software is tested during the execution which can be white box testing (structural testing} or black box testing.
White box testing:
The two types of white box testing are unit testing (component testing) is testing each program component in isolation and integration testing test the interfaces between the program components. White box testing is done by the developers using tools in the development environment.
Black box testing
Black box testing {specification-based testing} comprises of system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT). Independent team of QA analysts conduct system testing to establish the quality of the software.. The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment. Users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing after the system testing,. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. Alpha testing is when the users perform the UAT in IT environment. Beta testing is when the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment.
1. There is manual testing and automation testing. Software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing in which project documents are reviewed to identify errors, or dynamic testing which is software tested during execution. Dynamic testing is further classified into white box testing or black box testing. White box testing is composed of unit testing and integration testing and is done by developers. Black box testing is composed of system testing done by the QA and user acceptance testing done by users.
Testing Types:
Static Testing: Reviewing of project documents to identify errors.
o Techniques of Static testing:
Informal Testing: It’s an inexpensive procedure where the QA can review any document any time during the project without any updates and monitoring. Mainly done to identify errors.
Formal Inspection: The moderator plans and controls the project and assigns the different roles for software testing. Once the errors are identified, there are formal review meetings held where they discuss the errors, decide how to fix it and later follow up on the errors.
Walkthrough: Mainly done to provide project information and identify errors. New testers are provided with project information by the Senior QA.
Dynamic Testing: It’s used for testing the software.
o White Box Testing: Programs are tested.
Unit Component Test: Testing each program component in isolation. Testing done by developers.
Integration Test: Testing interface between the program components. Testing done by developers.
o Black Box testing: No programs are tested. Different functionalities of the software is tested.
Quality Assurance: Where the software system is tested.
User Acceptance Test: Users test the software with the help of quality analysts.
• Alpha Test: Testing is done in IT environment.
• Beta Test: Testing done in real environment.
Exploratory Test: Used to explore the software to understand the software, identify defects when less time is available for testing.
Smoke Test: Testing the initial steps of functionality.
Functionality Test: Testing each functionality in detail and in depth with different combinations of the data and the steps.
Sanity Test: Testing initial steps of the functionality in which the defects have been fixed.
Retesting: Testing if the defects are fixed.
Regression Test: Test if new defects are introduced into the softwaredue to changes in software and its environment.
Testing are of two type: Static Testing and Dynamic testing.
Static Testing: Staic testing is done by QA to review the project documents to identify error. Techniques used here are Informal review, Formal review or inspection and Walkthrough.
In Informal testing any QA can review any document any time during the project.
In Formal testing or inspection everything is planned and controlled by the moderator. The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. Errors are discussed during the review meeting and everything is documented by a scribe. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
Walkthrough is generally done by senior QA or test leads where new testers are provided with project information.
Dynamic Testing is testing of the actual software.IT is of two types white box testing and black box testing.
White Box Testing: Programs are tested in IT environment by the developers.
Unit/ Component Testing: Testing each program independently.
Integration Testing: Testing interfaces or interlinks between the program components.
Black Box testing: in this type applications are tested.
System Testing: Software is tested by QA and released to the client.
User Acceptance Test: Users test the software either in IT or real environment. there are two types of UAT:
Alpha Testing: Testing is done in IT environment with the help of QA.
Beta Test: Testing is done in real environment.
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
A) Static Testing : review the code manually or the documents to identify the error.
B) Dynamic Testing : software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be White box testing or Blackbox testing.
B1) White Box testing also called structural testing which is done by developers in development environment. In unit testing testing will be carried out at program level. Unit testing and Integration testing are types of White box testing.
In Unit testing/ Component testing each program component will be tasted in isolation. In integration the interfaces between the program components will be tested.
B2) Black box testing is also known as specification-based testing. Black box testing further classified in to System testing and UAT. System testing is done by QA. UAT is performed by users which has further two types, Alpha testing and Beta testing. Alpha testing is done in IT environment. And Beta testing is done in real environment.
There are two types of testings performed:
Static and dynamic.
Static is further divided into following:
Informal where a QA can review any document any time during the project. there are no updates and no monitoring required. Its the most inexpensive testing method.
Formal, which is done by the test lead, also called moderator. This requires planning and controlling. Different roles are assigned to different team members and meetings are conducted to review the progress and errors in the projects.
Walkthrough: where new testers are provided with project information by senior QA or project lead.
Dynamic testing is further divided into white box and black box testing. White box comprises of unit testing and integration testing which are done by the developers and black box testing comprises of system testing which is done by the QA and UAT – user acceptance testing which is done by the users. The UAT is further classified as Alpha testing – which is done in the IT environment and Beta testing which is done in the real environment.
Soft ware testing
Static testing
Dynamic testing
Black box testing
Dynamic testing can be either white box or black box testing.
Software testing is divided into static and dynamic testing:
1. Static testing is reviewing software project document for any errors. Review can be formal, informal, technical or review during walkthrough meeting.
Informal meeting is inexpensive meeting and can be done at any point of time by QA analyst. In formal meeting the QA analyst goes through the project document before meeting, during meeting scribe makes note of the discussions made and at the end of meeting reviewers submit report.
Dynamic testing includes white box and black box testing. White box testing unit and integration testing. Unit testing means testing each program individually which is done by developers.
Integration testing means testing the program interface which is also done by developers.
Black box testing includes system and UAT testing. System testing is done by QA. Both functional and non functional characteristics of software are tested.
UAT testing are done by users and QA helps users I performing testing in IT and real environment.
Static Testing – During this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing – In Dynamic Testing the software is tested during execution. Dynamic is classified into 2 types – White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into system and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by users with help of instructions or assistance by QAs or business analysts.
Have no experience in testing, so didnt come across any testing.
Software testing is broadly classified as static and dynamic testing.
Static testing:Review of project documents by QA analysts to identify errors.Informal review is the inexpensive way of testing ,can be done by QA analyst anytime during the project.Formal review is controlled by moderator or test lead.The reviewers submit report to moderator at end of the review meeting.
Dynamic testing:Functional testing of the project.Classified as White box(Structural) testing and Black box(Specification based)testing.White box testing is done by developers involves unit/component testing and integration testing.Black box testing involves System testing and User Acceptance testing.System testing is performed by QA analysts to check quality of the software . User acceptance testing is performed by users or clients.UAT performed in Development environment is called Alpha testing whereas UAT performed in real or pre-production environment is called Beta testing.
Software testing-> static testing and dynamic testing
Dynamic testing-> Whitebox and black box testing
white box testing-> unit testing and integration testing
black box testing-> system testing and UAT
UAT-> Alpha testing and beta tesating
There are two basics of software testing:
Blackbox Testing
Black box testing is a testing technique that ignores the internal mechanism of the system and focuses on the output generated against any input and execution of the system. It is also called functional testing.
Whitebox Testing
White box testing is a testing technique that takes into account the internal mechanism of a system. It is also called structural testing and glass box testing.
Black box testing is often used for validation and white box testing is often used for verification.
Types of Software Testing:
Unit Testing
Unit testing is the testing of an individual unit or group of related units. It falls under the class of white box testing. It is often done by the programmer to test that the unit he/she has implemented is producing expected output against given input.
Integration Testing
Integration testing is testing in which a group of components are combined to produce output. Also, the interaction between software and hardware is tested in integration testing if software and hardware components have any relation. It may fall under both white box testing and black box testing.
Functional Testing
Functional testing is the testing to ensure that the specified functionality required in the system requirements works. It falls under the class of black box testing.
System Testing
System testing is the testing to ensure that by putting the software in different environments (e.g., Operating Systems) it still works. System testing is done with full system implementation and environment. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Stress Testing
Stress testing is the testing to evaluate how system behaves under unfavorable conditions. Testing is conducted at beyond limits of the specifications. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Performance Testing
Performance testing is the testing to assess the speed and effectiveness of the system and to make sure it is generating results within a specified time as in performance requirements. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Usability Testing
Usability testing is performed to the perspective of the client, to evaluate how the GUI is user-friendly? How easily can the client learn? After learning how to use, how proficiently can the client perform? How pleasing is it to use its design? This falls under the class of black box testing.
Acceptance Testing
Acceptance testing is often done by the customer to ensure that the delivered product meets the requirements and works as the customer expected. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Regression Testing
Regression testing is the testing after modification of a system, component, or a group of related units to ensure that the modification is working correctly and is not damaging or imposing other modules to produce unexpected results. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Beta Testing
Beta testing is the testing which is done by end users, a team outside development, or publicly releasing full pre-version of the product which is known as beta version. The aim of beta testing is to cover unexpected errors. It falls under the class of black box testing.
Ans.: The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or
inspection, technical review, or a review during walk through meeting.
In the dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing.
White box testing: The white box testing is also called as structural testing. Program can be seen in white box testing. The two types of white box
testing are unit testing and integration testing.
Unit Testing: Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation.
Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
Black Box Testing: Black Box Testing is termed as specification-based testing. Program can’t be seen in black box testing. The system testing and user
acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing.
System Testing: The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment
UAT: User can test the usability of the software in UAT. The two types of UAT are Alpha & Beta. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
Alpha Testing: It is done in IT environment.
Beta testing: It is done in the real or pre-production environment .
The different types of software testing are :
* STATIC TESTING
* DYNAMIC TEST
* STATIC TESTING : Review of project documents to Identify errors in documents by QA .
Different technique of static testing :
Informal testing – Identify error
Formal/Inspection Testing -Identify error
Walk through -Provide project information to new tester to identity errors.
*DYNAMIC TESTING: Dynamic testing ,software is tested during the execution. It can be either be :
1.White Box testing
2.Black Box Testing
1.White box testing : There are two types (i) Unit testing (ii) Integration testing
2. Black box testing : There are two types (i) System testing (ii) UAT
UAT- User Acceptance testing
The users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing.
If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
1.software testing is either manual testing or automation testing.
2.The software testing types is classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
3.static testing – documents are reviewed.
4.dynamic testing – software is tested during the execution: white box or black box testing.
5.white box testing- it is done by developers under development environment- unit testing and integration testing
6.black box testing- system testing by QA, and UAT by users. UAT- alpha testing under IT environment, beta testing under real or pre-production environment.
Testing Types:
(A)Static Testing:
1.Informal Testing 2. Formal Inspection 3. Walkthrough.
(B)Dynamic Testing:
(1) White Box Testing: (a)Unit Component Test (b)Integration Test
(2) Black Box testing: (a)System testing
(b)User Acceptance Test
• Alpha Test.
• Beta Test
Other types of testing
1.Exploratory Test 2.Smoke Test 3.Functionality Test
4.Sanity Test 5. Retesting Test 6. Regression Test
Testing can be done manually and with automation tools. Software testing can be classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
Stating testing – projects are reviewed to identify errors. it can be informal, formal, inspection and walk through method.
Dynamic testing – software is tested during execution and classified into white box testing and black box testing.
white box testing – it is done by the developers in the code level and it has two types unit or component testing and integration testing.
unit/component testing – testing done in each module or component to detect the errors
integration testing – all the unit or modules are test individually then integrated then tested as a whole software
black box testing – this test is performed by the QA particularly on specification or requirement based testing and it is classified into system testing and user acceptance testing.
user acceptance testing – alpha testing done in the IT environment and beta testing done in the real environment
Manual and automation testing are classified into Static and Dynamic testing. stactic testing is when software documents are reviewed to find errors. This can be informat, format, inspection, walkthrough meeting. The moderator controled the format review and inspetion.
Black box testing, ignores the internal mechanism of the system and focuses on the output generated against input and execution of the system. This is also a functional testing.
White box testing consiste of Unit or component testing, every component of software is tested with the intergration testing to the interface.
Ans: Static testing technically helps to find out and avoid the defects of the documents that is made mistake by the business analyst. The documents can be reviewed by informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. This testing can be done by inexpensive way by a QA analyst anytime during the project. When the defects of the document are found earlier in the review meeting, development will be productive and lots of improvements can be done by the trained lead or moderator and finally less number of modifications of software will be done.

Dynamic testing is tested during the execution and can be tested by white box testing or black box testing.
White box testing is included into unit testing and integration testing. Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing. The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing. The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment, functionally and non functionally characteristics by the QA team. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. The users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Different types of software testing that I have come across are:
– White box testing: Unit/Component testing and Integration testing using inbuilt debugging tools in VB.net
– Beta testing: Real time environment testing of multiple softwares on daily basis, web based and windows based.
Software testing can be manual or automation. It is broadly classified into Static Testing & Dynamic testing.
Static testing is reviewing of project documents by QA to identify errors. This can be done formally or informally. Informal review can be done by QA anytime during the project & is inexpensive. Formally it is done by test lead & discussions are documented by Scribe.
Dynamic testing is where software is tested in execution. It can be white box or black box testing. White box testing consists if Unit or Component testing where every component of software is tested & Integration testing to test interfaces if the components.
Black box testing consists if System Testing done by QA and UAT User Acceptance Testing. QA helps UAT in IT environment called Alpha testing and in real environment in Beta testing
This article covers the classification of software testing – static and dynamic, white box and black box testing, Unit/component testing, integration testing, system testing, user acceptance testing, Apha and Beta testing.
There are 2 types of software testing.
1.Static testing: In this testing, all BRD and FSD are reviewed formally or informally and it is done by QA.
2. Dynamic Testing: This type of testing happens when development is done. In this category, there is two type of testing which is: White box testing and Black box testing.
White Box testing: A. Unit testing
B. Integration testing
White box testing is done by developers because it is testing of all the codes and programs.
Black Box Testing:
System Testing: In this testing, both Functional and non-functional characteristics of software are tested by QA.
User Acceptance Testing (UAT): UAT are classified in 2 types of testing
1. Alpha testing: After the system testing, users test the usability of the software in UAT. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
2. Beta testing: In this testing, Software is tested by users in real time or pre-production
Software testing can be either Manual or Automation. It is broadly classified into Static and Dynamic testing.
1.Static testing:
Project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal, formal, technical and walkthrough.
Informal review: Can be conducted by QA at anytime of the project.
Formal review: Planned and controlled by team lead/ moderator. The QA review the project documents assigned before the review meeting. During the review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe documents the discussion. The reviewers submit the review report to the moderator at the end of the meeting.
Walkthrough: The project documents are assigned to the new testers inorder to review.
2. Dynamic testing:
It is classified into white box testing and black box testing.
a)White box testing: Also known as structural testing. it is conducted by the developers using tools in the development platform. It is divided into 2 types.
– Unit/Component testing: testing each program component in isolation.
– Integration testing: testing the interfaces between the program components.
b) Black box testing: Also know as specification based testing. It is divided into 2 types.
– System testing: It is conducted by QA to establish the quality of the software. Both the functionalities and non-functionalities of the software are tested. It is performed by using various tools in test environment.
– User acceptance testing: It is conducted after the system testing. Users can test the usability of the software. The QA may assist the users in UAT. Users performing UAT in IT environment is called alpha testing whereas in real environment it is called beta testing.
Software testing can be manual or automated and is classified in to Static and Dynamic testing.
Stating testing is done to identify error, different techniques of stating testing are informal, formal, inspection and walk through method.
In Dynamic testing the software is tested during execution and it is classified into white box testing and black box testing.
Software testing is mainly divided into-
– Static Testing (review of project documents)
-Dynamic Testing(Checking actual Software for it’s functionality)
Dynamic testing is further classified into
– White Box testing(performed by developers to test the programs )
– Black Box testing (No programs are tested )
White box testing is divided into-
– Unit or Component testing (tests individual programs and testing performed by developers)
-Integration testing (tests functionality of software by performing interface testing)
Black box testing is divided into
-System testing (performed by QA test the software functionality and individual programs are not tested)
-UAT (user acceptance testing) divided into
-Alpha testing(testing is performed in the IT environment)
-Beta testing (testing is performed in the real environment)
Software testing is categorized in to two types:
1) Static Testing:Here, the testing is performed by reviewing the software project documents to identify if there are any errors.
Eg: Informal reviews,Formal reviews,Inspections and walkthroughs.
2)Dynamic Testing: The software is tested during the execution .There are two types of dynamic testing:
a) White Box Testing: It is also known as structural testing or glass box testing. The developers conduct the white box testing
using tools in the development environment.
Unit testing and integration testing are performed in white box testing .
b) Black Box Testing:Black box testing is a software testing techniques in which functionality of the software under test (SUT) is
tested without looking at the internal code structure.
system testing and user acceptance testing are performed in black box testing.
-System Testing: In this testing, both Functional and non-functional characteristics of software are tested by QA.
– User acceptance testing in divided in to two types : alpha testing and beta testing.
Alpha testing:The users who perform the UAT in IT environment is called as Alpha testing.
Beta testing: The end users who perform the UAT in the real or production environment is called as beta testing.
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
The software testing can be classified into Static testing and Dynamic testing.In Static testing the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors.The review can be formal or informal,formal review done by QA, informal Done by Moderator.
In the dynamic testing we have white box testing,black box testing. white box testing we have 2 types, unit testing and integration testing. The white box testing is also called as structural testing.unit testing tests each program in component,where as integration testing test the interfaces between the program components.
In black box testing we have system testing which done by QA team,they do both functional and non functional charactristics of the software by using software testing tools.After system testing users will do UAT by the users,if the users are doing UAT in the IT environment it is called Alpha Testing,if they are doing in the real environment it can be called as Beta testing.
The software testing types are manual testing and automation testing.
Software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing in which project documents are reviewed to identify errors.
dynamic testing which is software tested during execution. Dynamic testing is further classified into white box testing or black box testing. White box testing is composed of unit testing and integration testing and is done by developers.

1.Static testing: is the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
2.Dynamic Testing: software is tested during the execution.
Dynamic testing is divided into:
a. White Box testing: Is also called as structural testing. This involves knowledge of coding for testing. There are two types of white box testing: Unit/component testing & integration testing.
i. Unit/component testing: Testing each program component in isolation.
II. integration testing: test the interfaces between the program components.
b. Black box testing: is also called as specification-based testing. Coding knowledge is not required in black box testing. There are two types of black box testing:
i. system testing: The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team
ii.User acceptance testing: users can test the usability of the software in IT environment know as Alpha testing or in production/real time environment know as Beta testing.

Software testing is done at various levels of the development cycles (SDLC). It can be done manually or automatically by using automation tools.
Software testing is mainly classified into static and dynamic testing.
Static testing is the review of projects and documents to identify the errors.
Dynamic testing is the testing of the software. It is further divided into white box testing and black box testing
The White box testing are done by developers and comprised of:
• Unit or component testing
• Integration testing
Black box testing:
• System testing
• UAT
System testing are done by Testers. UAT is user acceptance testing which is done by the end users, and when done in IT environment (alpha testing) and in real environment (beta testing).
Software testing is divided in to static and dynamic testing.
Static testing: In this reviewing the documents, walk through to identify errors early. It’s an inexpensive testing and can be done anytime by QAs.
Dynamic testing refers to white box and black box testing.
Unit/ component testing and integration testing are classified as white box testing and are done by developers.
System and integration testing types are referred to as black box testing and covers both functional and non functional testing types.
Black box testing are alpha testing done by end-users in testing environment and beta testing done by end users in production environment

If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Q-1: Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
– There two broad types of software testing:
a. Static Testing:
In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project. It is an inexpensive way of testing and the benefits depend on the software tester. Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator (a test lead can play the role of moderator). The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. During the review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe (a role assigned to one of the testers during review meeting) documents the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
b. Dynamic Testing:
In dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing (Structural Testing) or black box testing.
• White Box Testing/Structural Testing: The developers conduct the white box testing using tools in the development environment.
– Unit/Component Testing: Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation or independently.
– Integration Testing: Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
• Black Box Testing/ Specification-based testing:
– System testing: The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team. The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment.
– User acceptance testing (UAT): Users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
i. Alpha Testing: The users can perform the UAT in IT environment
ii. Beta Testing: If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Software testing is divided into two type of testing ,Static testing or Dynamic testing ,
static testing : In static testing project documents are reviewed to identify the errors, the formal informal review are these review
conducted by the QA anytime during the project.
Dynamic testing :it has two type of testing white box testing or black box testing ;
White box : it “s divided another two type of testing unit testing or integration testing both are using the development environment .
Black box ; it is divided into system testing or user acceptance testing (UAT) ,the independent team test the system either functional or nonfunctional by QA,now user test the usability of s\w testing tools user can perform the UAT in IT environment it;s
called ALPHA tasting after that s\w tested by user in real or production environment it;s called BETA testing.
software testing divided into two type 1. Static testing 2. dynamic testing.
In Static testing, documents are reviewed to identify the defects. The review can be a formal or informal or technical review, the informal review is done by QA Analyst at any time in the project. The formal or technical review is done by Moderator (test lead).
In Dynamic testing, software is done during execution. Dynamic testing classified into 1. white box testing 2.black box testing
white box testing is also called as structural testing.They are two type 1. integration testing is used to rest interface between components 2.unit testing or component testing is used to test each program in isolation.
Developers are used white box testing tools during development environment.
Another type dynamic testing is black box testing . It is also called as specification-based testing.
Black box testing again classified in to
1.User Acceptance Testing(UAT)
2.System testing
System testing on software and both functional and nonfunctional testing is done by QA team.
System testing is performed in the testing environment by using various testing tools.
After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing. The users perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Types of software testing
1. Static testing
2. Dynamic testing
Static testing:Project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. It can be informal,formal and walk through.
Dynamic testing:It can be either white box testing or black box testing.
Two types of white box testing.
1. unit testing or component testing:
-to test each program components.
2. integration testing:
-to test the interface between the program components.
The developers conduct the white box testing using tools.
Black box testing:
1.system testing
2. UAT
System testing is conducted by QA.
The users can perform the uat in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing,in real or pre production environment it is called as Beta testing.
The two different types of Software Testing are.
1. Static Testing – the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors either through informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
2. Dynamic Testing – where software is tested during the execution.
There are two different types of Dynamic testing namely , White box testing and Black Box Testing
White box testing – also called as structural testing with further classified into two types – Unit Testing and Integrated Testing which are being tested by the developers in the development environment.
Unit Testing is testing each program components and Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation.
Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
Blackbox Testing – also called specification based testing and classified into system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT). The system testing -Quality is the product of the system testing where both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team. The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment.
The User acceptance testing tests the usability of the software. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. The UAT testing is further classified into Alpha and Beta Testing
Alpha testing – when the users perform the UAT in the IT environment
Beta Testing – when the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment
1.Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across?
Two types of testing-static and dynamic
static testing-review of project documents to identify errors by QA.
dynamic testing-mainly categorized into two types white box testing and black box testing .
white box testing-The actual program is tested here.The developers first do the unit testing.
Testing each unit of the program is called unit or component testing.After passing that test the developers
integrate the components and then next step of testing ie, Integration testing.
black box testing-it includes system test and uat.
The system testing is performed by QA using various Software Testing tools, in the test environment.
After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing.
UAT- is classified into alpha test and beta test.
Usability of the system tested in IT environment is called alpha testing.If the usability of the system is tested by
a group of targeted end users it is beta testing.
1. The software testing types can be classified as static testing and dynamic testing. In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting. Whereas In the dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution.
Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing.
The other type of dynamic testing is black box testing and it is also termed as specification-based testing. The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing.
The users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
Software testing can be Classified into two categories-
A) Static Testing – In static testing there is no need to execute the code or no need to touch the application. It is a manual review of the documents to see if there are any errors so that they don’t further become defects in the software. It finds out the causes of failure(defects).
Types of static testing –
1) Informal Review- The testers before preparing the test data they review the documents to find out if there are any errors, if any errors , report them to the author of the document . Example review of FSD/BRD by tester any error in them report it to BA. It is less expensive way .
2) Formal Review- The test lead (moderator) assigns roles and responsibilities, prepares rules and checklists, monitors and controls , gets updates from testers. Conducts review meeting where the testers need to come prepared. Scribe is the person who documents the happenings in the meeting. In the meeting , errors are discussed with possible solutions, if they cannot find solutions then they do a follow up with the client, Developers, BA . At the end review report needs to be created and submitted to the test lead.
3) Walkthrough- The objective of walkthrough is to give the project introduction and identity the errors. It can be done by the Sr. QA, test lead or the author of the document.
B) Dynamic testing
Dynamic testing is the execution of the software. It can be classified into white box testing( you need to have a programming knowledge, done by the developers. It is also called structural or glass box testing. (unit testing, integration testing) ); black box testing (you don’t need to know programming to conduct black box testing. It is done by the QA)(system testing and UAT)); grey box testing ( similar to black box testing but you need to know some kind of programming. It is not very widely used).
Unit testing – Each and every program needs to be tested.
Integration Testing- Testing to see if all the programs are integrated properly. If not then they can become defects in the software.
System Testing-It is done by the QA. In system testing the testers do both the functional and. NOn functional testing. To identify defects and verify the software compliance with client requirements.
UAT- The users test the software in the IT environment. It is called alpha testing. The users test the software in the client environment. It is called beta testing.
Software testing is done at different levels of the project development life cycles. It can be done manually or by using automation tools depending on the project scenario. Software testing is broadly classified as Static Testing and Dynamic testing.
1. Static testing — In static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walk-through meeting. Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project. It is an inexpensive way of testing and the benefits depend on the software tester. Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator (a test lead can play the role of moderator). The QA analysts review the software project documents assigned, before the review meeting. During the review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe (a role assigned to one of the tester during review meeting) documents the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
2.Dynamic testing— Here the software is tested during the execution. It is mainly classified into White box testing and Black box testing.
a) White box testing is done by developers. It includes:
Unit or Component testing – testing each program component in isolation
Integration testing – test the interfaces between the program components
b) Black box testing is done by QA and end users. It includes:
System testing and UAT.
UAT is of two types,
Alpha testing – testing done in the IT company environment
Beta testing – testing done in the real environment at customer site
There are variety of software testing types to test the various features of software chosen based on the project scenario. This article covers the classification of software testing – static and dynamic, white box and black box testing, Unit/component testing, integration testing, system testing, user acceptance testing, Apha and Beta testing.
Software testing is classified into two types as static and dynamic testing. Static testing is at the document level in the form of reviews, inspections, walkthroughs to reduce the errors in the initial phases. This testing is done by QA lead and QA analyst.
Dynamic testing is performed on the software at the execution level. this testing is classified as white box testing and black box testing. White box testing is done by developers. Unit and integration testing comes under white box testing. Unit testing can be done at the individual programs and once all the coding integrated then integration testing will be performed.
System testing and UAT comes under Black box testing and it is done by the QA team.
System testing is to test the functional and non-functional characteristics on the software and after the System testing, UAT is done by the users. UAT is categorized as alpha and beta testing where alpha testing is done in the IT environment and beta
should be done in real time.
In Testing World Testing has been divided in two categories and then sub categories on the basis of their usage and importance Each type of testing has its own features, advantages, and disadvantages as well..
Two Type of testing
1. Static Testing:- Review docs of project to identify errors. sub categorized in the following
a) Formal Testing
b) Informal Testing
c) Walkthrough
2. Dynamic Testing: Execute Software . Again categorized in 2 type of testing
A) Automation Testing: Automation testing is th process of testing the software using an automation tool to find defects.
In this process, excuting the test scripts and generality the results are performed automatically by Automation tools.
Some of the famous tools are: HP QTP/UFT, Selenium, Load Runner, IBM Rational Functional Tester, Skilltest,
Testcomplete, Winrunner, WATIR.
B) Manual Testing: it is the process of testing the software manually to find the defects.
Types of Manual Testing
1. White Box Testing:
a) Unit Testing (Functional type Testing) Done by Developers test each program independently.
b) Integration Testing (Functional type testing) Test interface between Programs.
2. Black Box Testing: There are 2 types of Black Box Testing
2.1) SYSTEM TESTING
a) Smoke Testing (Functional Type Testing)
b) Sanity Testing (Functional Type Testing)
c) Retesting (Non Functional Type Testing)
d) Regression Testing (Functional Type Testing)
e) Exploratory Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
f) Performance Testing (Functional Type Testing)
g) Load Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
h) Volume Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
i) Stress Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
j) Soak Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
k) Browser Capability Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
l) Cross Browser Testing
m) Interface Testing/ External Interface (Functional Type Testing)
n) Security Testing (Non Functional Type Testing)
o) High Availability testing
p) Install Testing
2.2) UAT (User Acceptance Testing)
a) Alpha ( done in IT Environment)
b) Beta (Functional Type Testing) testing done in real environment by real users.
STATIC and DYNAMIC
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing. In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors.
WHITEBOX and BLACKBOX
Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing.
White box;;
The two types of white box testing are unit testing and integration testing. The white box testing is also called as structural testing. Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components by developers.
Black box;;
The other type of dynamic testing is black box testing and it is also termed as specification-based testing. The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testingmby an independent team of QA analysts
The system testing is performed using various different Software Testing tools, in the test environment. After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
ALPHA and BETA
The users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Types of Testing
Static Testing – During this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing – In Dynamic Testing the software is tested during execution. Dynamic is classified into 2 types – White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into system and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by users with help of instructions or assistance by QA’s or business analysts.

1. Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
Static testing – software project documents reviewed to identify errors
Dynamic testing – software is tested during execution
Sub-categories of Dynamic Testing:
White box testing (AKA structural testing) – includes unit testing and integration testing; conducted using tools in the development environment
-Unit (component) testing = testing each program in isolation
-Integration testing = testing interfaces between program components
Black box testing (AKA specification based testing)– includes system testing and user acceptance testing(UAT); conducted to establish quality of software

-User acceptance testing (UAT) – testing the usability of the software’
–Alpha testing = UAT testing in which users perform the UAT in IT environment
–Beta testing = UAT testing in which software is tested by users in real or pre-production environment
Software Testing is divided into two types:
Static Testing- Reviewing the project documents. Review can be formal, informal or walkthrough meeting.
Dynamic Testing- Software is tested during the execution. It is again divided into White box and Black box testing.
White box Testing is divided into Unit Testing and Integration testing which is done by the developers.
In Unit testing developers test each program independently. It is also called as Component testing and Module testing.
In integration testing developers test the interface between the program.
Black box Testing is divided into system testing and User acceptance testing.
system testing is done by QA.
UAT is done by the users. It is divided into Alpha testing and Beta testing.

Dynamic testing:It is divided into White box testing and Black box testing.
White box testing is done by developers. It is to test the technical perspective of the requirement/checking codes.It has unit or component testing(testing the units separately in each phase of the development) and integration testing(testing when the units or different interfaces are integrated).
Black box testing is done by QA and end users. It has system testing and UAT. It is to test the functionality of the requirement.
UAT has two types, Alpha testing(testing done at the developer site) and Beta testing(testing done in the real environment,UAT ,by the customer).
Functional testing:
– Unit testing
-Integration testing
-System testing
-Sanity testing
-Smoke testing
-Interface testing
-Regression testing
-Beta/Acceptance testing
Software testing is classified as static and dynamic testing.in static testing documents are reviewed to identify the errors it can be informal,formal inspection.and dynamic testing we have 2 types white box and black box testing.white box testing is developed by developers logically and it has 2 types of testing,unit testing is the seperate parts of testing and integration testing performed as the group testing,in black box testing we do have system testing and UA testing and user acceptance testing will do alpha testing and beeta testing
1.Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
Software testing can be Classified into two categories-
A) Static Testing – In static testing there is no need to execute the code or no need to touch the application. It is a manual review of the documents to see if there are any errors so that they don’t further become defects in the software.
Types of static testing –
1) Informal Review- Before preparing the test data, the testers review the documents to find out if there are any errors, if any errors , report them to the author of the document . Example review of FSD/BRD by tester any error in them report it to BA. It is less expensive way .
2) Formal Review- The test lead (moderator) assigns roles and responsibilities, prepares rules and checklists, monitors and controls, gets updates from testers. Conducts review meeting where the testers need to come prepared.
3) Walkthrough- The objective of walkthrough is to give the project introduction and identity the errors. It can be done by the Sr. QA, test lead or the author of the document.
B. Dynamic Testing -Here, the software is executed in the testing. It is further classified into White box testing and Black box Testing.
1. White box testing – Here, programs are visible, so done by developers. It includes:
Unit or Component Testing – Testing each program component individually.
Integration Testing – testing the interfaces between the program components
2. Black box testing- Here programs are not visible, so it is done by QA and end users. It includes:
System testing and UAT.
System testing is to test the functional and non-functional characteristics on the software.
UAT is of two types,
Alpha testing – testing done in the IT company environment
Beta testing – testing done in the real environment at customer site
Software Testing can be done manual or automation. The different types of software testing can be classified as Static and Dynamic testing.
Static Testing- the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors.
Dynamic Testing- Software is tested during execution. It can be either white box or black box testing.
There are 2 types of white box testing : Unit Testing and Integration Testing.
Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation.
Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
White box called as structural testing whereas Black box called as specification based testing.
Under the black box testing the System testing and User acceptance testing is done.
Users can preform user acceptance testing in IT environment and that is the Alpha Testing.
When the software is tested by the users in real or pre-production environment then it is called Beta Testing.
Software testing can be classified into Static and Dynamic Testing
Static testing involves Formal,Informal and walkthrough.
Dynamic testing involves whitebox and blackbox testing.
White box involves unit/component and integration testing whereas Blackbox testing involves System testing and UAT. UAT involves Alpha testing and Beta testing.
There are two types of testing and two methods of testing
Types:
1. White Box – This is done by the developer themselves which consists of two things
a. Unit testing – Where all modules are tested independently in isolation
b. Integration testing – Integration between multiple modules is tested
2. Black Box testing – This done by QA and users and consists of two things
a. System testing – This is done by the QA where all functional and non functional items are tested .
b. UAT – this is done by the user to test everything passed by QA.
Methods :
1. Static – where documents are reviewed and errors identified
2. – Dynamic – where software is executed and errors are identified which can be done in 2 way
a. Manual – This is testing done manually by QA by executing each step
b. Automated – This is where software is run by a tool or script and errors are identified.
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.

1.Static and Dynamic are two types classification of software testing.
In Static testing we will review project doc done by QA.
In Dynamic testing we execute software and tested.Futher classified into whitebox and Blackbox testing
whitebox testing divided another two type of testing unit and integration testing both are done by developers.
Blackbox testing divided another two type of system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) done by QA and UAT by users.
UAT this is further divided into
Alpa testing: Users do the testing in the IT environment.
Beta Testing: Users do the testing in the real or Pre-production environment.
Blackbox Testing
Black box testing is a testing technique that ignores the internal mechanism of the system and focuses on the output generated against any input and execution of the system. It is also called functional testing.
White box : it “s divided another two type of testing unit testing or integration testing both are using the development environment .
Black box ; it is divided into system testing or user acceptance testing (UAT) ,the independent team test the system either functional or nonfunctional by QA,now user test the usability of s\w testing tools user can perform the UAT in IT environment it;s
called ALPHA tasting after that s\w tested by user in real or production environment it;s called BETA testing.
Software testing is divided into : Static and Dynamic Testing.
In static testing, documents are reviewed to identify errors. It is an expensive way of testing as it involves many types of reviews such as informal, formal, technical, walk through.
Dynamic testing involves testing of software during execution. It can be White Box testing or Black box testing.
Types of White Box testing are : Unit testing and Integration Testing.
Types of Black box testing: System testing and User acceptance testing.
1. Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
The software testing types are classified as static testing and dynamic testing. In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. In the dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing. The two types of white box testing are unit testing and integration testing. The other type of dynamic testing is black box testing, and the types of black box testing are system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT).
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.?
Software testing should be a well-organized process performed by the experts using the best suitable test approaches with specific objectives at each level and achieve the desirable results.
testing levels techniques:
-Static Testing Techniques
-Dynamic Testing Techniques:
Unit Testing: Under Unit Testing, individual units or modules are tested by the developers. It involves testing of source code by developers.
Integration Testing: Individual modules are grouped together and tested by the developers. The purpose is to determine what modules are working as expected once they are integrated.
System Testing: System Testing is performed on the whole system by checking whether the system or application meets the requirement specification document.
-UAT testing.
Static Testing – During this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing – In Dynamic Testing the software is tested during execution. Dynamic is classified into 2 types – White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into system and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by users with help of instructions or assistance by QAs or business analysts.
Software testing is broadly divided into two categories: Static and dynamic testing. Static testing are further divided into 3 types 1. informal review 2. formal or technical review 3. walk-through. The dynamic testing is divided into 2 categories: white box testing and black box testing. White box testing divided into unit or component testing and integration testing. Black box testing is divided into system testing and user acceptance testing . UAT us further divided into alpha and beta testing.
Static testing is a basic review for identification of the error and also conducted to understand the project. Informal review can be conducted by QAs at any time of the project and no formal documentation is needed. Formal or technical review is own or planned by the team leader and provides documents, roles and QAs conduct review, formal documentation is done, scribe documents review document and submit to team leader. The walk through is a simple explanation of the project whenever any change occur or any new testers are in by project leader, senior QA etc.
Dynamic testing is done both developer and QA levels. White box testing are conducted by developers in the development environment. Unit or component testing are done to identify defect in each components of the software and integration testing is done to check the interfaces between the components. Whereas black box testing conducted by the QAs and in both functional and non- functional features of the software are tested under system testing. UAT are conducted by the end users and may be assisted by the QAs, and if conducted withing IT environment called alpha testing and if it is done in real life scenario, called beta testing.
Static Testing – During this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing – In Dynamic Testing the software is tested during execution.
Dynamic is classified into 2 types – White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into system and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by users with help of instructions or assistance by QA or business analysts.
Unit Testing-Testing of an individual software component or module is termed as Unit Testing. It focus on smallest unit of software design It is done by programmers. Unit testing comes under White box testing in dynamic testing.
Integration testing- is a level of software testing where individual units are combined and tested as a group. Purpose of this testing is to expose faults in the interaction between integrated units.
User Acceptance Testing- An acceptance test is performed by client to verify whether the end to end the flow of the system is as per the business requirement. There are two types of testing in UAT that are Alpha Testing and Beta Testing.
Static testing can be done in three ways Informal, Formal/inspection and Walk through.
Informal and formal identify errors and walk through project info identify errors.
Dynamic testing; white box testing: unit testing and integration testing, black box testing: system testing and UAT (alpha testing and Beta testing)
Software testing done by Manual testing or Automation testing.
Software testing types are Static testing and Dynamic testing.
In Static testing, software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be 1) Informal review which is conducted by QA analyst at anytime during project and its an inexpensive. 2) Formal review or Inspection or Technical review, which is planned and controlled by the moderator. 3) Review during walk through meeting .
In Dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing there is White box testing and Black box testing. White box testing has two types 1.Unit testing or the component testing and 2. Integration testing. In Unit testing each program is tested individually. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between different programs.
Black box testing types are 1.System testing and 2.User Acceptance Testing (UAT) .
1. The system testing is conducted by QA team to establish the quality of the software. In this testing both functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested.
2.After the system testing, users tests the usability of the software in UAT. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. In Alpha testing, users perform the UAT in IT environment . If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it is called as Beta testing.
Testing- Identify the defects in the software and verify the compliance of the software with clients requirement.
Static and Dynamic are the main parts of the testing.
In Dynamic testing software is tested during execution. It further classified in to 2 types which are blackbox testing,done by the QA and white box testing which is done by the developers.
Black box testing classified in to system testing,which checks for Functional and non functional error and UAT is done by the real time users which further divided in to Alpha and Beta testing.
Software testing types:
1. Static testing: It is the review of project documents to identify errors. Techniques that can be used are informal review, formal review/ inspection, technical review, or a review during the walkthrough meeting.
2. Dynamic testing: It is the software testing done during the execution. It can be further classified into White box testing and Black box testing.
A) White box testing: Also called structural testing, this testing is conducted by the developers during the development stage. (Generally referred to White Box testing as the code of a program is visible to the developers) It is further divided into the following:
– Unit Testing/ Component Testing: Testing of each program in isolation
– Integration Testing: Testing of interfaces between the program components
B) Black box Testing: Also called as specification-based testing. This type of testing is conducted after the developers have finished coding. (Generally referred to black box as the code of the program is not visible to QA team or users). It is further divided into the following:
-System Testing: Conducted by QA team to establish the quality of the software. Both functional and non-functional characteristics are tested.
– User Acceptance Testing: This testing is done by the users after the system testing is over to test the usability of the software. QA team may assist users in the UAT. When users perform the UAT in the IT environment is called Alpha testing and when the software is tested in the real pre-production environment it is called Beta testing.
Name and describe the different types of software testing
a. Static testing: Review and test different test plan, documents and artifacts
b. Dynamic Testing: Testing the diffrent functionalities and behavior of software
c.Unit testing: Testing the code and programming logic of software, done by
developers. It is a white box testing.
d.Integration testing : to check the links and interfaces between different codes. It is
also a white box testing.
e.System testing : To check different functional aspect of software.
f. UAT : To check the compliance of the software by client’s technical team It is of 2 types.
i) Alpha testing- done in IT environment
ii)Beta testing- done in real environment
Different types of Software testing :
1) Static testing 2) Dynamic testig
Static testing : – Varifying the Documentations part. Under the static testing there are Review ,Walkthrough ,inspection
Review:- Whether the Document is complete or not if complete so corrects or not
Example : Requirement Review ,Design Review , Code Review ,Test Plan Review, Test case Review.
Walkthrough :- Its Formal Review
Example : multiple People review .
Inspection :-In this Formal Review All the team members will be involved .
Dynamic Testing :-
Unit Testing
Integrated testing
System testing
UAT testing
Alpha testing
Beta testing .
types of software testing:
Static testing
It is a software testing method that involves examination of the program’s code and its associated documentation but does not require the program to be executed.
it can be done manually.
Dynamic testing
software is tested during the execution
it is further categorized into two types
white box testing
Black box testing
White box testing is a method of software testing that tests on working of an application
unit/component testing is that tests each program independently.
integration testing is tests links between the programs.
Black box testing examines the functionality of an application without involving on workings of application.
System testing is to test the fully integrated software
User acceptance testing this is when the actual users test the software to see if it is able to carry out the required tasks.
alpha testing is done in IT environment.
Beta testing is done on real environment.
Software testing is classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
1) Static testing: In this testing the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal, formal or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting project. It is an inexpensive way of testing.
2) Dynamic testing: In this testing software is tested during the execution. It has two types white box testing and black box testing.
white box testing has two types unit testing and integration testing.
– Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation. – Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components.
Black box testing has two types: System testing and User Acceptance Testing.
– In system testing Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team.
– In User acceptance testing users can test the usability of the software. Again it has two types: Alpha testing and Beta testing.
– Alpha testing: Users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing.
– Beta testing: If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.

Hello,
Nice one, Best place to learn new things about software testing
There are two types of Software testing:
1: Static testing- The software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. It can be informal review, formal review, technical review, or walkthrough meeting.
2: Dynamic testing- The different functionalities and behavior of software are teste during the execution. It is divided into two types of testing:
A: White box testing:
a). Unit Testing : Also known as Component testing wherein each program component is tested in isolation units/modules.
b). Integration testing: Individual modules are grouped together and tested. This determines the integration of various modules once grouped.
B: Black Box Testing: Also known as specification based testing.
a).System Testing: It is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to
establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional
characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team.
b). UAT: users can test the usability of the software.
i: Alpha Testing : UAT in IT environment
ii. Beta Testing : UAT in real time environment.

1. Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
The two different types of testing are static testing and dynamic testing.
Static testing may or not require documentation and may require less documentation.
Static testing is classifed into below:
a) Informal review b) technical review c) walkthrough meeting, Inspection
Dyanmic testing: This type of testing is classifed as below.
a) Unit testing: It is basically testing individual modules at a time. This testing is mainly done by the developers. Unit testing can also be called as White box testing or structural testing, which means only the developers will know the inside code structure.
b) Integration testing: is a testing where two modules are integrated together and tested. This is testing is done by the developers. This is also called as white box testing.
c) System testing : is to check if the overall system is working as expected. This testing is by the QA with the assistance of the developers. This kind of testing is called as Blackbox testing of specification based testing, where QA need not have to know the coding structure.
d) Acceptance testing : Acceptance testing is done by the clients to make sure that the software is designed and works based on their requirements. There are two kinds of acceptance testing viz., Alpha testing and Beta testing (Alpha testing: the testing is done in the IT environment / Beta Testing: this testing is done byt users in the real or pre-production environment). Acceptance testing is also called as UAT testing.
software testing is doing to minimize risks these are 2 types static testing and dynamic testing.
static testing: the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors, in this 3 types informal, formal, walkthrough.
informal review : we can check any document no monitoring.
formal review : the team leader act like a moderator, he can assign the different tasks for testers.
walkthrough: will give a introduction to new testers its nothing but a walkthrough.
Dynamic testing: we will test the software, execute the code.
its 2 types ; white box testing , black box testing
white box testing: this process called as structural testing, these are unit testing and integration testing.
unit testing: testing the individual components of the code.
integration testing; testing the integrated software.
black box testing : this process called as specification based testing, these are system testing and UAT
system testing : the system testing is done by QA.
UAT: users can test the usability of the software in user acceptance testing.
the users can perform the UAT in it environment and it is called as alpha testing.
if the software is tested by the users in the real environment then it can be called as beta testing
software testing divided into two type 1. Static testing 2. dynamic testing
In Static testing, documents are reviewed to identify the defects. The review can be a formal or informal or technical review, the informal review is done by QA Analyst at any time in the project. The formal or technical review is done by Moderator (test lead).
In Dynamic testing, software is done during execution. Dynamic testing classified into 1. white box testing 2.black box testing
white box testing is also called as structural testing.They are two type 1. integration testing is used to rest interface between components 2.unit testing or component testing is used to test each program in isolation.
developers are used white box testing tools during development environment.
Another type dynamic testing is black box testing .it is also called as specification-based testing.
Black box testing again classified in to
1.User Acceptance Testing(UAT)
2.System testing
System testing on software and both functional and nonfunctional testing id done by QA team.
system testing is performed in the testing environment by using various tools
After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing. The users perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Check your understanding:
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
Static Testing: Review of project documents
The software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
Dynamic Testing: software tested
Software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing is classified as:
White box testing – programs
Black box testing – no programs
The two types of white box testing are unit or component testing and integration testing. The white box testing is also called as structural testing.
The other type of dynamic testing is black box testing, and it is also termed as specification-based testing. The system testing and User Acceptance Testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing.
The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team. The system testing is performed using various Software Testing tools, in the test environment.
The users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing (UAT). The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. The users can perform the UAT in IT environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment, then it can be called as Beta testing.
Software testing can be done manually or using automation tools. It is broadly classified as Static and dynamic testing.
1. Static Testing: The software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
2. Dynamic testing: In the dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. Types of Dynamic testing.
White box testing : It is done by the developer using tools in development environment. Types:
Unit testing: Also called component testing is testing each program component in isolation.
Integration testing: It tests the interfaces between the program components.
Black Box Testing: It is also termed as specification-based testing. Types:
System testing: The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to
establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are
tested by the QA team.
User acceptance testing (UAT): After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User
acceptance testing. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT. The users can perform the UAT in IT
environment and it is called as Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production
environment then it can be called as Beta testing.
Software Testing can be done Manually or with the use of Automation Tools .It is classified into Static Testing and Dynamic Testing.
1.Static Testing-The software project documents are reviewed to identify errors. The review can be informal review ,formal review or inspection ,technical review or review through a walkthrough meeting.
Informal Review-Inexpensive way of testing and could be conducted anytime during the project by the QA analyst.
Formal Review-Planned and controlled testing by the moderator.
Scribe-A role assigned to one of the testers to document the discussion.
2.Dynamic Testing-Software is tested during the execution. Types of Dynamic testing
-White box Testing :The developers conduct white box testing using tools in the development environment
Unit Testing-It tests each program component in isolation hence it is also known as component testing
Integration Testing-It tests interfaces between the program components
-Black box Testing:
System Testing-Testing conducted by an independent team of QA analyst to establish quality of the software.
User Acceptance Testing-After the system testing users can test the usability of the software.
-Alpha testing-The users can perform the user acceptance testing in an IT environment
-Beta testing-If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment
Software Testing Classification
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing. In the static testing, the software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be an informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during a walkthrough meeting. Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project. Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the moderator (a test lead can play the role of the moderator).
In dynamic testing, the software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black-box testing. The two types of white box testing are unit testing and integration testing. The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing. After the system testing, users can test the usability of the software in User acceptance testing (UAT). The users can perform the UAT in the IT environment and it is called Alpha testing. If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called Beta testing. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
The popular SDLC models that follow sequential processes are waterfall model, V model etc. waterfall model is an old and traditional model as the name suggests. In the V-Model testing happen in parallel way. Both functional and none functional testing has to be done.
In the verification static testing takes place and the technique of static testing is informal review, formal review, and walk through. At the validation side acceptance testing, system testing, integration testing and unit testing.
Different type of software testing that is static testing and dynamic testing. Static testing is to review all the document related project to identify any error. There are three technique of static testing informal review—requirements review, design review, code review. inspection, -as a team multiple people review document. Walkthrough. Dynamic testing, unit testing, integration testing, system testing, UAT testing.
Software testing can be done in both manually and automatically. But through entire STLC, it can be divided into 2 categories:
Static Testing: during this testing, documents are reviewed informally, or formally through meetings to identify errors.
Dynamic Testing : In this testing type, the software is tested during execution. Dynamic is classified into 2 types : White-Box and Black Box Testing. White-box testing is done by developers to check individual components (unit testing) as well as test the interface between programs (integration testing). Black-Box testing is done by the QA team. It is classified into System Testing and UAT. System testing checks for functional and nonfunctional error, and UAT is testing the software usability by the end users assisted by QA or business analysts.
1. Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
While developing a software, the software must be tested under different levels. The software testing can either manual
testing or automation testing. The manual testing is classified as a Static and Dynamic testing.
Static testing, testing the project related documents in the form of review, walkthrough and inspection.
The review can be formal and informal. During the project the informal review can be conduct by the QA analyst. Whereas
formal review or inspection can be conduct by the test lead
Dynamic testing, testing the actual software using techniques like white box testing and black box testing.
compound(unit) testing, integration testing these two techniques comes under white box testing. The system testing and
user acceptance testing (UAT) comes under black box testing. Under UAT, whenever the user performs software testing in IT
environment it is called Alpha testing, whenever the user performs software testing in real and production environment it is
called Beta testing.
Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across.
Static testing- the software project testing design documents are reviewed to identify the errors.
Dynamic testing-testing of the dynamic behavior of code. Testing is done during the execution phase.
White Box testing- is a software testing technique in which internal structure, design and coding of software are tested to verify flow of input-output and to improve design, usability and security
Black Box testing- is a method of software testing that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings.
Unit/Component testing-the testing of each program component in isolation.
Integration testing- to test the interfaces between the program components.
System testing- testing conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. Both functional and non-functional characteristics of the software. Various testing tools are used during this form of testing.
User Acceptance Testing(UAT)- this testing is done after the system testing has been completed. QA analyst may assist users during this testing. This test can be completed in the IT environment called Alpha testing or by users in the real environment can test which is called Beta testing.
Software testing can be done Manually or by test Automation. Testing can be classified into two types: 1. Static testing and 2. Dynamic testing.
Static testing is related to reviewing the requirements and conducting the walk through and making sure the documentation is correct.
Dynamic testing is done while executing the software. It can be done by Black box testing and White box testing methods.
Black box testing is done when the internal functionality is unknown but testing the UI is working according to the requirements.
White box testing is done on the internal functions using different methods like Unit testing and Integration Testing.
Black box testing is done by System testing and User acceptance testing.

software testing can be broadly classified in to static testing and dynamic testing.
in static testing software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors .static testing can be informal review,
formal review, technical review or review during walk-through meetings. informal review can be done by qa analyst at any time during the project. formal review planned and controlled by moderator.QA analyst review the software project documents assigned before the review meeting .during the review meeting errors are discussed and scribe documents discussion. reviewers submit review report to the moderator at the end of the meeting.
in dynamic testing software is tested during the execution.
dynamic testing can be either white box or black box testing,
white box testing is 2 types. unit testing and integration testing.
unit testing: testing each program component individually
integration testing: testing link between the program components.
white box testing is conducted by developer in development environment.
black box testing can be system testing and user acceptance testing
alpha testing: user can perform UAT in IT environment
beta testing: UAT is performed in real or pre production environment.
There are many different types of software testing. In static testing, all the project documents will be reviewed to identify errors. Dynamic testing is tested during execution of software. It can be either white box or black box testing. Unit testing and integration testing are white box testing or structural testing. Unit testing tests each program component independently and integration testing tests the interfaces between program components. The developers will do white box testing. QA testers and users will do black box testing or specification-based testing. System testing is done by QA to test the functional and nonfunctional characteristics of software. Alpha testing is done in IT environment and beta testing is done in real environment. UAT testing is done by the users to see if software meets their requirements.
1. Name and describe the different types of software testing that you might have come across?
The software testing types can be broadly classified as static testing and dynamic testing.
static testing-In this software project documents are reviewed to identify the errors. The review can be informal review, formal review or inspection, technical review, or a review during walkthrough meeting.
Informal review can be conducted by a QA analyst anytime during the project.
Formal review or inspection is planned and controlled by the
Review meeting, errors are discussed, scribe (a role assigned to one of the tester during review meeting) documents the discussion. The reviewers submit review report to moderator at the end of review meeting.
Dynamic testing, – In this software is tested during the execution. Dynamic testing can be either white box testing or black box testing.
white box testing: are unit testing and integration testing. The white box testing is also called as structural testing.
1. Unit testing or the component testing is testing each program component in isolation.
2. Integration testing is to test the interfaces between the program components. The developers conduct the white box testing using tools in the development environment.
Back box testing and it is also termed as specification-based testing. The system testing and user acceptance testing (UAT) are classified under the black box testing.
1.. system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of the software. Both the functional and non-functional characteristics of the software are tested by the QA team. The system testing is performed using various Software Testing tools, in the test environment.

Dynamic testing: In dynamic testing, software is tested during the execution. It can be either White box testing or Black box testing.
White box testing: This is a form of application testing that provides the tester with complete knowledge of the application being tested, including access to source code and design documents. The two types of white box testing are unit or component testing and integration testing.
Black box testing: This is a software testing method in which the functionalities of software applications are tested without having knowledge of internal code structure, implementation details and internal paths.
Unit testing: It is a technique of testing each small unit or program independently. It is a testing method using which every independent module is tested to determine if there is an issue by the developer.
Integration testing: In this testing, all the individual software modules are combined and tested as a group or unit.
The system testing and user acceptance testing are classified under the black box testing.
System testing: The system testing on the software is conducted by an independent team of QA analysts to establish the quality of software. Both the functional and nonfunctional characteristics of the software are tested.
User Acceptance Testing: After the system testing, the users can test the usability of the software. It is the last phase of the software testing process. The QA analysts may assist the users in the UAT.
Alpha testing: The users can perform the UAT in IT environment is called alpha testing.
Beta testing: If the software is tested by the users in the real or pre-production environment then it can be called beta testing.
