Types of Testing: Unit testing : it is a white box testing conducted by developer. It is used to test most micro scale of testing to test particular function or code modules. Unit : Smallest testable piece of software. Unit testing done to show that the unit doesn’t satisfy the functional specification and /or its implemented structure doesn’t match the intended design structure. Smoke Testing : it is used to test or validate the every basic functionality of the system. Or Smoke Testing :  It is an initial type of testing once testing team gets a build needs to do the BVT (Build verification testing) or smoke testing for verifying the major functional component of the build. This has to be done based on the requirement. Functional Testing : It is used to test each and every module is functionally stable entire module is tested by functional testing. Regression Testing : testing to ensure that code changes have not had an adverse effect to the other module or an exist...

Client server application/Web server application Points : It is a network architecture which separates a client from a server. • The client software can send request to a server. • Server includes web server, application server, file server, terminal server and mail server. Ex: if you are browsing an online store, your computer and web browser would be considered a client and the computer, data and application that make up the online store would be considered the server. When your web browser request a particular page from the online store, the server finds all of the information required to display the article in the database, assembles it into a web page and send it back to your web browser for you to look at. Characteristics of a Server : • Passive (slave) • Waits for the request • Upon receipts of request, processes them and then server’s replies. Characteristics of a Client : • Active (master) • Sends request • Waits for and receives server replies Servers are two ...

Types of Testing Techniques : 1. Equivalence Partitioning 2. Boundary Value Analysis 3. Error Guessing. Equivalence Partitioning : Dividing the input domain into classes of data for which test cases can be generated. Equivalence Class : A portion of a component input or output domain for which the component behavior is assumed to be the same from the component specification. Boundary Value Testing : Boundary Testing : Test which focus on the boundary or limit condition of the software begins tested. Boundary Value Analysis : BVA is similar to equivalence partitioning but focus on “cover –cases”, or values that are usually out of range as defined by the specification. This means that if a function expects all values is range of negative 100 to positive 1000, test input would include negative 101 & positive 1001. Error Guessing : In software testing, error guessing is a test method in which test cases used to find bugs in programs are established based on experience i...

Test Matrices: Test matrices accomplish is analyzing the current level of maturity in testing and give a projection on how to go about testing activities by allowing us to set goals and product future trends. Table showed are some examples there are many test matrices.
