FAQ's

• t is a type of non-functional testing.
• Security testing is basically a type ofsoftware testing that’s done to check whether the application or the product is secured or not. It checks to see if the application is vulnerable to attacks, if anyone hack the system or login to the application without any authorization.
• It is a process to determine that an information system protects data and maintains functionality as intended.

• It is a type of non-functional testing.
• It is a type of software testing that test the ability of a system, a network, or a process to continue to function well, when it is changed in size or volume in order to meet a growing need.

• Volume testing” is a term given and described in Glenford Myers’ The Art ofSoftware Testing, 1979. Here’s his definition: “Subjecting the program to heavy volumes of data. The purpose of volume testing is to show that the program cannot handle the volume of data specified in its objectives” – p. 113.
• The purpose of volume testing is to determine system performance with increasing volumes of data in the database.

• It is a type of non-functional testing.
• It involves testing beyond normal operational capacity, often to a breaking point, in order to observe the results.
• It is a form of software testing that is used to determine the stability of a given system.
• It  put  greater emphasis on robustness, availability, and error handling under a heavy load, rather than on what would be considered correct behavior under normal circumstances.
• The goals of such tests may be to ensure the software does not crash in conditions of insufficient computational resources (such as memory or disk space).

Very simply we can put the difference between Volume, Load and stress testing as:

Volume Testing = Large amounts of data
Load Testing = Large amount of users
Stress Testing = Too many users, too much data, too little time and too little room

• It is a type of non-functional testing.
• Recovery testing is done in order to check how fast and better the application can recover after it has gone through any type of crash or hardware failure etc.

• It is a type of non-functional testing.
• Internationalization is a process of designing a software application so that it can be adapted to various languages and regions without any changes.
• Whereas Localization is a process of adapting internationalized software for a specific region or language by adding local specific components and translating text.

Confirmation testing or re-testing:When a test fails because of the defect then that defect is reported and a new version of the software is expected that has had the defect fixed. In this case we need to execute the test again to confirm that whether the defect got actually fixed or not.

This is known as confirmation testing and also known as re-testing. It is important to ensure that the test is executed in exactly the same way it was the first time using the same inputs, data and environments.

The purpose of a regression testing is to verify that modifications in the software or the environment have not caused any unintended adverse side effects and that the system still meets its requirements.

• The structural testing is the testing of the structure of the system or component.
• Structural testing is often referred to as ‘white box’ or ‘glass box’ or ‘clear-box testing’ because in structural testing we are interested in what is happening ‘inside the system/application’.
• In structural testing the testers are required to have the knowledge of the internal implementations of the code. Here the testers require knowledge of how the software is implemented, how it works.

Once a system is deployed it is in service for years and decades. During this time the system and its operational environment is often corrected, changed or extended. Testing that is provided during this phase is called maintenance testing.

Impact analysis is basically analyzing the impact of the changes in the deployed application or product.
