Tosca can be described as an instrument for software testing that automates the entire testing process for software applications. Tosca integrates several elements of testing software (test case design and automation, design of test data and generation, as well as analytics) to evaluate GUIs as well as APIs, from a commercial perspective. Instead of making use of scripting to testing automation, Tosca applies an approach to testing that is model-based and builds the model of the application that is being tested. Details about the test application and the logic behind the test cases as well as tests data are saved in separate files and then joined during the time of test execution. If an element within the application under test is changed the technical information is updated within the model centrally. Since test cases originate from this model, the diverse test cases that test for the changed element don’t need to be altered manually to reflect the changes. Now is the time to enroll in tosca training in Hyderabad,KPHB and improve your skills.

Different Types of Software Testing

  Functional

 ✕ Non-functional

Maintenance (Regression
and Maintenance)

         Functional Testing Types Include 

• Unit testing Integration testing
• System testing
• Sanity testing
• Smoke testing
• Interface testing
• Regression testingBeta/Acceptance test

          Non-functional testing types includes
          ♦ Performance Testing
          ♦ Load testing
          ♦ Stress testing
          ♦Volume testing
          ♦ Security testing
          ♦ Compatibility testing
          ♦  Install testing
          ♦  Recovery testing
          ♦ Reliability testing
          ♦ Usability testing
          ♦  Compliance testing
          ♦Localization testing

User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
An acceptance test is performed by the
client and verifies whether the end to end
the flow of the system is as per the business
requirements or not and if it is as per the
needs of the end user. Client accepts the
software only when all the features and
functionalities work as expected.

Functionality Testing Icon
 Testing of all integrated modules to
verify the combined functionality after
integration is termed as Integration
Testing. Modules are typically code
modules, individual applications, client
and server applications on a network,

etc.

Risk Based Testing (RBT)

In Risk Based Testing, the functionalities or requirements are tested based on their priority. Risk-based testing includes testing of highly critical functionality, which has the highest impact on business and in which the probability of failure is very high.

The Risk-based testing is carried out if there is insufficient time available to test entire software and software needs to be implemented on time without any delay. This approach is followed only by the discussion and approval of the client and senior management of the organization.

Unit Testing

Load Testing

Performance Testing

Regression Testing

Testing of an individual software component or module is termed as Unit Testing. It is typically done by the programmer and not by testers, as it requires a detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code.

It is a type of non-functional testing and the objective of Load testing is to check how much of load or maximum workload a system can handle without any performance degradation.

This term is often used interchangeably with ‘stress’ and ‘load’ testing. Performance Testing is done to check whether the system meets the performance requirements. Different performance and load tools are used to do this testing.

 Testing an application as a whole for the modification in any module or functionality is termed as Regression Testing. It is difficult to cover all the system in Regression Testing, so typically automation testing tools are used for these types of testing.

Conclusion

The above – mentioned Software Testing Types are just a part of testing. However, there is still a list of more than 100+ types of testing, but all testing types are not used in all types of projects.

Also, there are alternative definitions or
processes used in different organizations,
but the basic concept is the same
everywhere. These testing types, processes,
and their implementation methods keep
changing as and when the project,
requirements, and scope changes.
