Tests
What are the tests? Tests – a collective concept. Depending on the context – it tests and Test Case, and their combination. Speaking of tests, we assume a certain group of Test Case, united on any grounds. Thus, Test Case – a concrete set of actions of beta-tester, while the test – a concept more general.
Classification
Tests can be categorized as follows:
- GUI-testing (testing of graphical user interface). Ie testing interface – screens, buttons, etc. Much of the functionality of software sold, usually through the user interface.
- Functional testing. Implies playback of user actions to solve the problem with the test reaction to these actions.
- Performance Testing. Ie software testing in simulation and real environments.
- Stress tests. Ie testing in extreme conditions (lack of memory, disk space, the simultaneous use of large numbers of users, functioning in a continuous mode, etc.). In this group include tests with a known defect ("conditionally working") equipment.
- Regression testing – re-testing the system after changes are made to verify the correctness of its operation (all tested before being tested again). Usually used in the latter stages ZHTSRPO.
- Production tests (preventative). The aim – to make sure that during operation there has been no deterioration in the system in terms of performance or functionality ("pre-flight test").
- Testing of safety. Performed after the introduction of the system in operation to determine its undiscovered opportunities. The last two are held by the customer during operation of the system.
Performance testing in a real environment, load tests are also carried out and during the acceptance tests.
