Manual Testing Guide - What is Manual Testing , It's  Types  ? 

 Manual testing is the one of the method to test the software / application in IT industry.

Software Testing

                               In IT Industry software Testing is used to test the final product / application

                    software Testing is of TWO types
                      
                             *     MANUAL TESTING    

                             *      AUTOMATION TESTING
                                                                     

  what is Manual Testing ?

                               Manual testing is the one of the method to test the software / application  in IT industry

                              The process of checking the application / product by Manually without using any TOOLS ( NO Tools ).


        Manual testing is further divided into 3 TYPES        

 WHITE BOX TESTING

BLACK BOX TESTING 

GREY BOX TESTING




  what is  WHITE BOX TESTING :

               white Box Testing – WBT

               The process of testing the SOURCE CODE  of an application .

               This Testing is done by DEVELOPERS / Senior TEST ENGINEER ( who is familiar with both development and testing ).

   what is BLACK BOX TESTING :

              Black Box Testing – BBT

              The process of testing the   UI ( User Interface ) of an Application .

               This testing is done by TEST ENGINEERS

                     Black box testing is divided into 2 Two Types they are

  Functional Testing :

             Checking the FUNCTIONALITY of an Application

          They are divide into 3 types

*  UNIT TESTING

*  INTEGRATION TESTING

*  SYSTEM TESTING


Non - Functional Testing

                            Checking the Non Functional Area of an Application /software is called Non functional Testing

 They are many  types

* PERFORMANCE / SCALABILITY TESTING

*  USABILITY TESTING

*  COMPATIBILITY TESTING

 

 Apart from there are many types of testing is involved they are 


  1.   SMOKE TESTING
  2.   STATIC TESTING
  3.  SANITY TESTING
  4.   GORILLA / MONKEY / ADHOC TESTING
  5.   EXPLOTARY TESTING
  6.   REGRESSION TESTING
  7.   RETESTING
  8.   ACCEPTANCE TESTINg

 These types involved In Black box Testing  they are detailed as  below …

 

GREY BOX TESTING :            

                       Grey Box Testing – GBT

                      The process of testing both the UI ( USER INTERFACE ) and Source Code of an Application is called Grey box testing .

                      It is done by a person who is very GOOD in Testing both ( Source code ) and ( UI – User Interface ) both parallel .

                     (SDET) – Software Development Engineer in Test can do GBT (Grey Box Testing )

 

 

Types of  BLACK BOX TESTING :

·         SMOKE TESTING

Ø  Testing the Basic / Important / Critical Features of an Application 

Ø  It is the FIRST ( 1st ) Test after WBT – White Box Testing .

 

·         FUNCTIONAL  TESTING

Ø  Testing Each and Every component Independently and completely with respect to Requirements.

Ø  Checks every thing

 

·         INTEGRATION TESTING

Ø  Testing the Data flow / Data transport between the TWO or MORE Dependent modules .

 

·         SYSTEM TESTING

Ø  Testing a complete application from Starting to End like a REAL USER .

Ø  It is done in the Testing Server which is similar to production server

Ø  Testing server Γ  Testing Takes place 

                                 Γ˜  Production server   Γ  Development /coding Takes Place

 

·         SANITY TESTING

Ø  Testing the NEW FEATURES and Bug/defect of an Application

Ø  These process is called Sanity Testing .

 

·         GORILLA /MONKEY /ADHOC TESTING ;

Ø  Testing an application /software  Randomly WITHOUT FOLLOWING REQUIREMENT .

Ø  HERE we checks NEGATIVE SCENARIO.

Ø  It is BEST suitable for Game Testing

 

·         EXPLORATORY TESTING

Ø  Testing an application by EXPLORING IT THOROUGHLY  when there is NO REQUIREMENT

Ø  No requirement Γ  we do these Testing

 

·         PERFORMANCE TESTING

Ø  Testing the Response Time of an application by Applying load .

Ø  It is divided into many types

Ø    Γ  Load Testing

Ø    Γ  Stress Testing

Ø    Γ  Volume Testing

Ø    Γ  Soak Testing

 

·         COMPATIBILITY TESTING

Ø  Testing an application with DIFFERENT Hardware  and software .

Ø  In different platform/ Environment.

 

·         USABILITY TESTING

Ø  Testing the application is user friendly or not .

·         RETESTING

Ø  Testing the DEFECT FIX of an application/ software .

Ø  It is done after Developer fixes the defects

·         REGRESSION TESTING

Ø  Testing the impact area of an application/software.

Ø  After defect fix is done

Ø  After changes done in an application . 

·         STATIC TESTING

Ø  Testing the Documents is called Static Testing .

Ø  Eg : Requirement , Test scenario ,Test Cases.

 

·         ACCEPTANCE TESTING

Ø  Testing the BUSINESS Scenario of an Application/ software 

Ø  It is done by the CLIENT / Customer

Ø  It is divided into 2 types

 

Ø  ALPHA TESTING  Γ   Before Delivery

 

Ø  BETA TESTING  Γ  After Delivery ( Customer FEED BACK )

 

  Apart from these Software Testing involves in SDLC and STLC and BUG LIFE CYCLE

Γ¨ SDLC – Software Development Life Cycle

Γ¨ STLC – Software Test Life Cycle

Γ¨ BUG LIFE CYCLE – it’s a complete defect cycle
