Thread: Testing Process & Testing Methodologies

What is test methods & types of test methods?

Note : This is the question asked by a visitor Irfan.I am posting this in proper forum.

There are three methods in Black Box Testing:
1. Usability testing : Generally the black box testing process starts with usability testing. During this testing we are validating whether the application is user friendlyness of build screens. The coverages in this testing are following:
[a]User interface testing : During this coverage we are verifying
a. whether all screens in the application are easy to understand
b. Whether each & every screen is attractive for looking.
c. Whether the application has less no of events to complete task.
[b]Manual Support testing : Whether our application has help documents which are in context sensitive.

2. Funactional Testing : To validate whether our application meets the customer requirements. During this testing we observe below coverages.
[a] Functionality Testing : To validate correctness of every functionality.
[b]Input domain Testing : To validate type & size of every input object
[c]Inter System Testing : To validate Whether our application is coexisting with other applications to share common resources.
[d]comapatability Testing: Whether our application is run on customer expected platforms.
[e]configeration Testing : Whether apllication is running on different technology hardware designs or not?
[f]sanitation Testing : To finding extra functionalities in application w.r.t customer requirements.
[g]parellel Testing: To find strengths & weekness of our application and compare with previous projects or similar products developed by other companies.
[h]Security Testing : To validate whether user is authorised to connect application and whether valid users have permissions to use application.
[i]Recovery Testing: To validate whether application is changing abnormal state to normal state

3. Performance Testing : Testing people are conducting performance testing to estimate speed of processing.
This performance testing is classified into below subtests:
[a]Load testing : The execution of build under customer expected configeration and customer expected load to estimate performance.
[b]Stress testing : The execution of build under customer expected configeration and various load to estimate performance.
[c]Data Volume testing : To estimate peak limit of storage in terms of number of records.
[d]Storage testing : To estimate peak limit of storage in terms of bytes.

I was asked in an interview about this.

As i know, they were asking about white box testing methods.

Because structured testing is white box testing.

correct me if i am wrong...

May be interviewer wants to put up questions on cyclomatric complexity which is part of white box testing, or the interviewer is the developer.

see you use white box technique or not but you should have the knowledge(overview), you should ready for every situation.

Can anybody tell me about How do describe testing process and testing methodologies?

Dear bharathi,

I want to know how you will differentiate "testing methods and testing methodologies?"

Because as I know it's same and even you have answered it earlier.
