Software Testing Course

Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application functions as expected. It ensures the identification of defects and validates that the final product meets specified requirements.

Key Objectives of Software Testing:

  • Identify Defects: Detect bugs or issues in the application that could cause unexpected behavior..
  • Ensure Quality: Verify that the software is reliable, efficient, and meets user expectations..
  • Validate Requirements: Confirm that the software performs its intended functions according to the specifications.
  • Improve User Satisfaction: Deliver a smooth and error-free experience to users.

Types of Software Testing:

  • Manual Testing: Involves testers manually executing test cases without automation tools. Examples: Exploratory testing, Usability testing.
  • Automated Testing: Uses automation tools to run predefined test scripts for repetitive tasks. Examples: Selenium, JUnit, TestNG.
  • API Testing validates the functionality, reliability, and security of APIs by sending requests and analyzing responses. For instance, testing a payment API to ensure it processes transactions correctly and returns the expected status codes.
  • Performance Testing: Evaluates the speed, scalability, and stability of an application under various loads. Example: Load testing a website to handle 10,000 simultaneous users or stress testing a server to find its breaking point.

Testing Levels:

  • Unit Testing: Tests individual components or modules.
  • Integration Testing: Checks interactions between integrated modules.
  • System Testing: Verifies the application as a whole
  • Acceptance Testing: Ensures the software is ready for delivery by meeting end-user requirements.

Testing Types Based on Purpose:

  • Functional Testing: Validates the functional aspects of the application (e.g., login, data processing).
  • Performance Testing: Assesses the speed, responsiveness, and stability under various loads.
  • Security Testing: Ensures the application is secure against unauthorized access.
  • Regression Testing: Confirms that new changes don’t break existing functionality.

Automation Testing(Selenium) +
  • Increased Efficiency: Automation testing speeds up the testing process by executing tests automatically, reducing time and effort
    Reusability of Test Scripts: Once test scripts are created, they can be reused across multiple test cases or projects
    Consistent Test Results: Automation ensures that tests are run in exactly the same manner every time, minimizing human errors
    Regression Testing: Automated tests are ideal for regression testing, where the same tests need to be run repeatedly to ensure new changes don’t break existing functionality
