Usability Testing is a black box testing technique. Usability testing also reveals whether users feel comfortable with your application or Web site according to different parameters – the flow, … Read more
Reliability Testing is about exercising an application so that failures are discovered and removed before the system is deployed. The purpose of reliability testing is to determine product reliability, and to determine whether the software meets the customer’s reliability requirements. According to ANSI, Software Reliability is defined as: the probability of failure-free software operation for a specified period … Read more
Functionality testing is performed to verify that a software application performs and functions correctly according to design specifications. During functionality testing we check the core application functions, text input, menu functions and installation and setup on localized machines, etc. The following is needed to be checked during the functionality testing: Installation and setup on localized machines … Read more
Software Test types are introduced as a means of clearly defining the objective of a certain level for a program or project. A test type is focused on a particular test objective, which could be the testing of the function to be performed by the component or system. The test objective could be to test non-functional quality characteristics, such … Read more

It helps to validate models of the system or software. For an example a tool can check consistency of data objects in a database and can find … Read more
Static analysis tools are generally used by developers as part of the development and component testing process. The key aspect is that the code (or other artefact) is not executed or run but the tool itself is executed, and the source code we are interested in is the input data to the tool. These tools are mostly … Read more
