General type of software testing
    1. Functional testing

    Functional testing helps check whether each software feature functions according to requirements. Test data, basically, matches the ability described in specifications. Thus, we can find out whether the software breaks tasks that are originally intended to and correct weaknesses again.

     

    This testing method has pros and cons.

     

    The advantage includes the fact that this method helps simulate the use of actual products within close to real user conditions. Some common errors in testing such software are excessive testing risks and skipping logical errors by maintaining functionality.

     

    Security testing.

    An important stage to prepare efficient and working software. There are all the tools needed to test system resistance to hacker attacks, viruses, unauthorized access to confidential user data, and the like.

     

    Interoperability testing

    Interoperability testing comes quite practically during technology development and network services. This helps to improve and prevent software conflicts between product versions or basic components that operate simultaneously.

     

    1. Non-functional testing

    Non-functional testing helps undergo system criteria outside the functional scope. These test results are usually assessed and measured with specific values.

     

    For example, performance under various charges uses for the end users, system scalability levels, grow traffic or handling incoming information, and system capabilities to recover, make a backup on time or migrate to other platforms.

     

    Performance testing & load

    This is done to collect application performance indicators or software at the peak load.

     

    Critical conditions are made for systems to simulate emergency operations with the number of users or maximum information flowing at once. This test indicates whether the software is able to survive with stress load requirements.

     

     

    System performance analysis In conditions of increasing the volume of data in the database refers to volume testing. This helps check whether the software can adjust the value of accumulation without performance losses.

     

    In the process of developing, improving, or updating software, new features are added or existing ones are increased.

     

    But because the software system is a complex mechanism consisting of interconnected parts, changes in one of them can affect individual components and overall performance.

     

    There are also human factors when in the process of coding the developer can make mistakes or lose several code elements.

     

    To minimize mistakes and release high-quality IT products, testing changes are also applied.

     

    This type of test involves a series of tests at all major stages of development and the results is very important to be analyzed immediately before the application release.

    1. Regression testing

    Regression testing in software engineering is used to find errors in the previously agreed parts of the source code. It often happens that changes in certain parts of the software can negatively affect the entire performance that leads to regressive errors.

     

    Regressive examination can be done manually and automatically, with special software assistance and based on regular schedules or at certain stages of development.

     

    The method of testing this software is great in this case helps improve the quality of the final product with the elimination of deeper functional errors requires less time to verify and configure testing.

     

    1. Structural testing

    Structural testing is used to undergo software logic and its main components. Here, the study of subsequent software actions based on different input data lies in the core, which is also considered testing routes.

     

    To choose the underlying test, one must take into account the accounts criteria of any operating execution of each program and testing of the algorithm node in the value of "correct" or "wrong" or in other conditions.

     

    If all algorithmic routes are different and tested, the purpose of this special procedure is considered to be achieved. The more complex systems that you tested, the more difficult to cover all the variations of the algorithm route.

     

    This testing method efficiently helps detect and improve damaged code and many potential mistakes. However, on the flip side, is that developers who conduct the test must know the code they are working on and the test planning approach in more detail.

     

    In Ida, we always focus on the importance of testing at all stages of development.Software testers only use the capacity that has been well tested and simulates the user environment to help you have the best performance products.
