Software Testing Techniques

Overview

Let’s learn about Software Testing Techniques in this tutorial. The main objective of the tutorial is to make you aware of different software testing techniques that are followed by the QA teams in the IT industry.

What is a Software testing technique?

Software testing technique refers to the process followed by testing teams to identify and uncover defects or errors in a Software application Under Test( SUT) to ensure that it meets the requirements and performs as expected. SUT also refers to the complete System Under Test.
Software Testing Techniques are techniques and testing types used to perform and complete testing, find defects, and certify that the application is working as expected.

Software Testing Techniques

There are different software testing techniques available, and they are typically categorized into two main categories:

  • Static Testing Techniques
  • Dynamic Testing Techniques

We will discuss each of the techniques in detail in separate posts.

Sometimes we can also categorize testing based on the involvement of humans.
  • Manual Testing
  • Automated Testing
Manual Testing involves testing the application manually by a human tester, while automated testing uses specialized software testing tools and frameworks to run predefined automated tests and check for defects.

Static Testing Technique

In the Static testing technique, the software application is not executed. The software source code, design algorithms, and documentation are analyzed to uncover defects.

Dynamic Testing Technique

The dynamic testing technique involves the software application being executed by the software test team. Dynamic testing techniques are further divided into two categories. They are:

  • White-box Testing Techniques
  • Black-box Testing Techniques

Effective Software testing depends on the techniques and tools used by the software team to document good test cases, uncover defects in the software application, estimate and measure test efforts, etc. A good test case is a test case that has a high probability of uncovering a defect in the application.
