Types of Software Testing:
- Manual testing
- Automation testing
What is Manual Testing?
Manual testing is the process of testing software manually. Software testers use their excellent skills and knowledge to design, create, and execute tests to check the software for defects.
Manual testing is carried out without writing any code or script. Testers apply their own efforts and operate from a user point of view to ensure software behavior is correct.
What is Automation Testing?
Automation testing is the process of testing a software application by running automated tests for repetitive tasks. There are several test cases which need to be executed multiple times. Instead of writing and executing these tests repeatedly, software testers write codes to automate such test cases.
Test automation is adopted by many organizations as it expedites the testing process and avoids time-consuming and repetitive tasks.
Why is Software Testing necessary?
There are several features in a software application. You must test every feature before it is released. Some features, if not working properly can affect the overall performance of your software. Therefore, testing them becomes crucial.
Here are the key features that need to be tested
Functionality
Functionality is the most important feature of any software product. If your software fails to perform the required functions, it fails its existence. Hence, it is crucial to check every function against its functional requirement.
Our software testers thoroughly test every function and analyze the behavior of your software while performing different functions simultaneously. Any functionality defects are getting corrected immediately and retested until everything is perfectly clear.
Security
Security is one of the key features of the software. If you are accessing some important data through your software, it is imperative that you need all networks so that your data does not fall into the wrong hands.
By attempting fake breaches, we thoroughly check every security parameter for any kind of loopholes. With this, we aim to discover flaws in the security mechanism and rectify them as per what is needed to secure your data. This process is also known as penetration testing.
Compatibility
There are millions of users of software apps around the world. In Washington alone, we have more than 7 million users. These users operate on different kinds of devices, operating systems, servers, and networks. To ensure your software is accessible to everyone, compatibility testing is required.
We run various test cases to check if your software is capable of running on different devices, OSs, servers, and networks. We also check its compatibility with updated versions of different OSs and devices.
Data Integrity
Data integrity is another very important feature of the software. Inaccurate data has the potential to encourage foreign entities and corrupt your entire system. Through our efficient software testing services, we verify if the data in the software database is accurate and can run functions as expected.
Further, we run data tests on all the files, templates, images, etc. This ensures data integrity is maintained effectively.
Performance
How your software application performs under extreme web traffic determines its capacity.It is important for you to know about the limitations of your software before anybody else. This can help you make necessary changes and ensure it has enough capacity.
