Our testing activities are divided in 4 test types (Types are mentioned by ISTQB for testing) -
Testing Types Description Example
Testing of function Functional tests are based on functions and features (described in documents or understood by the testers) and their interoperability with specific systems, and may be performed at all test levels (e.g. tests for components may be based on a component specification).
  • Functional testing
  • Black Box testing
Testing of non-functional software characteristics The tests required to measure characteristics of systems and software that can be quantified on a varying scale, such as response times for performance testing.
  • Performance testing
  • Load testing
  • Stress testing
  • Usability testing
  • Maintainability testing
  • Reliability testing
  • Portability testing
Testing of software structure/architecture Structural techniques are best used after specification-based techniques, in order to help measure the thoroughness of testing. Through assessment of coverage of a type of structure.
  • White Box testing
  • Component (Unit) testing
  • System testing
  • Acceptance testing
Testing related to changes After a defect is detected and fixed, the software should be retested to confirm that the original defect has been successfully removed.
  • Re-testing
  • Regression testing
