NOW! For every IT organization or development firm
out there, it’s mandatory to contain the overall performance standards of all
their developed programs, by implementing unique and resourceful testing
methodologies. Testing methods refer to test scenarios and test cases; those
are used by testing analysts to ensure the required amount of quality expected
from a software. Software testing services providers use a
diversified range of software testing methodologies based on real time test
analysis and performance evaluation. Most of the time, QA analyst use two-way
testing approach to evaluate the attach bugs and vulnerabilities affecting the
quality.
Types of Testing Methodologies

Functional Testing

System Testing

Non-Functional Testing

Load Testing

Security Testing
Functional testing
help testers to find out the reasons why a software or particular IT program is
showing undesired results. It’s further based on four different test stages;
these are unit testing, Integration testing, system testing and acceptance
testing. Software testing services providers use a unit testing framework to
test each component of every software under testing. Unit testing modules are
based on agile or scrum test-driven-development methodology. System test
involves the quality assurance of entire system by making it free from any
kinds of bugs and vulnerabilities.
Integration testing delivers the test results about how successfully a
software parts are performed when are integrated with each other. Acceptance
testing is the final phase of functional test analysis, making it sure that
project requirement is met as per desired expectation.
Nonfunctional
test analysis based on load testing, security testing, and compatibility
testing. Software testing services
providers use load testing to verify how a software perform when a substantial
amount of load is excreted on it. Load testing helps to maintain the required response
time of a particular software. Security and vulnerability test assessments are
the most important part of non-functional test analysis procedures, which are
used by QA testers to identify every kind of security bugs and vulnerabilities.
Security testing based on physical security assessments, web application
assessments, wireless security test analysis, and ethical hacking. It directly
helps testers to restrict potential intruders to make certain changes in
software settings.
Compatibility
testing is avital part of the nonfunctional testing process. During the
process, Software testing services evaluate the adaptability and responsiveness
of a particular software across diversified nature devices and platforms. This process helps to assess how a particular
software performs under certain conditions and environment. This kind of
testing makes sure that software is entirely compatible with all available
hardware, networks and operating system;so as to gain the attraction of a
maximum number of users.
