Software testing is an important aspect of the software development lifecycle. Without proper testing of a product, it is difficult to identify if it is meeting the requirements that have led to its design and development. Also, a product cannot be launched in the market without testing. With software testing training you come to know that there are different methods of software testing that can be adopted. Let’s see here the various methods of testing.

Black-Box Testing:

The method of testing where it is done without having any knowledge about the internal mechanisms of the application is called black-box testing. In this type of testing, the tester is unaware of the system architecture and does not know the program code. In this method, the testers work at the user interface level and check only the outputs by providing inputs. This method is also called functional or specification-based testing. The main advantage of this method of testing is that it clearly separates user’s perspective from that of the developer’s and it is suitable for large code products. It has a disadvantage also because the tester cannot identify error-prone areas as there is no code access.

White-Box Testing:

As a contrast to the black-box testing, white-box testing is the thorough examination of the internal logic and structure of the code. It is also called glass testing or open-box testing. As discussed, to perform testing in this method, a tester has to have access to the code of the program. Tester has to find out that part or unit of the program code which is not working properly and has bugs. Usually, the software developers only do this kind of testing. This method helps in optimizing the code.

Grey-box testing:

Grey-box testing is a testing method wherein the tester has limited access to the code and has limited knowledge of the internal mechanism of the program. This method offers the combined benefits of black-box and white-box testing. In this kind of testing, the testing is performed from the perspective of a user and not the designer.

Static Testing:

In the method of static testing, the code and documentation are examined but the program is not executed. It is done in the early stages of product development during the verification process.

Dynamic Testing:

In the method of dynamic testing, the software product is executed with a number of inputs to compare the outputs with the expected behavior.

Whatever the method of testing is, the result expected is identifying the bugs in the product and minimizing the deviations from the expected behavior.
