Where exactly the testing comes in to picture?

ÞWhich sort of testing you are expecting?

ÞHow many sorts of testing are there?

Þ There are two sorts of testing….

1.    Un-conventional testing

2.    Conventional testing

1.Un-conventional Testing: -Unconventional testing is a sort of testing done by the quality assurance people, in which they test each and every outcome document right from initial phase of the SDLC (Software development life cycle)

2. Conventional Testing: It is sort of testing done by the test engineers on the application in the testing phase of SDLC.

    

Testing Methodology or Testing techniques:

 There are three methods of testing

                                                          (a) Black-Box Testing

(b) White-Box Testing

(a)  Grey-Box Testing

(a)  Black-Box Testing: If one performs testing only on the functional part of an application with out having any structural knowledge then tat method of testing is known as Black-Box testing, usually the test engineers perform it.

(b)  White-Box Testing: If one performs testing on the structural part of an application then that method of testing is known as white box testing, usually the developers or white box testers perform it.

(c)  Grey-Box Testing: If one performs testing on both the functional part as well as the structural part of an application then that method of testing as known as gray box testing using the test engineers who have structural knowledge will perform gray- box testing.
