Our Approach to Software Testing
Testing Today for a Flawless Tomorrow
Valletta Software Development's detailed and flexible Software Testing strategy combines classic and modern methods to ensure your software is flawless and market-ready.
Integration Testing
Integration Testing is the phase in software testing where individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. The purpose is to detect any inconsistencies between the units that have been successfully tested in the unit testing phase. This type of testing is crucial for identifying issues in the interaction between integrated units.
System Testing
System Testing is a comprehensive testing process that evaluates the complete and fully integrated software product. This type of testing checks whether the system complies with the specified requirements and focuses on identifying defects within the system as a whole, including its interfaces and interactions with external systems.
Acceptance Testing
Acceptance Testing, often the final phase of testing, is conducted to determine whether the system is ready for release. It involves checking if the software meets the business requirements and whether it is acceptable for delivery to the end-user or customer. Acceptance testing can be done by the client, end-users, or testers, depending on the agreement.
Automated Testing
Automated Testing uses software tools to run tests automatically, manage test data, and utilize results to improve software quality. It's highly efficient for repetitive tasks and regression testing, ensuring that recent changes have not adversely affected existing features. Automated testing is essential for continuous integration and delivery pipelines.
Manual Testing
Manual Testing is carried out by human testers who play the role of end-users to ensure the software can perform its intended tasks in real-world scenarios. This method allows for more flexible and exploratory testing compared to automated testing, as testers can adjust their approach in real-time based on their observations and insights.
Smoke Testing
Smoke Testing, also known as "Build Verification Testing", is a preliminary testing process to check whether the critical functionalities of the software are working. It is performed on initial builds to ensure the stability for further more rigorous testing. If a build fails the smoke test, it is considered unstable and is not tested further until the critical issues are fixed.
Ad-hoc Testing
Ad-hoc Testing is an informal and unstructured testing method aimed at identifying defects that were not found through traditional, structured testing methods. It relies on the tester's intuition, experience, and understanding of the application to explore and test the software randomly without following any documented test cases or plans.
Performance Testing
Performance Testing assesses the speed, responsiveness, and stability of a software application under a specific workload. It is critical for ensuring that the application will perform well under its expected usage conditions. This testing helps in identifying bottlenecks and improving the performance of the software.
Regression Testing
Regression Testing is a type of software testing that ensures that recent code changes have not adversely affected existing functionalities of the application. It is a critical step after code modifications, updates, or enhancements to ensure that the existing functionality continues to work as intended.
Usability Testing
Usability Testing focuses on evaluating a software application's user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) from the end user's perspective. The goal is to identify any usability issues, improve the product's ease of use, and ensure that the user interface is intuitive. This testing involves real users performing tasks on the software while observers note any difficulties or issues they encounter.
Security Testing
Security Testing involves evaluating a software application to identify vulnerabilities, threats, and risks that could lead to a breach of information security. The aim is to ensure that the software is secure from external attacks, data theft, or unauthorized access. This type of testing is critical for applications that handle sensitive data or are exposed to a network.
Compatibility Testing
Compatibility Testing assesses how well a software application performs in a particular hardware, software, operating system, or network environment. It is crucial for ensuring that the application works as intended across different user conditions, including various devices, browsers, and network settings.
Exploratory Testing
Exploratory Testing is an approach where testers actively explore the software without predefined test cases or scripts. This method relies heavily on the tester's experience, creativity, and intuition. It is particularly useful for identifying issues that may not be covered by traditional testing methods and for providing rapid feedback to development teams.
Alpha Testing
Alpha Testing is a type of user acceptance testing conducted in the early stages of software development, typically by internal staff or a selected group of users. The purpose is to identify bugs before releasing the product to external testers or the public. It focuses on functional testing, usability testing, and bug fixing.
Beta Testing
Beta Testing is the phase of software testing where the software is distributed to a group of external users for real-world exposure. The goal is to collect feedback from actual users and to identify any issues that were not discovered during earlier testing phases. This phase helps in validating the product’s functionality, reliability, and usability before the final release.
Load Testing
Load Testing is a type of performance testing that examines how the system behaves under a heavy load. It involves testing the software by applying high demand on the system resources to check its response and stability. This test is critical for ensuring that the software can handle high user traffic and does not crash under peak load conditions.
Stress Testing
Stress Testing involves evaluating how a system performs under extreme conditions, such as high traffic or data processing demands, beyond its normal operational capacity. The aim is to identify the breaking point of the application and to ensure that the system fails and recovers gracefully under stressed conditions.
