Understanding The Difference Between Unit, Integration and Functional Testing

Week 9 Software Testing Blog

This week i have decided to read Understanding The Difference Between Unit, Integration and Functional Testing by Sushma S.
The article uses a login page as an example to help explain the difference between unit, integration, and functional testing. The reason for this is that a login page is extremely common and usually used in most web applications. It then goes over the cases for each type of testing and they are as follows:

Unit Testing –

Field  length for username and password

input field values should be valid

login button is enabled only after valid values are entered in both fields

Integration Testing –

user sees the welcome message after entering valid values and pushing the login button

users should be navigated to the welcome page or home page after valid entry and clicking login button

Functional Testing –

the expected behavior is checked

welcome message after succesfull login

can an inactivated user login

is there a forgot password link

Unit testing is generally done by the software developer who knows the code well. It is important for finding bugs early on in the development process, and is done before any integration or integration testing occurs. “Unit tests save time and cost, and it is reusable and easy to maintain”. After unit testing comes integration testing. After everything has been tested as a unit then integration testing occurs.
This when the units are put together and tested as a whole. This tests how the system works together and verifies that the behavior is correct. Then there is functional testing. This is a black box technique where the functionality of the system is tested. This basically means that we are testing that the behavior of the application and not the code itself. In order to successfully test an application you need to use all three testing methods. This provides the best test suite where any possible bugs should be found.

Here are some other links that i found usefulL:

Week3: Organizing Tests with xUnit Traits

It is very important that the code you write or look at is well organized because it gives the code reader to break it down and understand it better. It also shows your image as a good coder. The author of the blog explains that for large numbers of tests, needs to be broken down into categories or groups which will provide clarity and insight to testing code. He suggests one way to do it is with xUnit which might also be refer to as TraitAttribute.

The blog explains couple of benefits using traits attributes as organizing tests: first, that traits attributes uses a name and value pair. Second, when using a GUI based test runner like test runner in Visual Studio tests can be sorted according. For tests by traits to run, both key and value of the trait has to be specified on the command line.

V-Model Testing (WEEK 12)

The meaning of V-Model is Verification and Validation model. This model has the shape of V, the V-shape model is a path of executions which is followed in a logical order. Each phase must be completed before the next phase begins.When we have test a product must be planned in parallel with the corresponding phase in V-Model. First is very important to understand the Verification and Validation techniques before we learn about V-Model. Verification testing technique is done without executing any code and Validation testing technique is done by executing the code, Verification is a static analysis technique, Validation is a dynamic analysis technique. Both techniques are par of the V-Model. There are 7 phases that take place in V-Model. Here I’m listing the seven phases of V-Model: Requirement Specification, Preliminary Design, Detailed Design, Coding, Unit Testing, Integration Testing and System Testing. We usually apply V-Model for small to medium sized projects where requirements are clearly defined and fixed. 

This design shows the sequential path of execution process of V-Model.

In this paragraph I’m covering the pros and cons of V-Model. Some of the pros are: Development and progress is very organized. This model works well for smaller and medium sized projects. Another positive factor is easy to manage as each phase of this model. Some of the cons of V-Model are : V-Model doesn’t work for big and complex projects. The V-Model is not suitable if the requirements are not compatible.
