Levels of testing (Week 8)

There are
different levels in a testing  process. Levels of testing include different methodologies which can be used during
the process of software testing. There are two main levels of testing :
functional testing and non-functional testing. One of my
previews posts talks about black-box testing, functional testing
is a type of black-box testing which is based on the specifications of the
software that has to be tested. The software can be tested by providing input
and then the results are examined in order to conform to the functionality
which it was meant for. Functional testing of a software is conducted on a
complete, integrated system to evaluate the system’s compliance with its
specified requirements. 
Functional testing includes five steps : 
Step 1 The
determination of the functionality that the intended application is intended to perform.
Step 2 The
creation of test data based on the specifications of the application.
Step 3 The
output based on the test data and the specifications of the application.
Step 4 The
writing of test scenarios and the execution of test cases.
Step 5 The
comparison of actual and expected results based on the executed test cases.
In order to have an effective testing process
all the above steps have to be followed and applied to the testing
policies of every organization for this reason it will make sure that the
organization maintains the strictest of standards when it comes to software
quality. This part is about testing an application from its non-functional
attributes. Non-functional testing includes testing a software from the
requirements which are nonfunctional.  Performance, Security, User
interface are some requirements examples of non-functional testing. Performance
testing is one important and mandatory testing type in terms of the following: Speed, Capacity, Stability and Scalability. Performance
testing can be either qualitative or quantitative. Security testing includes
testing a software in order to identify any gaps from security.


Security testing should ensure the below list of features: 

Confidentiality, Integrity, Authentication, Availability, Authorization, Non-repudiation, Software
data is secure, Software is according to all security
regulations, Input checking and validation, SQL insertion
attacks, Injection flaws, Session management issues, Cross-site
scripting attacks, Buffer overflows vulnerabilities and Directory
traversal attacks.
The levels of testing are important because in order to meet the functional and technical specifications  we have to follow all the steps and features that I listed above.

Hack More!

I read an article this week about which programming language hackers use (http://www.softwaretestingclub.com/profiles/blogs/which-programming-language-do-hackers-use) and while at first, I didn’t see the relationship between hacking and software testing, I came to realize that they have a good amount of similarities. Thinking more in depth about it, the act of hacking is just finding vulnerabilities in a software or program which is the same objective as QA testers (although the intents may be different).

Something interesting about the article was that when asked, “what programming language do hackers use”, the answer given by an expert hacker Adrian Lamo was totally not what I was expecting. He responded that he does not use a programming language which caught me off-guard because I didn’t think it was even possible to hack / test without the use of a programming language. The most memorable and significant piece of information I got out of this article was when Adrian Lamo further explains his answer by saying that its more important to learn how to read code rather than learning how to code. By learning how to efficiently read code, you can dissect how programmers think, what their tendencies are, and what common mistakes they make which can give you a better idea of what to test.
