Dynamic Testing | Definition ,Techniques and Types

1) Specification-Based Testing Technique:

• • • This is also called Black box testing
    • It does not require for tester to know the implementation details or be able to interpret the inner workings of the code.
    • Mostly done by the QA department.

Types of Specification-Based Testing Technique

1. 1. 1. Equivalence Partitioning
      2. Boundary Value Analysis
      3. Decision Tables
      4. State Transition
      5. Non-Functional Testing

2) Structure-Based Testing Techniques

• • • White box testing or Glass box testing.
    • Tester should know the code development, review and be able to interpret the code.
    • Structure-Based Testing Techniques has two purposes i.e test coverage measurement and structural test case design.
    • Test coverage measures the amount of testing executed by a set of test

Types of Structured-Based Testing Technique

1. 1. 1. Data flow
      2. Symbolic execution etc.
      3. Control flow
      4. Statement coverage
      5. Branch/Decision coverage
      6. Path Coverage

 3) Experience-Based Testing Technique

• • • Experience-Based Testing Technique of executing testing activities with the help of experience gained through several years.
    • As per experience, Tester focuses on the important areas of the software.
    • This testing technique is used for low-risk systems
    • The knowledge and experience of people is used to analyse the test cases
    • This approach may be useful under extreme time pressure
    • Testers validate the software product quality with their past experience of testing the similar type of product in the respective domain.

Types of Experience-Based Testing Technique

1. 1. 1. Error guessing
      2. Exploratory testing

Type of Defects found in Dynamic testing

• • • Functional Defects
    • Non- Functional Defects like performance, usability, etc.

How to choose the right Test Techniques??

Factors need to be considered in selecting the right Testing Techniques.

• • • Development life cycle
    • Type of System
    • Level and Type of Risk
    • Test Objective
    • Time and Budget
    • Tester Experience
