What are the different types of Non-Functional Tests

Non Functional Testing

Non-Functional Testing is defined as a type of Software testing to check non-functional aspects (performance, usability, reliability, etc) of a software application.



Following are the most common Types of Non Functional Testing:

  • Performance Testing
  • Load Testing
  • Failover Testing
  • Compatibility Testing
  • Usability Testing
  • Stress Testing
  • Maintainability Testing
  • Scalability Testing
  • Volume Testing
  • Security Testing
  • Disaster Recovery Testing
  • Compliance Testing
  • Portability Testing
  • Efficiency Testing
  • Reliability Testing
  • Baseline Testing
  • Endurance Testing
  • Documentation Testing
  • Recovery Testing
  • Internationalization Testing
  • Localization Testing

1) Security:

The parameter defines how a system is safeguarded against deliberate and sudden attacks from internal and external sources. This is tested via Security Testing.

2) Reliability:

The extent to which any software system continuously performs the specified functions without failure. This is tested by Reliability Testing

3) Survivability:

The parameter checks that the software system continues to function and recovers itself in case of system failure. This is checked by Recovery Testing

4) Availability:

The parameter determines the degree to which user can depend on the system during its operation. This is checked by Stability Testing.

5) Usability:

The ease with which the user can learn, operate, prepare inputs and outputs through interaction with a system. This is checked by Usability Testing

6) Scalability:

The term refers to the degree in which any software application can expand its processing capacity to meet an increase in demand. This is tested by Scalability Testing

7) Interoperability:

This non-functional parameter checks a software system interfaces with other software systems. This is checked by Interoperability Testing

8) Efficiency:

The extent to which any software system can handles capacity, quantity and response time.

9) Flexibility:

The term refers to the ease with which the application can work in different hardware and software configurations. Like minimum RAM, CPU requirements.

10) Portability:

The flexibility of software to transfer from its current hardware or software environment.

11) Reusability:

It refers to a portion of the software system that can be converted for use in another application.

What is CI, CD & CT?

Image
Continuous Integration (CT), continuous Testing (CT) and continuous Delivery (CD) accelerate the code release process and are thus crucial to DevOps. These processes are often referred to as a  CI/CD pipeline  or a  DevOps pipeline. Continuous integration.  In the CI stage, developers write a feature, update or fix, then commit the code to a central code repository. Organizations often use  version control tools  like GitHub and Atlassian Bitbucket. These tools enable developers to write or modify code without interrupting another developer's progress. Once the code commits to the repo, Continuous Testing (CT) begins to  shine. In the initial stage of the pipeline, static code analysis can check for syntax issues and common vulnerabilities. Use plugins in the CI server to configure static code analysis with a tool.  Static code analysis is an initial test of the code. If the code passes, the unit test stage comes next, unless these tests wer...

How to push changes to Git Hub using GIT GUI?

Image
Getting started with Git GUI Step 1: Create Remote Repository Now, we need a Git repository, and we’ll create a new remote repository on Github. Step 2: Create a Local Repository For creating a local repository: in our Git GUI, click on  “Create New Repository” . Select the location you wish to store your repository in. It is important to note that the selected repository location MUST NOT  exist. In order for this new repository to be initialized, you must first create a file, any file, in your local repo.Then, you must Commit and Push to the remote Git repository location. Step 3: Clone a Remote Repository to a Local Repository In order to clone a repository, click on the “ Clone Existing Repository ” link in the Git GUI window. An existing repository is one that is already initialized and/or has commits pushed to it. Note:  In the Source Location field, fill in the Git remote repository location. The target directory works as same in the case of creating a local reposi...
