What is Unit testing?

 Unit Testing is a type of software testing where individual units or components of a software are tested. The purpose is to validate that each unit of the software code performs as expected. Unit Testing is done during the development (coding phase) of an application by the developers. Unit Tests isolate a section of code and verify its correctness. A unit may be an individual function, method, procedure, module, or object.

What are the different types of Non-Functional Tests

Image
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 R...

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...

Why do we need version control systems for IT companies?

Image
  Version control systems (VCS) are software tools that help developers manage changes to their source code over time. VCS tracks modifications made to files, including who made the changes and when allowing developers to quickly revert to a previous version or compare changes between different versions. This technology has revolutionized software development, making it easier for developers to collaborate on projects, maintain code quality, and improve productivity.   Git is the most popular distributed VCS. Managing and Protecting the Source Code Keeping Track of All the Modifications Made to the Code Comparing Earlier Versions of the Code Supports the Developers’ Workflow and Not any Rigid Way of Working Example:  There are 3 workstations or three different developers at three other locations, and there's one repository acting as a server. The workstations are using that repository either for the process of committing or updating the tasks.
