Key Testing Levels Offered

Unit Testing: Evaluates individual components or code modules independently (typically performed by developers).

Integration Testing: Checks data communication and interactions between integrated modules using techniques like Top-Down, Bottom-Up, or Sandwich approaches.

System Testing: Evaluates the complete, fully integrated software package to verify compliance with specified requirements.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Validates the final software build against business needs and end-user expectations prior to market release.

Quality Assurance vs. Quality Control

Quality Assurance (QA): A process-oriented approach focused on defect prevention by establishing guidelines, standards, and process improvements across the SDLC.

Quality Control (QC): A product-oriented approach focused on defect detection through executing tests and identifying bugs in the software build.

Testing Methodology Types

Static Testing: Examines documentation, specifications, and code without running the application (e.g., formal inspections, walkthroughs, and peer reviews).

Dynamic Testing: Executes the software with specific input values to analyze output, behavior, and overall system performance.

Best suited for: Beginners, freshers, and professionals looking to strengthen their Manual Testing skills.
