Penetration testing, also known as ethical hacking, involves systematically probing a system or network for vulnerabilities to identify potential security risks. The process typically consists of several distinct phases: Pre-engagement: This phase involves defining the scope and objectives of the penetration test. It includes establishing the rules of engagement, determining the target systems or networks,… Continue reading Phases of Penetration Testing Process

The “Five Levels of Test Maturity Model (TMM)” is a framework that assesses an organization’s capability and maturity in software testing. Developed by the Illinois Institute of Technology, TMM provides a structured approach to evaluating and improving testing processes. Here’s a brief description of each level: Initial: At this level, the organization lacks a formalized… Continue reading Five Levels of TMM( Test Maturity Model)

Internationalization testing, often abbreviated as I18n testing (where “18” represents the 18 letters between the “I” and the “n” in “Internationalization”), is a crucial aspect of software testing that focuses on ensuring that a software application can be adapted to various languages, regions, and cultures without losing functionality, usability, or integrity. Here’s a detailed description… Continue reading Internationalization Testing

Conventional testing, also known as traditional or waterfall testing, follows a linear and sequential approach to software development and testing. Here are the stages typically involved in conventional testing: Requirements Analysis: In this initial stage, the requirements for the software system are gathered, documented, and analyzed. This involves understanding the needs of the stakeholders and… Continue reading Stages in Conventional testing

Automated Visual Testing (AVT) is a cutting-edge technique in software testing that focuses on verifying the graphical user interface (GUI) of an application through automation. Unlike traditional functional testing, which verifies the behavior of the software, AVT specifically targets the visual aspects to ensure consistency and correctness in the application’s appearance across different devices, browsers,… Continue reading Automated Visual Testing

Defect logging, a crucial aspect of Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), involves the systematic identification, recording, and tracking of defects or issues found during the testing process. Identification: Defect logging begins with the identification of anomalies, inconsistencies, or deviations from expected behavior in the software under test. Testers, through various testing techniques like functional, non-functional,… Continue reading Defect logging
