V. Test Strategy

Functional Testing

Functional testing will be performed to validate that the software behaves as expected. This includes:

• Unit Testing: Developers will test individual units or components of the software to ensure they function correctly in isolation.

  • Tools: JUnit for Java, NUnit for .NET, pytest for Python.

• Integration Testing: Testing the integration of different modules or components to ensure they work together seamlessly.

  • Approach: Incremental integration testing, starting with testing individual components and gradually integrating them.

  • Tools: Postman for API testing, Selenium for web application testing.

• System Testing: Testing the complete system to ensure it meets the specified requirements and functions correctly as a whole.

  • Approach: Black-box testing to simulate real-world usage scenarios.

  • Tools: Selenium for automated web application testing, JMeter for load testing.

• Acceptance Testing: Testing the software with end-users to ensure it meets their needs and expectations.

  • Approach: User acceptance testing (UAT) will be conducted by selected users to validate the software's usability and functionality.

  • Tools: User feedback forms, usability testing tools.

Non-functional Testing

Non-functional testing will be conducted to assess performance and security aspects, including:

• Performance Testing: Testing the performance of the software under different load conditions to ensure it meets performance requirements.

  • Approach: Load testing, stress testing, and scalability testing will be conducted.

  • Tools: Apache JMeter, LoadRunner.

• Load Testing: Testing the software's ability to handle a large number of users or transactions to ensure it performs well under high load.

  • Approach: Gradual increase in load to determine the breaking point of the system.

  • Tools: Apache JMeter, LoadRunner.

• Security Testing: Testing the software for vulnerabilities and ensuring it complies with security standards.

  • Approach: Vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and compliance testing.

  • Tools: OWASP ZAP, Burp Suite, Nessus.
