What is Data Driven Testing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQF_Zlulk2U

  • Data driven testing is an automation testing, which tests the output and/or input values. These values are read directly from the data files rather than using hard coded values. The data files can be csv files, excel files, text files, data pools etc.

  • Separation of test and data makes tests logically simpler. A test containing several sets of hard-coded values can be rather difficult to modify and maintain. For instance, easy to extend  values in data file than to modify test commands.

  • Various inputs can be handled effectively.

  • When the storage contains both input and verifying data, a data-driven test performs following operation in a loop.

    • Retrieving input data from storage

    • Entering data in an application form and stimulates actions

    • Verifying the results

    • Continuing with the next set of input data

What is unit testing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h9RvPN3kiHk&feature=youtu.be   Testing of individual software components or units or modules. Typically unit testing is done by the programmer and not by testers. Unit is smallest and complete set of code which accepts input, processes and gives output The primary goal of unit testing is to take the smallest piece of testable software in the application, isolate it from the remainder of the code, and determine whether it behaves exactly as you expect.

Regression Testing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qaANTCZt20g What is Regression testing? It is a type of software testing that verifies that software performs correctly after the change or defect fix. Changes may include software enhancements, patches, hardware, networking, data structure, configuration changes, etc. In other words purpose of regression testing is to identify that  new defects are not introduced in the system after the change. 2) At what levels regression testing should be done? At all levels mainly Unit Testing, Integration testing and System Testing: Focus on testing is different at different levels. 3) What are the types of Regression testing techniques? Corrective Regression Testing: Progressive Regression Testing: Retest-All Strategy:. Selective Strategy: (dependencies between a test case and the program entities it covers) 4) What should be the frequency of regression testing? Ideally Regression testing should be done after bug fix and after any change to the syste
