Classification of types of testing:

- according to the knowledge of the system:

a) the testing method of black box testing is the only the part of the program, which is available through its interface;

b) testing white-box testing is the work program based on the knowledge of its code;

c) testing the “gray box” (sometimes called glass box) – this test includes both of the previous;

- according to the degree of automation:

a) manual – manual testing is entirely performed by the tester;

b) automated – automated testing is performed using separately written programs, which are programmed in them performing the algorithm, test the operation of the product;

c) deliver a shock – semi-automatic testing implies that automated only a small part of your tests, or there are programs that partially able to test the product, but their work requires constant monitoring on the part of the tester;

- by type of positivity:

a) positive – positive tests verify the correct operation of the program when inputting data;

b) negative – negative tests verify the correctness of the program in case of unexpected input parameters;

- on a degree of readiness:

a) software testing documentation is conducted in accordance with test cases – special documents that describe the necessary steps for testing;

b) intelligence testing – test program knowing nothing about the;

c) AD HOC testing – testing like intelligence, but with the preliminary work with the test program and knowledge of it devices;

- at the time of the event:

a) alpha is a product testing staff members of the developer;

b) beta is the testing of the product by a limited circle of persons who are not employees of the company and are involved with parties for independent assessment and fresh look at a ready-made program;

c) smoky (Smoke) is a superficial examination of the program on the ability of its work and functions;

d) regression is a type of testing which is carried on a new version of the product, to verify the elimination of old errors and the lack of new faults;

f) acceptance (User Acceptance Testing, UAT) – acceptance testing is conducted by personnel of the customer to confirm the quality of the product, acceptance into service and readiness of final settlement;

- according to the degree of isolation of the components:

a) modular – is a minimal test Autonomous functional units of a program;

b) component – the testing of one individual component in the program;

c) integration is a test of the interaction between the various components of the system;

d) the system is testing the fully assembled system in the form in which it will be delivered to the customer;

- functionality:

a) functional – verification components for performing the desired function;

b) non-functional is to verify the characteristics of the program;

- for static:

a) static testing is testing of a product, without the execution of its source codes;

b) dynamic testing is the work with the application interface.
