What exactly is the protocol?When two computers share data among each other or across a network, they must adhere to a pre-defined process of data transfer, which is called 'protocol' Protocol Testing Protocol testing tools examine how data packets are sent across a network. The test procedure involves the use of routers and switches to create portions of the equipment and goods tested. The Value of Protocol Testing It also allows for the development of dependable and high-performance network connectivity. Devices would be unable to interpret the electronic signals they send when conversing via network connections if protocols were not ... Read More

Penetration TestingPenetration testing is a sub-category of Security Testing performed to detect vulnerabilities, threats and risks in a software that an attacker can take advantage of. The primary objective of performing this test is to identify and test all security vulnerabilities in the software. It is also referred to as Pen Test. The security vulnerabilities are uncovered by evaluating the software or application with malicious technologies. In this process, the weak points or aspects of a software are exploited with an authorized simulated attack.Penetration testing enables securing important data from outsiders and unauthorized persons, such as hackers. When a vulnerability ... Read More

Mutation TestingMutation testing, another form of software testing, is a testing in which statement(s) of the source code is/are changed or mutated to determine whether the test cases can detect errors in the source code or not. It is conducted to ensure the quality of test cases in terms of its robustness that it must fail the mutated source code.Mutation testing is not only done to determine the quality of existing software tests, but also to design new software tests. In mutation testing, a program is modified in small ways. It emphasizes helping testers develop effective tests and detect bottlenecks ... Read More

Application testing is a critical activity for any apps. Various approaches for testing apps have been developed over the last decade to ensure that we are providing high-quality applications that meet all of the customer's needs.Model-based testing (MBT) is a hot issue in the world of test automation that involves creating test cases from models of the applications being testedVarious approaches based on model-based testing are now available. We'll show you two approaches for model-based testing that use genetic algorithms. The use of genetic algorithms for model-based testing is a hot issue, and there are several papers and comparisons of ... Read More

Keyword-driven TestingKeyword-driven testing is a functional testing, also called table-driven testing or action-wordbased testing. In this testing, a table format is used, most likely a spreadsheet, to define keywords for a function to be executed.Basically, it is a scripting technique which uses data files to contain keywords that are related to the software under testing. These keywords represent a set of actions needed to execute a specific step. It includes high-level and low-level keywords, as well as keyword arguments, that is composed to define the action of a test case.The testing starts by identifying a set of keywords, then associating ...

A common query that keeps running in the mind of every IT aspirant is: do software testers have to write or learn code? In this article, we will be discussing the solution to this question. Software testing can be done manually as well as through automation. We will be discussing what skills a good tester must possess, what all knowledge they must have, and how much coding knowledge a good tester must have.Before answering this question, we must understand various software testing roles. Quality assurance (QA) testing in software testing is primarily divided into two broad categories −Quality Analysts − ... Read More

The Basics of CookiesWe'll start by discussing what cookies are and how they operate. When you understand how cookies operate, it will be much easier for you to comprehend the test cases for testing cookies. How can cookies end up on your computer's hard drive? Also, how can we change our Cookie preferences?What Exactly Is a Cookie?A cookie is a little piece of data that a web server stores in a text file on the user are hard disc. The web browser then uses this information to obtain information from that machine.The cookie, in general, includes customized user data or information ... Read More

Backend TestingBacked testing is a method or technique that examines the server of database side of web applications or software. The primary motive of performing this test is to test the application layer or database layer to make the software defect-free, and prevent deadlock, data corruption, or data loss. For seamless and efficient working of a software, its GUI and database must interact with each other. Usually, databases are validated for: ACID functions, CRUD operations, Schema, Migration, business rule conformance, security purposes and performance.This testing is also referred to as "database testing". The data entered through the frontend is stored ... Read More

Testing in a White BoxWhite Box Testing is a software examining technique that involves testing the product's underlying structure, design, and coding in order to verify input-output flow and improve design, usability, and security. White box testing is also known as Clear box testing, Open box testing, transparent box testing, Code-based testing, and Glass box testing since the code is visible to the testers.It's one of two components of the software testing approach known as Box Testing. Blackbox testing, on the other hand, entails testing from an external or end-user perspective. White box testing, on the other hand, is focused ... Read More

Thread testing is client-server-based testing to verify the primary function of an application. It is used to determine whether the application can run a specific task or thread or not.Why Thread Testing is important?Software is split into several threads with each thread running a specific task. When all components of the software are integrated, it is time for the developer to ensure the program runs as expected. For example, if it is a banking app, then the developer must make sure the app can execute all the transactions as per the client’s requirement. This is where thread testing comes to ... Read More
