5 Types of Testing Software Every Developer Needs to Know!

Software testing is a critical part of programming, and it is important that you understand these 5 types of testing that are used in software development. In this video, I go over the importance of the software testing pyramid and explain how the testing changes at each level. I also touch on MC/DC code coverage, which is critical if you every want to work in defence or aviation.

Better than any video I've seen on the Internet on this topic. Useful for both client and testers. Great Work!

[kcayushma]

Got the concept in 6 mins vs 3hr of lectures and mediocre bragging thank you 🙏

[RonnieDenzel]

Best summary for all the types of tests and their importance than any other video on the web💯

[NaftuliSinger]

Great straight to the point video! Thank you!

[gaerinraj]

Thank you very much. Very clearly explained

[Jelvix]

Hi! Thanks for this video! It's incredibly helpful, especially for those who are just beginning their journey. It's great that you are sharing your knowledges. Our QA team also created good video for QA and future QA — we collected the software testing trends for 2024

This video was very useful, thank you very much! Your editing is amazing :)

[yassinesedjari]

Thanks Alex, concise and straight to the point explanation. 👌

[ekbvdek]

Alex thank you for your video, it was very useful. Could you please give an example of a component testing for example on Facebook login page’s.

[Gimmy]

wouldn't you need n+1 tests instead of 2^n for mcdc?

[khushsanghavi]

excellent explanation...just one doubt...what is the exact difference between component
and integration testing then?

[markodjordjevic]

Great video, I have just one question. What are API tests ? They seem to me like they are actually component tests, but these naming conventions can be quite confusing.

[yantaosong]

thanks, Alex, but can't understand the component test .

[markveszelka]

Interestingly, you mention unit testing and component testing as different levels of the pyramid, but regarding the ISTQB Foundation Level Syllabus:
v 4.0: 'Component testing (also known as unit testing) focuses on testing components in isolation'
v 3.1.1: 'Component testing (also known as unit or module testing) focuses on components that are separately testable.'

Great video anyway! :)

Every Lions fan knows MC DC stands for Motor City Dan Campbell

[coachobispersonalworkoutti]

jUST ONE QUESTION ARE THESE THE LEVELS OF TESTING OR TYPES OF TESTING

[chenfry]

Your MCDC explanation is incorrect, you would need 4 for this senario. you need to show how each variable affects the outcome.
The coverage you explained is predicate coverage, which is higher subsumption than MCDC.

Why are we still teaching a model that is 15 years old? None of our software architectures follow the same patterns as what was popular in 2009. Many of the struggles that we saw in 2009 that puts UI and E2E tests at the top of the pyramid no longer exist.
