Software Testing Tutorial #11 - Levels in Software Testing

In this Software Testing Tutorial, we will learn about the levels in software testing. There are four levels of testing in software testing and the levels of testing question should not be confused with Types of software testing as there are many types of software testing but only 4 levels of software testing.

**Software Testing Tutorial #11 - Levels in Software Testing - Notes**

**Understanding Testing Levels:**
- Testing levels refer to distinct stages where software is tested for reliability, functionality, and quality.
- These levels are separate from testing types, which represent specific testing methodologies.

**Four Core Testing Levels:**
- Software testing encompasses four fundamental testing levels, ensuring comprehensive scrutiny before software reaches end-users.

**1. Unit Testing:**
- Unit testing starts the journey by testing the smallest components of an application.
- For example, in a login page, elements like username field, password field, and login button are tested individually.
- Developers often handle unit testing, verifying component quality and functionality.

**2. Integration Testing:**
- Integration testing follows unit testing, focusing on integrating tested components.
- In the login page example, integrated testing involves ensuring username field, password field, and login button interact harmoniously.
- Testers typically manage integration testing, examining component interactions and compatibility.

**3. System Testing:**
- System testing evaluates the entire software system as a cohesive unit.
- It ensures the software functions as intended.
- In standalone software, it's System Testing (ST); in software interacting with external systems, it's System Integration Testing (SIT).

**4. User Acceptance Testing (UAT):**
- UAT is the culmination of testing, involving real users representing customers or stakeholders.
- Users evaluate software's readiness, alignment with needs, and value addition.
- UAT feedback guides final adjustments before official software launch.

**Importance of Understanding Testing Levels:**
- Understanding testing levels is foundational in software testing.
- These levels serve as a roadmap, ensuring software quality, functionality, and user satisfaction.
- Effective collaboration between developers, testers, and users is facilitated by these levels.

**Interaction with Testing Types:**
- As expertise deepens, understanding testing types enhances testing strategies.
- Testing levels and types complement each other for comprehensive testing methodologies.

**Conclusion:**
- Testing levels form universal pillars in software testing.
- They provide structure, guiding software testing processes effectively.
- Collaboration between developers, testers, and users is streamlined.
- As you progress, mastery of testing levels and types aids in crafting tailored testing strategies.

i come here to clarify what i learn at my online school🤝...thank you sir

[iplaygame]

Thank you so much!!! You explained everything so clear, with examples and understandable. You made a good job!!

Am new to IT but you teach better than the books I bought. I just have to be your downline student.

Thanks boss understood type of test levels with ease!

I am a little bit confused as you say that testers are responsible for Integration testing but many other courses/sites/whatnot I've looked at claim that it is developer's responsibility. Could you please try to clarify how a tester, with no coding experience, would participate in Integration testing? On the side note, Good job, I really enjoy your videos, you know your craft and you know how to explain it. Thank you :)

Level of testing
1. unit testing
2. integration testing
3. system testing (system test / system integration test)
4. user acceptance testing

[deepagopiify]

Hello Sir, Is testing team responsible for System and user Acceptance Testing or developers and end users have any role on this?

[AK-lkhg]

Aren`t a Unit and Component different types?
