An overall approach for how testing should occur across a company
User Interface Testing
Verifying that each UI element of a software application works as expected
Regression Testing
Performed When Developers make updates, add new features, or fix bugs, to make sure existing functionality hasn’t broken
End to end testing
Performed when you want to make sure the entire software application functions perfectly in a real-world scenario from an end user perspective
Smoke testing
Checks the most important functionality to identify major issues early on
Browser testing
Testing to see if the software works in different browsers
Accessibility testing
To test and make sure that the software adheres to accessibility standards
Security testing
Done to identify security gaps
Scalability testing
Done to determine how the application handles a bigger load
Spike testing
Done to see how the application handles a sudden spike in load
Endurance testing
Done to identify if there are resource leaks
Soak testing
Testing a normal load over a long period of time to see if there are any issues that occur over time
Load testing
Testing the load to see if normal load causes any issues
Integration Testing
Making sure the parts of an app work well together
