21. Breadth Testing: A test suite that exercises the full functionality of a product but does not test features in detail. It is performed by testing teams.
22. Black box Testing: A method of software testing that verifies the functionality of an application without having specific knowledge of the application’s code/internal structure. Tests are based on requirements and functionality. It is performed by QA teams.
23. Code-driven Testing: Testing technique that uses testing frameworks (such as xUnit) that allow the execution of unit tests to determine whether various sections of the code are acting as expected under various circumstances. It is performed by the development teams.
24. Compatibility Testing: Testing technique that validates how well a software performs in a particular hardware/software/operating system/network environment. It is performed by the testing teams.
25. Comparison Testing: Testing technique which compares the product strengths and weaknesses with previous versions or other similar products. Can be performed by tester, developers, product managers or product owners.
26. Component Testing: Testing technique similar to unit testing but with a higher level of integration – testing is done in the context of the application instead of just directly testing a specific method. Can be performed by testing or development teams.
27. Configuration Testing: Testing technique which determines minimal and optimal configuration of hardware and software, and the effect of adding or modifying resources such as memory, disk drives and CPU. Usually it is performed by the performance testing engineers.
28. Condition Coverage Testing: Type of software testing where each condition is executed by making it true and false, in each of the ways at least once. It is typically made by the automation testing teams.
29. Compliance Testing: Type of testing which checks whether the system was developed in accordance with standards, procedures and guidelines. It is usually performed by external companies which offer “Certified OGC Compliant” brand.
30. Concurrency Testing: Multi-user testing geared towards determining the effects of accessing the same application code, module or database records. It it usually done by performance engineers.
31. Conformance Testing: The process of testing that an implementation conforms to the specification on which it is based. It is usually performed by testing teams.
32. Context Driven Testing: An Agile Testing technique that advocates continuous and creative evaluation of testing opportunities in light of the potential information revealed and the value of that information to the organization at a specific moment. It is usually performed by Agile testing teams.
33. Conversion Testing: Testing of programs or procedures used to convert data from existing systems for use in replacement systems. It is usually performed by the QA teams.
34. Decision Coverage Testing: Type of software testing where each condition/decision is executed by setting it on true/false. It is typically made by the automation testing teams.
35. Destructive Testing: Type of testing in which the tests are carried out to the specimen’s failure, in order to understand a specimen’s structural performance or material behavior under different loads. It is usually performed by QA teams.
36. Dependency Testing: Testing type which examines an application’s requirements for pre-existing software, initial states and configuration in order to maintain proper functionality. It is usually performed by testing teams.
37. Dynamic Testing: Term used in software engineering to describe the testing of the dynamic behavior of code. It is typically performed by testing teams.
38. Domain Testing: White box testing technique which contains checking that the program accepts only valid input. It is usually done by software development teams and occasionally by automation testing teams.
39. Error-Handling Testing: Software testing type which determines the ability of the system to properly process erroneous transactions. It is usually performed by the testing teams.
40. End-to-end Testing: Similar to system testing, involves testing of a complete application environment in a situation that mimics real-world use, such as interacting with a database, using network communications, or interacting with other hardware, applications, or systems if appropriate. It is performed by QA teams.
