    System Testing evaluates the entire software application as a whole to verify compliance with requirements. Elaboration: Example: Testing a banking application across different operating systems before deployment.

  • Integration Testing

    ,

    Integration Testing verifies that different components/modules of a system work together correctly. Elaboration: Example: Testing API communication between a payment gateway and an e-commerce website.

  • Unit Testing

    ,

    Unit Testing involves testing individual components (functions, modules) of a software application in isolation. Elaboration: Example (Python Unit Test using PyTest): add(a, b): return a + bdef test_add(): assert add(2, 3) == 5

  • Testing

    ,

    Software testing is the process of evaluating software to ensure it functions correctly and meets user requirements. Elaboration: Example: A team uses Selenium automation testing to verify a web application’s functionality before launch.

  • DevOps

  • Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)

    ,

    The Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) is a structured approach used for planning, developing, testing, and deploying software applications. Elaboration: Example: A banking application follows SDLC to ensure security and compliance before deployment.
