Disadvantages of Positive Testing
- Positive Testing will not carry out all possible test cases.
- It will not handle the unexpected error of the product/application.
- Providing a valid set of data for each test case should be given properly else it will not cover the test cases.
- Specifying positive test cases for a large number of data require special attention and learning.
- It does not ensure the accuracy of the product completely.
- It is less efficient as compared to Negative Testing.
Positive Testing – Software Testing
SDLC stands for Software Development Life Cycle. It consists of a sequence of steps that have to be followed by an organization to develop and deploy its software. It consists of 7 phases-Planning, Analysis, Design, Development, Testing, Implementation, and Maintenance.
Software testing plays an important role. After the planning, requirement analysis, design, and code were developed, the testing phase gets started. This testing phase is handled by Quality Analyst or Software Test Engineer to test the software with various test cases to ensure that the developed product or software is working properly as per their requirement. During testing, the tester will find bugs or errors in the developed code and help the end-users to correct their mistakes while interacting with the software.
There are various types of testing techniques to be carried out for testing the entire product. Here, we will discuss the following topics of Positive Testing:
- Introduction to Positive Testing.
- Execution of Positive Testing
Let’s start discussing each of these topics in detail.
