Introduction to Positive Testing
Positive testing describes how the developed application performs for the valid positive set of data. It is implemented to make sure that how the developed application is helpful to meet the client’s requirements. It also ensures whether all the inputs which are specified in the application are working properly or not.
Example 1:
Enter Name in Capital Letters: (as Input)
w3wikiThe name is given in capital letters. So, here the requirement meets as we expected. Hence the testing is implemented correctly for Positive Testing.
Example 2:
Enter Name in Capital Letter: (as Input)
w3wikiThe name is given in small letters. So, here the positive testing becomes fail because the entered input is against the requirement and It is considered as negative testing.
Example 3:
<input type=”file” accept=”application/pdf” required>
Condition 1: In this, it accepts only the input as file type.
Condition 2: It will only accept the file type of pdf only.If we input the PDF file type, the requirement will get fulfilled. Hence, it is considered as positive 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.
