Manual Testing Syllabus

The document outlines the key topics covered in a manual testing syllabus, including an introduction to software testing processes and terminology, different software development life cycles and models, test case design techniques, levels and types of testing, and the software testing life cycle. It discusses static and dynamic test design techniques, the four main levels of testing, and types of functional and non-functional testing. The software testing life cycle covers requirements analysis, test planning, test case design, test environment setup, test execution through various regression cycles, and test cycle closure.

Types of Testing

i) Functional Testing

Unit Testing
Integration Testing
System Testing
User Acceptance Testing.
Sanity/Smoke Testing.

etc…
Note:
Functional Testing is a Test type, and Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing and
Acceptance Testing are the Test levels.

Functional Testing is conducted in all Test Levels (Unit, Integration, System, and Acceptance
Testing)

Sanity and Smoke Testing are Test Execution levels of Functional Testing

Retesting and Regression are for Change related Testing.

ii) Non Functional Testing

Performance Testing. (Load, Stress, Spike and Endurance Testing)


Usability Testing
Compatibility Testing
