1.1.7 Suggest various types of testing

Static Testing vs. Dynamic Testing:

• Static Testing: Involves reviewing and analyzing code or documentation without executing the program. It aims to find issues early in the development process.
• Dynamic Testing: Involves executing the software to evaluate its behavior and functionality during runtime. It focuses on runtime behavior.

Alpha Testing and Beta Testing:

• Alpha Testing: Conducted by an internal team to identify issues before releasing the software to external users.
• Beta Testing: Involves external users testing the software in a real-world environment to gather feedback before the official release.

Black-box vs. White-box Testing:

• Black-box Testing: Focuses on testing the software’s functionality without considering its internal code structure. Testers are unaware of the internal logic.
• White-box Testing: Examines the internal code and logic of the software. Testers have knowledge of the software’s internal workings.

User Acceptance Testing:

• Involves end-users testing the software to ensure it meets their requirements and is ready for production use. It is the final phase before software deployment.

Automated Testing:

• Involves using automated test scripts and tools to execute tests quickly and repeatedly. It is effective for regression testing and repetitive tasks.
