Integration Testing

When all small unit of code combined together or we can say integrate together then perform the testing between the interface of these units to verify that are these unit working fine when these are combined. Integration Testing occur after Unit Testing. In Unit Testing , developer concern only over the each module and fixes all error in that but developer not focused that what is the effect of bug fixes in other modules. Each Unit is developed by different different programmers so in Integration Testing, We will test the data communication between these Units.



Integration Testing takes as input units which are testing in Unit Testing and group them in large modules and test them then provide the output to the System Testing. Integration Testing Perform by Test Team. This is the Black Box Testing type.

The purpose of Integration Testing is to  verify the Functionality, Performance and the Requirement based on the design phase.

Type of Integration Testing


1) Big Bang: In this approach, most of the modules which are developed connected together to make the complete software and tested. This approach is very time saving approach. If Test Cases are not reported properly then the process is more complicated to understand and it is very tough for the testing team to achieve the goal of Integration Testing.

2) Top Down Integration Testing: The Top Down Integration approach will work when some lower level modules are not completed and Team team need to perform the Integration Testing. For this we use the stubs which are the temporary program to replace with the uncompleted modules to complete the Integration Testing.

In Top Down Integration Testing, testing start from the top level and continuous with the lower level to test the Integration. Top Down Integration Testing also called the Incremental Approach.

3) Bottom Up Integration Testing: The Bottom Up Integration Approach start from the bottom and carried to top of the software. In this hierarchy, the top level are substituted with the Driver which are temporary program to replace with the uncompleted code.

In this testing, Lower level of modules are tested first then higher level component tested. Top Down Integration Testing also called the Incremental Approach.

4) Sandwich Testing: In this approach, team combine both Bottom up and Top down approach.

Why Jmeter is best option for Performance Testing?

There are multiple tools in market for performance testing of any software but Jmeter is the best solution among all of them due to some reason listed below 1) Jmeter is the open source application so users who use this application will not to pay anything. 2) You can use Jmeter for performance of any web application,  Databases and Web Services (REST and SOAP APIs). 3) Jmeter have the user friendly UI component so it is very easy to use. 4) Jmeter can be used to simulate to put maximum number of concurrent users on a server, network or object to test its strength or to analyze overall performance under different load types. 5) Jmeter also use for functional testing for static( JavaScript and HTML) and dynamic( JSP, Servlets and AJAX) resources. 6) Jmeter provides Verity of graphical representations for performance report so it is easy to understand.

How You Can Test Database?

Now we know the Database Testing which you can learn in my last article. In this article we will discuss about the steps that need to following to test any Database. Database Tester should have some basic knowledge regarding SQL Command like DDL (create/drop),  DML (Insert/Delete/Update) and DCL (Grant/Revoke).

Record and Play Back in JMeter

In this section we will discuss about how to record a Test script than how we can play back that script in the browser. First we develop a  a Test Script than put a load of suppose 100 users and than run the test script again with this load while Test executing than we are getting result in performance matrices that how the Test performing in different number of users.
