Soak Testing

A Soak Testing is a typical production load for continuous available period to check system behavior under production use.  Soak Test also called the Endurance Test. It is a non-function Testing.
A Soak testing means , tester put the huge amount of load for the large amount of time to check the stability and the response time of the application.

For an example if a system is working for 1 hour then we check it for 3 hours. Generally we are using Soak Test in financial sector where more transaction occur concurrently. Suppose there are 10000 transaction and these are taking 100 hours. We increase the time suppose 300 hours to check the response, memory leaks,resource allocation or memory allocation.

Issue that can be found in Soak Test
  • Memory Leak Issue
  • Failure of close connection between system layers
  • Failure of close database connection
  • Gradual degradation of response time
  • Unreleased Resources

What is API?

In general way, API (Application Programming Interface) is the intermediate software which is useful for two applications to communicate. API is the tool which is used for interaction of two applications. If developer developing any software which have multiple blocks (Modules) than developer use APIs to put them together.

Smoke Testing

In Smoke Testing, Testing team check the key feature or key bugs of the software. Smoke testing ensure that critical functionality of the software is working fine.If key features are not working then it is no needed to test the overall functionality because it is just waste of time. In Smoke Testing, test team check the basic feature of the software and if basic feature is not working it means software is broken very badly and further testing is unnecessary. If Smoke Testing failed then it is declared that build is unstable and revert back to developer team until smoke test is pass.

Structural Testing

Structural Testing is the type of testing in which user should have the knowledge of the code because in this testing user need to check the structure of the system. Structural Testing is White Box Testing.
