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....

Execution of Positive Testing

Two different techniques can be used for Positive Testing Validation-...

Features of Positive Testing

Evaluation of Functionality: Positive testing evaluates the functionality of the software system to ensure that it meets the intended requirements. Accurate Results: This testing methodology aims to provide accurate and expected results by providing valid input data. Detection of Errors: Positive testing helps detect any errors or defects in the software system and ensures that they are identified and fixed during the testing phase. Improved Software Quality: Positive testing plays a crucial role in improving the overall quality of the software system by identifying and fixing issues and defects before the software is released to the end-users. Increased Confidence: Positive testing increases the confidence of the development team and the stakeholders that the software system is functioning correctly and as per the intended design. Time-Saving: Positive testing is a time-efficient method of testing as it focuses on testing the expected functionalities and features of the software system....

Advantages of Positive Testing

It takes less time than Negative testing since it covers only valid test cases. It verifies that all the requirements are met. It makes sure that the software is working perfectly as built. Positive Testing saves the efforts of a tester by identifying the wrong build in the initial stages. Verifications of the product will be done with a known set of test cases/conditions. It helps in improving the code ability. Compared to other testing techniques, Positive testing scenarios will have fewer defects count. It accurately tests or checks the expected behavior of the application....

Disadvantages of Positive Testing

Positive Testing will not carry out all possible test cases. It will not handle the unexpected error of the product/application. Providing a valid set of data for each test case should be given properly else it will not cover the test cases. Specifying positive test cases for a large number of data require special attention and learning. It does not ensure the accuracy of the product completely. It is less efficient as compared to Negative Testing....

Tools and Techniques

Testing for user acceptance (UAT): Enlisting end users to verify the functioning of the programme in ideal circumstances. Testing Using Models: Creating positive test cases that follow the intended behavior specified in the system specifications by using models. Testing Using a Checklist: Creating checklists will help to guarantee that positive test scenarios meet user expectations and corporate needs. Risk-Based Testing: Placing affirmative test cases in order of priority according to possible threats to vital system functionality. Checklists: Generating positive test scenario checklists based on functional requirements and specifications. Continuous Deployment/Continuous Integration (CI/CD): Whenever updates are sent to the version control system, the testing process is automated using programmes like Jenkins or GitLab CI....
