There are the following main types of tests in programming:
- Unit tests: Check the smallest isolated parts of code (functions, methods) for correctness.
- Integration tests: Check the interaction between multiple modules or system components.
- Functional tests: Verify whether the system meets functional requirements, i.e., performs what it is supposed to do from the user's perspective.
- System tests: Test the entire system as a whole for compliance with requirements, including functional and non-functional aspects.
- Acceptance tests: Verify whether the system meets the end-user or customer expectations. Performed by users or their representatives.
- Regression tests: Conducted after making changes to the code (bug fixes, new features) to ensure that these changes did not break existing functionality.
Additional types of tests:
- Load tests: Check the system's behavior under expected workload.
- Stress tests: Check the system's behavior under extreme loads exceeding expectations to determine its limits.
- Performance tests: Measure speed, responsiveness, and stability under certain loads.
- Security tests: Check for vulnerabilities and the system's ability to defend against unauthorized access or attacks.
- Usability tests: Evaluate how easy and intuitive the system is for end-users.
- Compatibility tests: Check the system's operation in various environments (operating systems, browsers, devices).
