Other Non Functional Tests

Compatibility Test:

Compatibility testing is a crucial aspect of software development that ensures the seamless functioning of applications or websites across various web browsers, hardware platforms, operating systems, and other relevant factors. By conducting compatibility testing, the effectiveness of a system in different settings can be assessed. The primary criteria for compatibility testing include evaluating compatibility with diverse hardware configurations, networks, operating systems, and interactions with other applications.

Security Test: To determine if an application or product is secure or not, security testing is employed. The application should not be subject to assaults unless someone compromises the system or signs in to the application without authorization. Security testing determines whether there is any information leakage, such as when the application is encrypted or when a variety of software, hardware, and firewalls are used, among other things. The following six fundamental security ideas must be covered in security testing:

  • Confidentiality
  • Integrity
  • Authentication
  • Availability
  • Authorization
  • Non-repudiation.

Usability Test: In essence, usability testing is evaluating how user-friendly the program interface is. It determines whether or not the program or product is user-friendly. Additionally, usability testing demonstrates if consumers are at ease using the program or website based on a number of criteria, including:

  • Flow,
  • Navigation
  • Layout
  • Speed
  • Content

Accessibility Test: A tester does this subset of usability testing to see how easily someone with a physical disability can use the program. The accessibility of the application for persons with impairments including hearing loss, color blindness, old age, and other disadvantaged groups is the major emphasis of this test.

Localization Test: A software testing methodology known as “localization testing” examines whether or not an application behaves in accordance with local circumstances or culture. In other terms, it is the process of adapting software programs to the language and location of the intended audience.

This type of non-performance test applies to globalized applications whose user interface (UI), default language, currency, date format, and documentation correspond to the intended nation or area. It guarantees that the program is suitable for usage in that particular nation.

Internationalization Test: Internationalisation is the process of creating software applications that can adapt to different languages and geographical areas without requiring any adjustments.

The aforementioned non-performance non-functional tests are carried out by a separate testing team known as the NPNFT team.
