Types of tests

• Unit tests - An automated exercise of code where the developer may create an artificial environment to automatically exercise a unit of code.

• Regression tests - Running the same set of tests regularly or after known events.

• Black Box tests - Testing based only upon the documentation of the unit without any knowledge of the implementation.

• White Box tests - Tests based on knowledge of the internals of the unit.

• Integration tests - Taking separate units of software that have already been tested and testing them together.

• Bounds tests - Testing the outer ranges of values. Nulls, zeroes, blanks, etc.

• Stress tests - Testing a system's ability to handle a desired system load, typically more than is expected.

• System/Acceptance testing Making sure the software as a whole works as expected.
