Testing to uncover vulnerabilities of the system and determine that its data and resources are protected from possible intruders. Examples include penetration testing and vulnerability scanning.

A type of software testing to confirm that a recent program or code change has not adversely affected existing features. Examples include rerunning previously completed tests after code changes.

Final testing before releasing the application for commercial use. Real users test the software in a real environment. Examples include releasing a beta version of the software to a group of users outside the company.

A type of testing that verifies individual units of source code function correctly. Examples include testing single functions or methods.

Testing to evaluate a product's user interface design and functions with real users. Examples include conducting task-based analysis in a controlled environment.

Testing of software work products manually, or with a set of tools, but they are not executed. Examples include walkthrough, inspection, and review.

Testing to ensure compatibility of an application, website, or system with various other objects such as other web browsers, databases, hardware, or operating systems. Examples include checking an application’s performance on different browsers.

Type of testing to ensure software applications will perform well under their expected workload. Examples include stress testing and load testing.

Preliminary testing to reveal simple failures severe enough to reject a prospective software release. Examples include checking if an application launches properly.

Testing in which individual software modules are combined and tested as a group. Examples include testing database and application interactions.

The testing of the dynamic behaviour of code. It is done by executing the code or program. Examples include functional and non-functional tests that require the application to run.
