Genislab TechnologiesRecently, we have been involved in mobile application development and testing. The below checklist ensures that both developers and testers have covered these high level scenarios during their requirements discussion, development and testing activities. Mobile application development and testing checklist also helps you refine your requirements to ensure that your scope of work is clearly defined. These are high level questions and not very specific to the application functionality (we will cover that in the next article in the series).
Performance testing
What is Performance testing, Load testing and stress-testing tools in software testing?
Performance testing tools are basically for system level testing, to see whether or not the system will stand up to a high volume of usage. A load testing is to check that the system can handle its expected number of transactions. A volume testing is basically to check that the system can handle a large amount of data, e.g. many fields in a record, many records in a file, etc. A stress testing is one that goes beyond the normal expected usage of the system (to see what would happen outside its design expectations), with respect to load or volume.

What is Non-functional testing (Testing of software product characteristics)?
In non-functional testing the quality characteristics of the component or system is tested. Non-functional refers to aspects of the software that may not be related to a specific function or user action such as scalability or security. Eg. How many people can log in at once? Non-functional testing is also performed at all levels like functional testing.
