Software Testing Dictionary What is Active Testing?

Active testing, a testing technique, where the user introduces test
Home data and analyses the result.

During Active testing, a tester builds a mental model of the software

A under test which continues to grow and refine as your interaction
with the software continues.

Active Testing
1. At the end of each and every action performed on the
application under test, we need to check if the
Actual Outcome
model/application seems to fulfill client's needs.
2. If not, the application needs to be adapted, or that we got a
Ad Hoc Testing problem in the application. We continuously engage in the
testing process and help us to come up with new ideas, test
Age Testing cases, test data to fulfill.
3. At the same time, we need to note down things, which we might
Agile Testing want to turn to later or we follow up with the concerned team
on them, eventually finding and pinpointing problems in the
All-pairs Testing software.
4. Hence, any application under test needs active testing which
involves testers who spot the defects.
