1. Performance Testing: Evaluates how well the system performs

under normal conditions.
o Measures response times and speed of tasks.
o Monitors memory usage to ensure efficient performance.
o Checks network and disk usage patterns.
2. Load Testing: Tests system behavior under expected loads.
o Simulates multiple users accessing the system concurrently.
o Ensures the system can handle typical usage volumes without
degradation.
o Verifies that resources like CPU and memory are effectively
managed.
3. Stress Testing: Assesses system robustness under extreme
conditions.
o Pushes the system beyond its designed limits to identify
breaking points.
o Tests resilience against failures such as low memory or disk
faults.
o Evaluates how the system recovers from unexpected
situations like high traffic spikes.
4. Security Testing: Checks system vulnerabilities and defense
mechanisms.

software and platforms.
o Verifies interoperability with specific browsers, applications,
or file formats.
o Tests compatibility across different versions and updates of
related software.
o Ensures that interactions with external systems or APIs work
as expected.
9. Documentation Testing: Reviews accuracy and completeness of
user guides and manuals.
o Checks if instructions are clear and easy to follow.
o Verifies that documentation matches the actual system
behavior.
o Collects feedback from users to improve clarity and
usefulness of documentation.
10.Experience-Based Techniques: Utilizes testers' expertise and
intuition to uncover potential issues.

 Applies knowledge of similar applications to identify critical test

scenarios.
 Conducts exploratory testing to discover unexpected defects or
usability issues.
 Employs error guessing techniques based on past experiences to
predict likely problem areas.

Special Value Testing: Focuses on testing areas likely to contain errors based on
domain knowledge or intuition.
