Sanity software testing
Software sanity testing may not be as commonly known as performance, security, or UI testing, but that’s only because it deals with highly specific aspects of the product that may not be covered by other types of functional or non-functional testing. To put it simply, sanity testing is important for two reasons. One, it tests a limited fragment of a software product, typically a feature that has just undergone significant changes, to see whether it still works as it’s supposed to. Two, software sanity testing confirms that the newest software build is ready for the next stages of QA.
Sanity testing is sometimes confused with regression testing, and that is not an entirely incorrect opinion. Sanity testing is a subset of regression testing, and both are used to verify that the recent changes to the code did not negatively affect the existing functionality. However, there is a key difference between the two. Unlike regression testing, which deals with the big picture and uses the “wide and shallow” QA approach, sanity software testing uses the “narrow and deep” approach, dealing with one functional unit at a time. As a result, you can know for sure that the recently updated part of your solution works as intended.
So how exactly can our sanity software testing services help your product reach new heights? We will use sanity testing as the first and essential step of regression testing. Thorough sanity software testing allows us to make sure that the core functionality of your solution wasn’t negatively affected by the code updates. One more benefit of software sanity testing is that it’s the key element of quality checks. A successfully passed sanity test demonstrates the solution’s readiness to be further tested and ensures that future tests will bring tangible results.
