Question - Name a few types of tests used in software development
Answer -
There are more types of tests than we can count with both hands, but the most common ones are:
- Unit tests: validate that functions or classes behave as expected.
- Integration tests: are used to verify that the different components of an application work well together.
- End-to-end tests: check an application by simulating user interaction.
- Static tests: finds defects in code without actually executing it.
- Security tests: scans the application’s dependencies for known security issues.
- Smoke tests: fast tests that check if the application can start and that the infrastructure is ready to accept deployments.
