Quality Assurance Consultants: Incremental Testing & Its Forms

Typically, a quality assurance company hires employees that have high professional skills, vast experience and deep knowledge in their field of specialization.

Qualified specialists have an in-depth understanding of different types of software testing processes. The specialist will carry out software testing to a high professional standard whether it be penetration testing, or exploratory testing, or reliability testing, or installation testing.

If the tester can run integration testing effectively, then he will not have any problems executing incremental testing. The reason for that is that there are the same task scenarios for these two types of testing.   

Each component of the system is being tested individually during incremental testing. Software testing process makes it possible for the specialist to evaluate promptly the work of the developers and give feedback on it.  

People, such as quality assurance consultants, due to their extensive experience in the field of QA /software testing, will advise you on the improvement of your software development quality so that you may market consistent and safe products.

Incremental Testing Forms:

  1. Vertical.
  2. Horizontal.

The main advantage of incremental testing is that it helps to identify the reason for the occurrence of a particular bug in a software system because it can be easily tracked and found.

What are the strategies of vertical incremental testing?

  • “Top-down” testing starts with verifying user network. Then, the next stage is the testing of lower level components of the software system using the stubs for simulating performance of lower-level elements of the system.
  • Owing to “bottom up” testing it is possible to verify lower level elements of the system in the first place. Thus, system performance testing is carried out from the bottom upwards. If higher level components of the system have not been still completely developed, then the testing is run using the drivers. As a result, you have got a so-called module stub.

If the stubs and drivers are used simultaneously during the system’s testing, then it is nothing but sandwich testing known as the incremental testing approach.  

Penetration testing as a service is an approach used to assess the security vulnerabilities by simulating the behavior of an attacker that might access your infrastructure.  

Nevertheless, incremental testing has also disadvantages. One of them is that this process takes long because the stubs and drivers need to be developed at first to be used during the testing.
