Hi,

Pls tell me what is Stress & Volume Testing?

What other testings apart from Unit & integration, we do?

Thank You in advance

Unit testing is done in bit and pieces. Like e.g. in SD standard order cycle; we do have 1-create order, then 2-delivery, then 3-transfer order, then 4-PGI and then 5-Invoice. So we will be testing 1,2,3,4 and 5 seperately alone one by one using test cases and test data. We will not be looking and checking/testing any integration between order and delivery; delivery and TO; TO and PGI and then invoice.

Whrereas System testing you will be testing the full cycle with it's integration, and you will be testing using test cases which give a full cyclic test from order to invoice.

Security testing you will be testing different roles and functionalities and will check and signoff.

Performance testing is refered to as how much time / second will take to perform some actions, like e.g. PGI. If BPP defination says 5 seconds for PGI then it should be 5 and not 6 second. Usually it is done using software.

Regression testing is reffered to a test which verfies that some new configuration doesnot adversly impact existing functionality. This will be done on each phase of testing.

User Acceptance Testing: Refers to Customer testing. The UAT will be performed through the execution of predefined business scenarios, which combine various business processes. The user test model is comprised of a sub-set of system integration test cases.

just to give an idea...

Stress & Volume testing is done to ascertain if the system's performance is not hindered due to heavy volumes. For instance when we implement for a new Sales Org we might expect an increase in volume apart from the existing traffic. Will the system be able to take this extra volume. This we ascertain by doing a volume testing. Typically, if the orders are created through idocs, we create multiple idocs and induct them and check if the system is performing as expected. We also check if the tables related to the document does not get locked.

Hope this helps.
