Testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding bugs that makes the

application fail to meet the expected behavior. Regardless of the development methodology, the
ultimate goal of testing is to make sure that what is created does what it is supposed to do.
Testing plays a critical role for assuring quality and reliability of the software. I have included
testing as a part of development process. The test cases should be designed with maximum
possibilities of finding the errors or bugs. Various level of testing are as follows.

9.1 Testing Levels

Unit testing: Unit testing tests the functionality of individual units of source code. It is
the smallest component of a testable software that works in isolation with other parts of
the code. I have done unit testing for various individual components of the source code to
uncover errors within the boundary of the application.

Integration testing: Integration testing focuses on the design and construction of the
software. Here the individual components that are tested using unit tests are combined
and tested as a group. Its primary purpose is to expose the defects associated with the
interfacing of modules. It checks if the modules perform the desired functionality when
integrated together.

System testing: System testing is performed on a completely integrated system to see if it

meets the requirements.

Regression testing: Regression testing aims at verifying the functionality of the software
that is previously tested and to which changes are made. It is to ensure the old software
still works with new changes.

Acceptance testing: Acceptance testing is conducted to verify if the system compliance

the business requirements.
Adhering to the levels of testing, Unit testing is performed on individual components of the
system ensuring the expected behavior. Later, I have integrated various components together and
performed Integration testing. Once the integration testing is done, I have performed System

testing and ensured the application works as per the requirements. Finally, acceptance testing is
performed to check if the client accepts the system.

9.2 Test Cases

A test case is a set of rules or conditions to check if the system or one of its feature works in
accordance to the requirement. It is a document with a set of details which includes, set of test
data, expected results, actual results, environment information and soon.

I have designed and executed a few test cases to check if the application meets the functional
requirements.

Below are the test cases for the Job Search Portal web application.
