Understanding the levels of the Software Testing Pyramid
Introduction Before coming to what Software Testing Pyramid actually is, let’s just start with some basics! We all know what a "software" is, but then what is software testing or why is it even important? Let me answer your doubts- Software Testing is a process that involves evaluating software components to ensure they meet specified…

Condition Coverage in Software Testing
Condition coverage is a white-box testing metric ensuring every boolean condition within a decision – not just the overall branch. Branch coverage only needs the whole expression to go both ways; condition coverage requires each sub-condition tested independently, catching logic bugs that short-circuit evaluation would otherwise hide. For API-driven codebases, Keploy surfaces both condition and…

What is unit testing anyways?
Introduction Unit testing is a technique that emphasizes testing a particular piece of code. It is mainly done to check the functionality of a block of code, that is, to confirm the code does what you expect it to do. But does that mean we have to test every functionality individually? An application has numerous…
