Manual testing challenges:

1) Testing the complete application:
2) Misunderstanding of company processes:
3) Relationship with developers:
4) Regression testing
5) Testing always under time constraint:
6) Which tests to execute first
7) Automation testing:
8) The decision to stop the testing:
9) One test team under multiple projects:
10) Reuse of Test scripts:
11) Testers focusing on finding easy bugs:
12) Different Time zones:
13) No documentation
14) Unstable environment:
15) Tools being force-fed:
16) Lack of communication/resources

Top Software Testing Challenges in 2019

 Increasing adoption of Open-Source

 Develop skills for Agile and DevOps

 Learn Coding and work along with Developers

 Adopt and Accept Test Automation over Manual Testing

 Dealing with the rapid changes in Web & Mobile Technologies

  Think beyond Testing, get logical

 Working in the realm of Social Networking

 Build processes for offering Customer support

 Report for future reference

These could be some top challenges that testers might face while building the right strategy and
harnessing the required skills. However, overcoming these challenges will help testers to move
beyond the mundane testing activity and leapfrog into a strategic position in the overall software
development cycle.

There are more than 200 different types of testing, and many stakeholders in testing--
including the testers themselves and test managers--are often largely unaware of them or
do not know how to perform them. Similarly, test planning frequently overlooks important
types of testing. The primary goal of this is to raise awareness of the large number of test
types, to verify adequate completeness of test planning, and to better guide the testing
process. 15 subtypes of testing were organized around how they addressed
what, when, why, who, where, how, and how well.

What-Based test types include all of the different types of testing that deal with the question
"What is being tested?"
Incremental Testingis based on the realization that most systems and software programs
are too big and complex to be developed and tested in a "big bang" manner.
 Spiral Testing is based on a system that is developed and tested in a relatively small
number of mid-sized iterative increments.
 Continuous Testing(CT) is based on a much more evolutionary development cycle
that includes numerous, short duration, iterative increments during which testing is
essentially continuous. CT comes in the following two types:
o Agile testing performs developmental testing (DT) in a continuous manner.
o DevOps testing extends Agile testing by adding operational testing (OT) and
integrating DT and OT.
