Thanks for being with me always.

1. UT(Unit Test)

Unit tests are typically written and run by software developers. They should ensure that the code work as design and there is no functional defects. So, once the code changed, Unit Test is needed.

2. BVT(Build Verification Test)

After all developers' code is ready, they can delivery a build for test team. Before the delivery, they should do the BVT.It is a set of tests run on each new build to verify that the build is testable before the build is released into the hands of the test team. It includes some main features.

3. FVT(Function Verification Test)

1)test case for user story. Test design for all user stories and features. Generally, there are several sprints to finish the functions for developers. Testers should design test cases and test scripts for each test story. Once implemented, test team enters the functional test.

2)GVT(Globalization Test) if needed

3)AVT(Accessibility Test) if needed

4. SVT(System Verification Test)

After all features are implemented, it will enter the SVT phase. 

1)Install/Upgrade

• Installation environment. Hardware/Version/OS
• Product setup. 
• Upgrade. Data lose/move/error

2)End-to-End

Complex and exploratory testing on the core functionality will be designed. All the features should be included in this test section.

3)Performance/Scalability

• concurrence control
• response time

4)Load/Stress

• high concurrence

5)RAS(Reliability, Availability and Serviceability)

• shut down 
• disconnect the network
• recovery
• server down
• hardware down
• response error

6)Security 

IBM Rational AppScan

7)Documentation

• doc consistency
• validity
• consistency with actual function
• version overview
• introduction
• pictures
• steps

8)Usability

Should check with related specialized department.

9)Regression

Choose some core cases from end-to-end test.

Auto test: using Python to call curl cmd for REST API regression test.
