Release Testing

Release testing is the process of validating that a specific software release meets requirements before release to end users. It is performed after development to detect defects, ensure compatibility with different environments, and validate functionality. The benefits include improved quality, decreased risks, and increased customer satisfaction.

Release Testing

Release testing is the process of authenticating that a specific release


of a software product fulfills the specified requirements.
It ensures that the release of a software product is “ready for release”
to the end users.
It is carried out to detect and eliminate any defects, bugs, or issues
that may have been left unattended during the development process.

Why Perform Release Testing?
• The key objective of a release test is to authenticate that the
software works as per plan and fulfills the stipulated requirements.

• It helps in identifying errors and eliminates the defects leading to


failures.

• Release test facilitates the implementation of tests at different


levels. Thus, it leads to fewer errors and also fulfills the customer’s
needs.

• It guarantees software compatibility with various hardware


configurations, operating systems, and other software products.

• It makes the software more reliable and stable and enhance


custumer satisfaction.
When should perform release testing
it must be performed at the completion of the software development cycle, shortly
before the software is released into the market.
Performing this testing just before the software release helps release tests resolve
detected issues and defects.
Types of Release Testing
Functional testing:
This testing validates the software system against the functional specifications. It
involves testing individual functionalities and features and testing the software
product overall.
Security testing:
It evaluates threats, vulnerabilities, and risks in a software application. It prevents
hackers from accessing crucial data before the software product is released.
Compatibility testing:
This release test technique checks whether software can operate on various
hardware, applications, browsers, mobile devices, network environments, or
operating systems.
Regression testing:
It helps validate that a code change in the software doesn’t influence the existing
utility of the software product.
