Traditional Testing
Traditional Testing is a software testing methodology that follows a sequential, phase-based approach, typically aligned with the Waterfall development model. It involves testing activities such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing, often conducted after development is complete. This method relies on detailed test plans, manual execution, and formal documentation to ensure software quality.
Developers should learn Traditional Testing when working in regulated industries like healthcare or finance, where strict compliance and documentation are required. It is also useful for large-scale, long-term projects with stable requirements, as it provides a structured framework for validation and verification. This approach helps in identifying defects early in the lifecycle, though it can be less flexible compared to agile methods.
