Asynchronous (Async) Requests

Asynchronous is a form of input/output processing that permits other processing to continue before the transmission has finished. Asynchronous is used to improve throughput, latency, and/or responsiveness.

Property Lists

A structured data representation used by Cocoa as a convenient way to store, organize, and access standard types of data, it's used extensively by applications and other software on OS X and iOS.

Unit testing

A process in programming, allowing to check the correctness of a unit of source code. It is used to write tests for each non-trivial function or method. This allows you to check whether the next change in the code led to errors in the already tested locations of the program.

E2E-tests

End-To-End Tests is a framework used to test whether the flow of an application is performing as designed from start to finish, from the point of view of the end user. End to End Testing is usually executed after Functional and System Testing.

Load testing

A type of performance testing used to determine a system's behavior under load conditions, allows subjecting a network or application to a work level approaching the limits of its specifications.

Stress testing

A kind of software testing that assesses the reliability and stability of the system in conditions of exceeding the limits of normal operation. It better detects the stability, availability and handling of exceptions by the system under heavy load.

Performance testing

Testing, which is conducted to determine how quickly the computer system or part of it under a certain load. It can also serve to verify and confirm other attributes of system quality, such as scalability, reliability and resource consumption.

Regression testing

A type of software testing aimed at detecting errors in the already tested areas of the source code. When, after making changes to the program, the work ceases to work, which should continue to work.

Functional testing

A type of software testing in order to verify the feasibility of functional requirements, that is, the ability of software in certain conditions to solve the tasks necessary for users. Using functional testing determine the correct operation of the software.

Security testing

The process of testing the security of the functioning of software and hardware, from design to testing of finished products. This process includes risk assessment, vulnerability scanning, code monitoring, stress testing, and iterates these processes.

Automation Testing

A software verification process in which the basic functions and test steps, such as starting, initializing, executing, analyzing and outputting the result, are performed automatically using tools for automated testing.

Cross-browser testing

A type of software testing that tests web projects across different browsers, maintain different types of code and fixing the problems, popular cross-browser tests are: Browsershots, Browser Sandbox, Webshot, Browsera, etc.

Baseline testing

A type of non-functional testing which is generally performed by testing engineers. As this is related to benchmarking, it is also known as benchmark testing. This test forms the base for other testing to compare the performance of a new application or unknown application with a known standard of reference.

Endurance Testing

A type of software testing used to analyze the behavior of the system under sustained use and with a load extended over a significant period of time. During this tests, the load may vary based on the model that is executed.

Black-box testing

The method of testing the functional behavior of the system from the point of view of the external world, in which knowledge of the internal arrangement of the tested object is not used. Under the strategy is meant systematic methods of selecting and creating tests for the test suite.

VSTS

Stands for Visual Studio Team Services. It is the online version of Team Foundation Server, an IDE developed by Microsoft that allows to encompass development teams. It provides special roles and tools for software architects, developer specialties and testers.

STS

Stands for Spring Tool Suite. An Eclipse-based development environment. Provides support for developing Spring-based enterprise applications. It also includes integration for Pivotal tc Server, Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Git, Maven, and AspectJ.
