The software testing can also be classified as two types of testing one is positive testing and negative testing<\/a>. Positive testing is the application functions as expected valid data sets. If\u00a0 an error occurs during positive testing the test fails. In the Negative Testing<\/a>, the application handles the unexpected\u00a0 behaviour or invalid input. For example if a user tries to type a wrong data in the field it would display a correct message for incorrect data. The quality of the application improves due to the negative testing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Negative testing<\/a> is detecting the possible software crashes in different situations,\u00a0 such as<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Populating required fields<\/li>\n
  2. Correspondence between data and field types<\/li>\n
  3. Allowed number of characters<\/li>\n
  4. Allowed data bounds and limits<\/li>\n
  5. Reasonable data<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    For example\u00a0 the functioning of a lift in real life. When the people enter and press the floor button automatically the lift is made to move to the required floor. If the number of people exceed in the lift, if a power failure happens during the lift functions – all these cases are included in negative testing. Negative testing is important in the organisation\u2019s perspective because it is the responsibility of every organisation to build\u00a0 a good quality product to the customer. To achieve this we conduct the negative testing<\/p>\n

    Negative testing characteristics are:<\/p>\n
