Recovery Testing
The process of evaluating how software recovers from crashes, failures, or other disruptions under load. It involves simulating failures to assess the software’s ability to restore functionality and performance, and measuring the time and effectiveness of the recovery process.
Retesting
The process of rerunning previously executed tests to verify that issues have been fixed and there are no new defects.
RDP
Remote Desktop Protocol by Microsoft that enables users to remotely access and control a computer or virtual machine over a network connection with a graphical interface.
Ramp-down Period
The period, typically at the end of the test, when the load gradually decreases from a higher level to zero. However, there can be exceptions, such as during spike testing, where the load drops from a peak back to a previous stage level instead of going directly to zero.

Ramp-up Period
The period when the load gradually increases from one level to a higher level. There may be multiple ramp-up periods during a test, where the load rises incrementally from zero to the first stage, then to the next, and so on.
Quality Gates in Software Testing
Checkpoints prove that the software quality criteria are met within the exact step of the development process, at which point one can switch to the next phase.
Quality Control in Software Engineering
The process checks whether the Software meets quality requirements during its development life cycle.
Quality Assurance
QA checks the software’s ability to meet established and anticipated needs by verifying that it aligns with documented requirements and performs as expected through functional, usability, performance, security, and compatibility testing. QA also conducts regression and exploratory testing to ensure the software remains reliable after updates and can handle various real-world scenarios effectively. These comprehensive […]
