Basically Under System testing(Black Box testing)

1)Usability testing:i)User Interface testing(ii)Manual Support testing

2)Functional testing:i)Funtionality testing(ii)Input domain testing(iii)Error handling...sanitation..compatibility..recovery..parallel...

3)Performance testing: Load...Stree...Volume

4)Security testing:Authentication..Access control...Encryption...

Black box test is broadly classified into 4 types:They are (a)Usability testing,(b)Functional testing,(c)Performance testing and (d)Security testing.(a)Usability testing is again divided into 2 types:i)User interface testing, ii)Manual support testing.(b)Functional testing is again divided into i)Functionality testing,ii)recovery testing,iii)input domain testing,iv)compatability testing,v)configuration testing,vi)ent-end testing,vii)parallel testing,viii)installation testing,ix)sanitation testing.(c)Performance testing of again 4 types:i)Load testing,ii)Stress testing,iii)Data volume testing and iv)Storage testing(d)Security testing is again of:i)Authorisation,ii)Access control,iii)Encryption & DecryptionUser Acceptance Testing:i)Alpha,ii)Beta testing

Various testing types that fall under the Black Box Testing strategy are: functional testing, stress testing, recovery testing, volume testing, User Acceptance Testing (also known as UAT), system testing, Sanity or Smoke testing, load testing, Usability testing, Exploratory testing, ad-hoc testing, alpha testing, beta testing etc.

These testing types are again divided in two groups: a) Testing in which user plays a role of tester and b) User is not required.

Testing method where user is not required:

Functional Testing:
In this type of testing, the software is tested for the functional requirements. The tests are written in order to check if the application behaves as expected.

Stress Testing:
The application is tested against heavy load such as complex numerical values, large number of inputs, large number of queries etc. which checks for the stress/load the applications can withstand.

Load Testing:
The application is tested against heavy loads or inputs such as testing of web sites in order to find out at what point the web-site/application fails or at what point its performance degrades.

Ad-hoc Testing:
This type of testing is done without any formal Test Plan or Test Case creation. Ad-hoc testing helps in deciding the scope and duration of the various other testing and it also helps testers in learning the application prior starting with any other testing.

Exploratory Testing:
This testing is similar to the ad-hoc testing and is done in order to learn/explore the application.

Usability Testing:
This testing is also called as ?Testing for User-Friendliness?. This testing is done if User Interface of the application stands an important consideration and needs to be specific for the specific type of user.

Smoke Testing:
This type of testing is also called sanity testing and is done in order to check if the application is ready for further major testing and is working properly without failing up to least expected level.

Recovery Testing:
Recovery testing is basically done in order to check how fast and better the application can recover against any type of crash or hardware failure etc. Type or extent of recovery is specified in the requirement specifications.

Volume Testing:
Volume testing is done against the efficiency of the application. Huge amount of data is processed through the application (which is being tested) in order to check the extreme limitations of the system.

Testing where user plays a role/user is required:

User Acceptance Testing:
In this type of testing, the software is handed over to the user in order to find out if the software meets the user expectations and works as it is expected to.

Alpha Testing:
In this type of testing, the users are invited at the development center where they use the application and the developers note every particular input or action carried out by the user. Any type of abnormal behavior of the system is noted and rectified by the developers.

Beta Testing:
In this type of testing, the software is distributed as a beta version to the users and users test the application at their sites. As the users explore the software, in case if any exception/defect occurs that is reported to the developers.
