Exact Difference between GUI Testing and Usability Testing


                    GUI Testing
                     Usability testing
1. In GUI Testing tester tests the application front end design to see whether its meets the client requirements or not.
1. In Usability Testing tester tests that whether the application is user friendly or not by checking how easily user can access the application.
2. In GUI Testing we check whether the design and layout of application as per the standards and client requirements or not.
2. In Usability Testing we check whether the design and layout of application is easy to use or not means it is user friendly or not.
3. GUI Testing is more concerned with look and feel of the application means how people react and feel after look in to the application so its testing is done accordingly that.
3. Usability Testing is more concerned with easiness and user friendliness of the application means how people react after using the application means application is easy to use or not so it’s testing is done accordingly that.
4. In GUI Testing tester tests the appearance of the software.
4. In Usability Testing tester tests the easiness to use the software.
5. GUI Testing is done to ensure it meets the design specifications like links, colors, fonts, font sizes, fields etc are displayed as specified in SRS or as specified in client requirements.
5. Usability Testing is done to ensure that the GUI is well designed and easy to use like links and buttons are easily clickable and leaving any of the mandatory field blank gives the proper message that please enter the xyz in mandatory field.
6. GUI Testing is done by keeping in mind the look and feel of application means how application looks.
6. Usability Testing is done by keeping the end user in mind.
7. It stands for Graphical User Interface. It is nothing its only confirm the design specifications with the application.
7. It is done to ensure that the GUI is well designed and easy to use.
8. It is done on different platforms to verify the Look and Feel Testing. (Look and Feel of the application).
8. It is done to verify how much the application is user friendly to an end user.
9. In GUI Testing, tester test whether the front end design of the system is meeting with project standards or not.
9. In Usability Testing, tester tests whether the control flow of the system is convenient for end user or not.
10. In this testing we just test the appearance of the application.
10. In this testing we test the interaction of functionality with the user is effective or not.
11. Example: Example includes colors, fonts, font sizes, buttons, links, icons, placement of data labels and fields etc. are displayed as specified or not.
11. Example: Example includes firstly displayed all mandatory fields, cursor positioning for enter the data into the right field, tab button should work easily etc.
12. In GUI Testing we only focus on the interface of the application.
12. Quality of product is depending on Usability Testing.
13. In this testing we test only the front end of the application.
13. In this Testing we test the overall working of application according to a non-technical user’s point of view.

Difference Between Verification And Validation With Example?

Verification and Validation example is also given just below to this table.                Verification               Validation 1. Verification is a static practice of verifying documents, design, code and program. 1. Validation is a dynamic mechanism of validating and testing the actual product. 2. It does not involve executing the code. 2. It always involves executing the code. 3. It is human based checking of documents and files. 3. It is computer based execution of program. 4.  Verification uses methods like inspections, reviews, walkthroughs, and Desk-checking etc. 4.  Validation uses methods like black box (functional)  testing, gray box testing, and white box (structural) testing etc. 5.  Verification  is to check whether the softwar...

Regression Testing with Example and Strategies

Regression Testing is done to ensure that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the modules and also the functionality of the same module. In short you can say regression testing  is always done to verify that modified code does not break the existing functionality of the application and works within the requirements of the system. Regression Testing Example  For Example there are three Modules in the Project named Admin Module, Personal Information, and Employment Module and suppose bug occurs in the Admin Module like on Admin Module existing User is not able to login with valid login credentials so this is the bug.  Now Testing team sends the above - mentioned Bug to the Development team to fix it and when development team fixes the Bug and hand over to Testing team than testing team checks that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the other modules (Admin, PI, Employment) and also the functionality of ...

Endurance Testing with Example, Meaning and Definition

Endurance Testing is a type of Performance Testing which is usually used to determine how much a system can sustain the continuous expected load. During the period of Endurance Testing memory utilization is always monitored to detect any potential leaks. In short we can say that judging/studying the memory leak of a server under the period of stability is known as Endurance Testing . Due to its judgment and study on memory leak that is the reason why Endurance Testing is also known by the name Soak Testing . As you know in Endurance Testing memory utilization is monitored so it very important for us to know about memory leak means what it is all about. When memory allocated to objects are not being freed by the system/application than definitely the memory leak occurs. Endurance Testing Example – Real Time Below is given the real time example of Endurance Testing and hope after seen these real time example your knowledge on Endurance Testing should definitely b...
