Üleminekustestis

Üleminekustestis, often translated as transition testing, is a type of software testing that focuses on evaluating the transition between different states or modes of a software system. It specifically examines how well a system handles changes in its operational status, user input, or data processing. The primary goal of transition testing is to ensure that these transitions are smooth, reliable, and do not introduce defects or unintended consequences into the system's behavior.

This testing is particularly relevant for systems that have distinct operational modes, such as a device that can switch between active and standby states, or software that has different user interfaces for administrators and regular users. It also applies to scenarios where data is transferred between different modules or components, or where a system moves from a normal operating state to an error state and back.

Key aspects evaluated during transition testing include checking for data integrity during the change, verifying that the system correctly adopts the characteristics of the new state, and confirming that it can revert to the previous state or another intended state without issues. This type of testing is crucial for systems where stability and predictable behavior during state changes are paramount to user experience and system functionality. It helps to uncover bugs that might only manifest when the system is switching contexts.
