Test Levels are organized groups of test activities, each representing a stage in the software development process, from testing individual components to complete systems or systems of systems.
In sequential models, each level’s exit criteria become the next level’s entry criteria. In iterative models, levels often overlap, with testing and development running in parallel.
Test Types, on the other hand, focus on specific quality aspects such as performance, security, or usability and can be applied at any test level.
Understanding the difference between Test Levels and Test Types helps teams build a more structured and effective testing strategy.
