What are the types Of Integration Testing?

Big-bang Integration (non-incremental)
  • All components are combined in advance.
  • Correction is difficult because isolation of causes is complicated
  • Incremental Integration
  • Incremental integration can be defined as continuous testing of an
  • application by constructing and testing small components.
Top-Down Strategy
It is an incremental approach which can be done Depth-first or Breadth First
Stubs are used until the actual program is ready
Bottom-up Strategy
Process starts with low level modules where critical modules are built first
Cluster approach and test drivers are used
Often works well in less structured applications
