Negative and positive testing refers to a testing process that is always performed in collaboration. In both testing processes, the tester is dealing with inputs and outputs. Positive testing is focused on determining whether the system is working as it is supposed to. Whereas Negative testing is focused on determining whether the system does not do what it’s not supposed to do.
One of the most common types of negative testing is boundary testing. This system looks after the boundary conditions as they are the most common areas for error. The users have the freedom to enter anything they want to in the data fields. But, negative testing should always be performed to ensure that only valid inputs are accepted. Besides this, it must also make sure that a proper error message is shown when invalid data is used. Negative testing is capable of authenticating the software’s stability against several wrong influences.
