Differences and concepts between software testing and hardware testing

Similar points
It is mainly classified into the following points:
1. Test process
A product is handed over to you, the preparations before the test (environment,data, tools, people, tasks, etc.)
The general process is as follows:

2. Defect Process Management
Submit Defects > Confirm Defects > Track Defects > Close Defects)
3. Ability to identify and analyze problems
If a junior tester has the ability to observe and identify problems keenly, then the advantage will be obvious in the initial stage, and the ability to analyze problems after gradual growth.When encountering a problem, how to quickly locate whether it is a valid defect or an invalid problem (mainly for the comparison of requirements, environmental verification, understanding of the way the system works, the way the background data runs, etc.)
Similarities and differencesstrong>
It is mainly classified into the following points:
1. Different test purposes
Hardware test: mainly to ensure the reliability of the hardware and the correctness and accuracy of the connection relationship between the hardware and the hardware.
Software testing: mainly to ensure the correctness of the software process and the correct application logic relationship.
2. Different test methods
Hardware test: mainly for the test of the hardware itself and the environment, such as aging test, life test, failure rate test, etc.
Software testing: mainly by controlling the input of the software, so as to achieve different test results, and compare whether the test is correct and accurate through the difference between the input and output.
3. Different test tools
Hardware test: more is to use hardware, such as various measuring instruments, oscilloscope and so on.
Software testing: Relatively speaking, they are all performed using software, such as the packet capture tool Fiddler, the stress testing tool Jmeter, and the interface testing tool PostMan.
4. The stability of the test results is different
Hardware test: It is possible to have different test results under the same conditions (such as the same temperature)
Software test: If the input is the same, if no randomness is introduceddata, the output is the same.
