What is the difference between UI/GUI testing, functional testing and E2E testing?


I would say that all three are the same, but I wonder if there is small differences between them. In the end, what I think is that you are testing user scenarios on all of them.


Solution

  • UI testing: user interface testing. In other words, you have to make sure that all buttons, fields, labels and other elements on the screen work as assumed in a specification.

    GUI testing: graphical user interface. You have to make sure that all elements on the screen work as mentioned in a specification and also color, font, element size and other similar stuff match design.

    Functional testing: the process of quality assurance of a product that assumes the testing of the functions/functionalities of component or system in general, according to specification requirements.

    E2E testing: it needs for identifying system dependencies and ensuring that the right information is passed through multiple components and systems.
