What are the different levels of testing?
In Software Development Life Cycle, there are mainly four testing levels –starting from Unit testing, followed by Integration testing, System testing, and finally user Acceptance testing.

When tester has partial knowledge of internal working and features of an application. Grey box testing is conducted to find defects due to code structure, improper functionality and missing condition in the feature. Various techniques used in grey box testing are Matrix testing, regression testing, orthogonal array testing, pattern testing.
When internal implementation and internal code structure are known to the tester, while testing an application, it is called white box testing. White box testing involves code veri fication for security holes, poorly structured code process path, data flow of inputs in code, conditional loop, testing of statement, object, and functions in each code class. …
When we test application without worrying or having knowledge about details of implementation, how internal code structure applied to software to achieve required output. it is called black box testing. This type of testing is carried out mainly by testers. Some of the testing techniques for black box testing are Equivalence Partitioning, Boundary Value Analysis, …
Vulnerability testing are assessment of software and underlined infrastructure, to reveal security loopholes or risks that are critical present in software due to which some loss should be incurred.Example – some application requires end user’s email address as username as log in credential,registering email can offer a risk of receiving unsolicited mails.
Acceptance testing is final level in software testing, where purpose of test is to anal yze if software features are in compliance with business requirement, and can we deliver to the client, does all features functions as expected, and with the features can we deploy software on production environment
Behavior driven testing focuses more on user behavior in certain conditions (say how printing a document in case he receives a message for “page area out of margin” =- how will he reacts…, normally) rather than technical functionality of software.
Negative test cases are performed to try break the system, by providing invalid data, or following path not proposed, main intension here is to uncover hidden defects, that are otherwise remain in the software.
positive test cases ensure that using valid data, application performs required output as expected or not. With positive test case, tester decides that feature provided works if provided with valid test data.
Test scenario is functionality or feature that can be tested. It also provides high level idea of what need to be tested, in order to create scenario we need set of test case s where we can understand features of application and any short comings of application.
