Test passif

Qu'est-ce que le test passif?

Le test passif est une technique de test logiciel qui observe le système sans interaction. D'autre part, les tests actifs impliquent une interaction avec le système.

Test actif vs passif:

Consider a password based authentication system. Password testing is performed to check if the user can login using easy passwords. Upon successful login the program might mail or write a success message the sys admin. This testing is active testing. Passive testing in this case, involves testing of the password file protection and comparing the encrypted strings.
