Bottom Up Testing is an approach to integrated testing where
the lowest level components are tested first, then used to facilitate
the testing of higher level components. The process is repeated until
the component at the top of the hierarchy is tested.
All the bottom or low-level modules, procedures or functions are
integrated and then tested. After the integration testing of lower level
integrated modules, the next level of modules will be formed and can be
used for integration testing. This approach is helpful only when all or
most of the modules of the same development level are ready. This
method also helps to determine the levels of software developed and
makes it easier to report testing progress in the form of a percentage.
Top Down Testing is an approach to integrated testing where
the top integrated modules are tested and the branch of the module is
tested step by step until the end of the related module.
Sandwich Testing is an approach to combine top down testing with bottom up testing.
The main advantage of the Bottom-Up approach is that bugs are more easily found.
With Top-Down, it is easier to find a missing branch link.
