EBITDA

EBITDA - Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortisation. Interest: the company would have borrowed money. This is the amount it needs to pay back. Taxes: the company owes the government some taxes. Depreciation: the company owns assets. These would differ from industry to industry. But the assets lose value over time. Like say a company car – it would lose its value with time. Companies have machinery, vehicles, computers, and even furniture that lose value with time. Amortization: this refers to the cost of intangible assets like patents, copyrights, etc.

Types of software Testing

Software Testing Types: Black box testing – Internal system design is not considered in this type of testing. Tests are based on requirements and functionality. White box testing – This testing is based on knowledge of the internal logic of an application’s code. Also known as Glass box Testing. Internal software and code working should be known for this type of testing. Tests are based on coverage of code statements, branches, paths, conditions. Unit testing – Testing of individual software components or modules. Typically done by the programmer and not by testers, as it requires detailed knowledge of the internal program design and code. may require developing test driver modules or test harnesses. Incremental integration testing – Bottom up approach for testing i.e continuous testing of an application as new functionality is added; Application functionality and modules should be independent enough to test separately. done by programmers or by testers.
