Description: Name Resolution Testing is a set of procedures designed to verify that software can correctly translate domain names into corresponding IP addresses. This process is fundamental to the architecture of the Internet, as it allows users to access websites using easy-to-remember names instead of numerical addresses. During these tests, the functionality of the Domain Name System (DNS) is evaluated, ensuring that queries made by the software return the correct responses and that communication between devices occurs without issues. Tests may include verifying name resolution at different levels, such as fully qualified domain names, subdomains, and reverse IP addresses. Additionally, performance tests can be conducted to assess how quickly names are resolved, as well as security tests to identify vulnerabilities in the resolution process. The importance of these tests lies in their ability to ensure a smooth and efficient user experience, preventing connectivity issues that could arise from incorrect name resolution. In an environment where availability and speed are crucial, Name Resolution Testing becomes an essential part of the software development lifecycle.
