What is incremental integration testing?
Continuous testing of an application as new functionality is added; requires that various aspects of an application's functionality be independent enough to work separately before all parts of the program are completed, or that test drivers or test stubs be developed as needed; done by programmers or by testers.

What is installation testing and how is it performed?
Installation testing is often the most under tested area in testing. This type of testing is performed to ensure that all Installed features and options function properly. It is also performed to verify that all necessary components of the application are, indeed, installed.
Installation testing should take care of the following points: -

The product should check for the version of the same product on the target machine, say the previous version should not be over installed on the newer version.3. Installer should give a default installation path say “C:\programs\.”4. Installer should allow user to install at location other then the default installation path.5. Check if the product can be installed “Over the Network”6. Installation should start automatically when the CD is inserted.7. Installer should give the remove / Repair options.8.
