Some of the significant difference between positive and negative testing is discussed in the following table:

S.No.	Positive Testing	Negative Testing
1.	Checking the application response with the help of valid input data is known as positive testing.	Checking the application response by using the invalid input data set is known as negative testing.
2.	Positive testing is implemented only for the expected conditions.	Negative testing is implemented only for unexpected conditions.
3.	Positive testing doesn’t guarantee a good quality of software product.	Negative testing guarantees to deliver a good quality of software product.
4.	The execution of positive testing takes less time as compared to negative testing.	The execution of positive testing takes more time as compared to positive testing.
5.	To validate the available set of test conditions, we will consistently implement the Positive testing.	To break the project and product with an unidentified set of test conditions, we will consistently implement Negative testing.
6.	The primary purpose of executing Positive testing is to guarantee that the software application always meets the developer’s requirements and specifications.	The primary purpose of executing the negative testing is to test a web application’s constancy in contradiction to inaccurate validation data sets.
7.	Positive testing doesn’t encompass all the possible cases.	Negative testing encompasses all the possible cases.
8.	It is a process where the system is validated in contradiction of the valid input data.	It is a testing process which contain the validation in contrast to invalid input data.
9.	Positive testing is less significant than Negative testing.	Negative testing is more vital than Positive testing.
10.	Positive testing can be implemented on every application.	Negative testing can be implemented when the possibilities of unpredicted conditions.
11.	The people having less knowledge can execute the positive testing.	The testing professionals can execute the negative testing.
12.	It makes sure that the software is standard.	Negative testing makes sure to deliver 100 percent bug-free software.
