### 6. **Unit Testing**

Unit testing involves testing individual components or functions of a software application in isolation to verify that they work as expected.

### 7. **Mocking**

Mocking is a technique used in testing to simulate the behavior of real components (like databases or APIs) so that the code can be tested in isolation.

### 8. **Latency**

Latency is the time delay between a user action and the corresponding response from the system. In APIs, it's the time taken to get a response after a request.

### 9. **Regression Testing**

Regression testing ensures that new code changes haven’t unintentionally affected existing functionality.

### 10. **Test Coverage**

Test coverage is a measure of how much of your codebase is covered by automated tests, indicating the thoroughness of testing.
