Why Test?


Why is software testing?
As a software tester, our goal is to find the defects in software. It requires creating and executing many tests.
It involves the following steps:
1.      Identifying the defects:
   The main purpose of software testing is to identify the defects.
   Defect – A flow in a component or system that can cause the component or system to fail to perform its required function.
2.      Isolate the defects:
   Isolating means separation or dividing the defects. These isolated defects are collected in the defect profile.
3.      Subjected for rectification:
   The defect profile is subjected for rectification means it is send to developer
4.      Defects are rectified:
   Before defining it as a quality product, make sure all the defects are rectified.

When all the steps are completed we can say that software testing is completed. So this is the process in which the defects are identified, isolated and subjected for rectification and finally make sure that all the defects are rectified in order to ensure that the product is a quality product.

What is Quality in Software Testing: - Justification of user requirements or satisfaction of user requirements.

  1. I think requirements is always important thing in testing process. Tester have to read requirement documents and able to understand it clearly.

    Software often have error due to not meet the application's requirement that result to communication error or no communication. It also affected by changing requirements.

  2. functional testing which is black box testing is performed by tester. Black box testing is not dealing with any idea of internal design or source code.

  3. White Box testing which requires knowledge of source code is worked by developer.
