Testing Phase in Software Engineering

Testing is one of the most important activities in software development. Let's understand more about Software testing in this blog.

Testing

Testing is the process of executing the program with the intention of finding gaps, or errors in the software.

According to IEEE standard, Testing can be defined as A process of analyzing a software item to detect the differences between existing and required conditions and to evaluate the features of the software.

Software testing is a process that ensures the correctness, completeness, and quality of developed software. It is performed with the intention of finding errors so that they could be corrected before the product is released to the end users.

Why Testing is important? | Importance of Testing

Testing improves the quality and reliability of the product.
Software that doesn’t work as expected will have a large negative impact on the developing organization.
In the case of safety-critical systems, if testing is not performed completely, then it may lead to injury or death even.
Testing improves the reputation of the organization because it builds confidence in the customer that we are delivering a quality product.

Test Life Cycle

Testing Methodology

Testing can be either manual or automated.

Manual Testing It is a method of testing where it is done manually.
Automated Testing Some of teh automated testing tools are - Java->JUNIT ,.Net->N UNIT ,C UNIT, Bugzilla is an example for defect tracking tool.

Levels of Testing
