SOFTWARE TESTING

Software testing is the process of verifying a system with the purpose of identifying any errors, gaps or missing requirement versus the actual requirement. Software testing is broadly categorised into two types - functional testing and non-functional testing. Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its component(s) with the intent to find whether it satisfies the specified requirements or not. Testing is executing a system in order to identify any gaps, errors, or missing requirements in contrary to the actual requirements. This tutorial will give you a basic understanding on software testing, its types, methods, levels, and other related terminologies.

SOFTWARE TESTING FAQ'S

  1. Unit Testing.
  2. Integration Testing.
  3. System Testing.
  4. Sanity Testing.

Software testing is in demand. It is relatively easy to start a career in product/software testing. Testing tools are easy to learn. Software testing is an important process of the software development life cycle.

SDLC defines all the standard phases which are involved during the software development process, whereas the STLC process defines various activities to improve the quality of the product. SDLC is a Development Life Cycle whereas STLC is a Testing Life Cycle.

Manual testing is simply underappreciated today, and any self-respecting QA Engineer is forcefully being morphed into performing what many fail to realize is truly a software engineering effort of itself. At a high level, software QA as a guiding process is dying, though testing will always be needed.
