Software testing has always been an important part of custom software development. Software testing is a process that evaluates the capability of a program or system to determine whether it can deliver the defined results. While identifying errors or "bugs" during the process of software testing, this process is also important for a number of other reasons.
Software testing has traditionally been divided into two methods-
- White-box testing, also known as clear or glass box, tests the internal structures or workings of a program as opposed to the functionality exposed to the end user.
- Black-box testing, that examines the functionality of an application without peering into its internal structures or workings.
Practices to be followed in Software testing:
Give early feedback - Test engineers should be involved early in the development process to provide feedback on a wide variety of factors including scope, architecture and sustainability as it relates to software development.
Allow team to work fast - Test engineers should be responsible for the product's automated test framework by responding to the needs of the development team.
Inspire creativity - Test engineers improve the test process by adding in new ideas for test cases. By adding new ideas for cases, software engineers can approach problems in an innovative fashion.
Test flexibility- Test engineers emphasis exploratory testing and serve as a clear set of eyes when the development team needs quick feedback.
Helps in Customer Support - As issues arise from areas like customer support, test engineers can assess urgency from the client and prioritize the severity and risk. This will allow software developers to focus on fixing defects.
Merge development and test - Teams will grow and retain talent by sharing responsibilities across the team.
