In software development, there is an old saying “A code that
cannot be tested is flawed”. Testing plays a very crucial role in software
development, life cycle. This is one of the practice that is commonly used to
produce a high quality software product. Testing itself is a separate phase in
SDLC (software evelopment life cycle), but it is not isolated from development
process i.e. coding and testing are inseparable components of software
development, and are very closely connected with each other. The best results
will be obtained when programmers and testers work head to head with each other.
Several popular testing approaches are followed for effectively
design and producing a software solution. One of them is Extreme Programming. In
Extreme Programming, the testing code is written and developed before
writing the real code.
These approach help us tackling the problems easily and reduce
the chances of errors in the system. One of the similar approach is followed in
agile development, here we write high level test cases first before even
starting the coding. This is a very effective approach no
matter what development methodology is used by the developers. Testing help
experts and business analysts to clarify the requirement for a particular
feature or piece of functionality (module).
When the coder start developing the module, the tester start
creating the scenarios for the desired result as expected by the client. They
design test cases to test all parameters like behavior, functionality, logic, performance etc.Tester
use various techniques to execute these cases. Commonly they manually execute
all the steps and verify the modules. Sometimes they use automation tools and
techniques to execute the test cases automatically.
Automation testing is very popular nowadays
because it’s more efficient and saves valuable time for the testers. With
automation testing we can explore different levels in product satisfaction and
solution development.We use certain tools for automation testing and write
scripts for execution. Throughout the software development, process the testers
work parallel with the developers to write test cases, write code, more test
cases, and more code iteratively and so on until the desired requirements are
met and the product or software is released.
Mind Stick developers understand your company's
unique requirements and design and build simple and convenient applications
that help employees manage documentation, process, and workflows.
The use of the term "technology" has changed
significantly over the last 200 years. Technology can be most broadly defined
as the entities, both material and immaterial, created by the application of
mental and physical effort in order to achieve some value. In this usage,
technology refers to tools and machines that may be used to solve real-world
