What is software testing?
Software testing is the process used to help identify the correctness, completeness, security, and quality of developed computer software.
Testing involves operation of a system or application under controlled conditions and evaluating the results. Controlled conditions should include both normal and abnormal
Why Management some times not serious about testing?
Solving problems is a high-visibility process; preventing problems is low-visibility.
What is verification?
Verification ensures the product is designed to deliver all functionality to the customer; it typically involves reviews and meetings to evaluate documents, plans, code, requirements and specifications; this can be done …show more content…
• Negotiate to allow only easily implemented new requirements into the project; move more difficult, new requirements into future versions of the application.
• Ensure customers and management understand scheduling impacts, inherent risks and costs of significant requirements changes. Then let management or the customers decide if the changes are warranted; after all, that's their job.
• Balance the effort put into setting up automated testing with the expected effort required to redo them to deal with changes.
• Design some flexibility into automated test scripts;
• Focus initial automated testing on application aspects that are most likely to remain unchanged;
• Devote appropriate effort to risk analysis of changes, in order to minimize regression-testing needs;
• Design some flexibility into test cases; this is not easily done; the best bet is to minimize the detail in the test cases, or set up only higher-level generic-type test plans;
• Focus less on detailed test plans and test cases and more on ad-hoc testing with an understanding of the added risk this entails.
What if the application has functionality that wasn't in the
