Software testing is an important process involved in software development; it is part of the software quality management processes. Testing aims to verify and validate the software. Software verification makes it possible to check that the software produced complies with the specifications.
Why Is Testing Needed?
- Shifts work from developers to testers.
- Accelerates the software development process.
- Ensures high software quality by eliminating errors.
- Provides an external look at the application.
Testing checks the quality of the software and products that we produce. The automated tester, for example, is designed to reduce the burden resting on the shoulders of developers. In some companies, the testing department is completely ignored, and, in such circumstances, it is only the developers who create the tests. In this case, when developers maintain the tests, it can be very time-consuming because they also have to maintain the code or documentation.
