Software testing is a crucial phase. The developmental phase of any software project helps developers find bugs and defects in the product. Apart from finding bugs, software testing also helps in finding defects in code and specifications.
Software testing is a process, carried out within a system, to give external users information about the capability of that particular software product or system under review.
This process is carried out by professionals who test the software products before selling them to clients and customers. Software testing is one of the most critical phases in any software development process and hence has to be done in the right manner.
The phases of Software testing process
-
Verify the functionality
In the first phase, testing is done to verify the functionality of the software as desired. During this stage, the software is downloaded to examine it and check for bugs and security flaws. A tester may, for example, examine a program that has been written by the programmer or one that has been developed using test automation tools. They will check if the programs or the websites, which the software will run, are capable of functioning properly. Testing, then, is done to validate or ensure that the program or website is working correctly.
