Software testing

Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the software product or service under test.[1] Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation. Test techniques include the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects), and verifying that the software product is fit for use. Software testing involves the execution of a software component or system component to evaluate one or more properties of interest. meets the requirements that guided its design and development,responds correctly to all kinds of inputs,performs its functions within an acceptable time,is sufficiently usable,can be installed and run in its intended environments, andachieves the general result its stakeholders desire.

Intro to SW Test Automation Today,‘Test automation’ is a much talked about topic in the world of software testing and quality. In this article Saket Godase discusses the basics of test automation. What is test automation? He looks at the types oftest automation and also discusses the various myths about test automation. An Introduction to Software Test Automation Abstract Thisarticle is an introduction to software test automation and will serveas a tutorial to the testers who are new to Test Automation. Software TestingThough there are many formal definitions of software testing it basically boils down to “Software testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software.”In reality, testing can never establish the correctness of the software. Manual Testing –is defined as developing and executing tests that rely primarily ondirect human interaction throughout the entire test case, especially interms of evaluating correctness and ascertaining test status. 1. 2.

Oh, shit, git! FitNesse Unit testing In computer programming, unit testing is a method by which individual units of source code, sets of one or more computer program modules together with associated control data, usage procedures, and operating procedures are tested to determine if they are fit for use.[1] Intuitively, one can view a unit as the smallest testable part of an application. In procedural programming, a unit could be an entire module, but it is more commonly an individual function or procedure. In object-oriented programming, a unit is often an entire interface, such as a class, but could be an individual method.[2] Unit tests are short code fragments[3] created by programmers or occasionally by white box testers during the development process. Ideally, each test case is independent from the others. Substitutes such as method stubs, mock objects,[4] fakes, and test harnesses can be used to assist testing a module in isolation.
