We should know that why testing is required, limitations of
testing, objective of testing and purpose.
In this topic we will cover the
principles behind testing, the process followed by tester and some of the
psychological factors that testers consider in their work.
WHY IS TESTING REQUIRED?
In this section we will discuss on why testing matters. We will get to know that how software defects or bugs can cause problems for the software or a company.
For a moment, let's take a
simple everyday example: 'when we test something we check that whether it is
OK'. We will need to refine the definition of software testing later.
Testing is required because
mistakes can be done by anybody. Some of the mistakes are not important, on the
other hand some of the mistakes can be dangerous or expensive. We need to check
that everything and anything that we produce because of the things can always
go incorrectly. Humans make mistakes at all times- it is the thing what we do
best!.
As we should assume that our work contains mistakes, we all should
need to check our own work. However some mistakes also come from wrong
assumptions and blind spots, that’s why we might commit the same mistake while
checking our own work.
In an ideal scenario we should get some other person to check out work, another person checking your work have high chances of spotting the flaws.
