Reducing the number of bugs that user can encounter and have as solid experience on your applications as possible.
Types of Testing
Different types of Testing serve different purposes in software development.
Unit Testing: This method is used to test separate and smallest unit of code sequences whether they are getting built as per design or not.
Integration Testing:- To test weather two are more components/modules interacting with each other.
System Testing: Test the entire system against the requirements specified.
Acceptance Testing: The goal of this testing type is to determine whether or not the application meets all user requirements.
Performance Testing: Measures the performance of a system under different load conditions.
Security Testing: For detecting and resolving security vulnerabilities.
Usability Testing: How easy the system to use is for the end user.
The Testing Process
The below are some of the normal processes in a testing workflow:
Test Planning: It involves setting scope, objectives and planning, etc. for the test.
Test Design: This includes writing test cases depending on the scenarios and edge conditions.
Executing test cases and save the results.
Test Reporting : Tracking and recording the reported results of test including defects or issues.
Test Analysis: Evaluating the results of a test, comparing them with expected or predicted outcomes for that particular product.
Defect Tracking To help in identifying, tracking and fixing of defects.
The Importance of Testing
This is where testing has a vital role to play in;
Quality Assurance – Making sure that the product or system is up to quality standard.
Risk Mitigation: Catching all the issues, that can happen beforehand and not let them reach to customers.
Customer Satisfaction: Deliver High Quality Product or Service.
Saves your time and money: Detect the error in early-stage then it saves a lot of cost.
Regulatory Compliance :After industry standards and regulations this step should be taken.
By implementing solid testing processes, businesses can improve the user experience for their consumers by ensuring that they ship high-quality, dependable products.
