INTRODUCTION
Testing is a process used to help identify the
correctness, completeness and quality of
developed computer software. With that in
mind, testing can never completely establish
the correctness of computer software.
There are many approaches to software testing
from using alm tools to automated testing, but
effective testing of complex products is
essentially a process of investigation, not
merely a matter of creating and following rote
procedure.
WHAT IS SOFTWARE
TESTING?
Executing software in a simulated or
real environment, using inputs selected
somehow.
OBJECTIVES OF TESTING
Uncover as many as errors (or bugs) as possible in a
given product.
Demonstrate a given software product matching its
requirement specifications.
Validate the quality of a software testing using the
minimum cost and efforts.
Generate high quality test cases, perform effective tests,
and issue correct and helpful problem reports.
ERROR, BUG, FAULT &
FAILURE
Error : It is a human action that produces the
incorrect result that produces a fault.
Bug : The presence of error at the time of execution
of the software.
Fault : State of software caused by an error.
Failure : Deviation of the software from its expected
result. It is an event.
GOALS OF TESTING
Detect faults
Establish confidence in software
Evaluate properties of software
Reliability
Performance
Memory Usage
Security
Usability
TESTING
METHODOLOGIES
White box testing
Black-box testing
White box testing
Knowledge of the internal program design and
code required.
Tests are based on coverage of code
statements, branches, paths, conditions.
Black box testing
No knowledge of internal program design or code
required.
Tests are based on requirements and functionality.
WHITE-BOX TESTING
Test data
Tests Derives

SOFTWARE TESTING LIFECYCLE -
PHASES
• Requirements study
• Test Case Design and Development
• Test Execution
• Test Closure
• Test Process Analysis
REQUIREMENTS STUDY
Testing Cycle starts with the study of client’s
requirements.
Understanding of the requirements is very
essential for testing the product.
CONCLUSION
In order to be cost effective, the testing must be
concentrated on areas where it will be most
effective.
The testing should be planned such that when
testing is stopped for whatever reason, the most
effective testing in the time allotted has already
been done.
The absence of an organizational testing policy
may result in too much effort and money will be
spent on testing, attempting to achieve a level of
quality that is impossible or unnecessary.
