All You Need To Know About Software Testing

Neerav Mehta

Founder & CEO

For years, testing has played a vital role in determining the quality and effectiveness of applications around the world. Here is a fact – without the right testing processes, a development company will have no clue about how well its application will fare in the market.

Benefits Of Software Testing

There are a lot of processes involved in the making of an application. Coding, design and several other aspects of product development are performed by following stringent deadlines.

Very often, clients request to have as many features packed into one application. This has its drawbacks, especially if deadlines are tight. What happens is that several bugs creep into the final software version. These bugs end up severely impacting user experience, with your brand being hit hard as well.

The solution ahead is to ensure testing is introduced at every important stage of a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This will prevent eruption of critical bugs at the latter stages of product development.

Testing origins

The advent of software in the 1950s brought about the need for a potent tool to test for errors. Debugging was the first step in this direction. Every single line of code was gone through in detail to eradicate bugs. In those days, the testing process would be as cumbersome as the development ones!

Things have changed for the better. Today, the world relies on automated testing tools to build world-class software that can easily beat competition.

Types of Testing

There are a lot of hackers looking forward to take advantage of vulnerable areas in your code. Make sure you are prepared against threats by building an application that's based on powerful testing techniques.

Here are some of the most important types of testing processes:

  1. White Box Testing: This form of testing pays attention in great detail to the inner core of an application. Code and design is tested in great detail as part of this testing process. A tester involved in this form of testing should have good knowledge of the code and implementation process involved in the development of the product.
  • Unit Testing: A unit test is called so because it splits code or functions into smaller units that can be tested. Unit testing is performed to verify how well such code works in isolation.
  • Integration Testing: This form of testing takes Unit Testing to another level. Code units are integrated with each other and treated as bigger groups. These groups are then tested to verify how they will perform in an environment that has a network and other system components.
  1. Black Box Testing: This form of testing deals only with the functionality of software and doesn't delve too much into the inner core and how it was built. Black box testing can also be performed on units as long as there is no examination of internal code/functionality involved.
  • System Testing: Here is where a thorough testing of the software as a whole is done. Does the final application meet pre-determined requirements? Does the application’s performance meet pre-determined standards? These are some of the questions that are answered during this form of testing.
  • Acceptance Testing: This is the final stage in the testing process and determines whether the application is set for delivery. Testing is performed keeping user needs in mind and how well they will adjust to the system.
