“Testing helps in making a product perfect”
The word ‘Testing’ has its importance and existence on each and every process of manufacturing a product and the objective of ‘Testing’ is to check the quality with several parameters.
Similarly, the process “Software Testing” is made by two individual words i.e. Software + Testing. It is a process of to test any software or any application with the intent of finding the defect, error, bug, failure and fault in order to ensure that the application performance is up to the mark in variety of execution environments.
Software is a virtual product which runs on a standalone computer or on the server. Now a day’s much software are cloud based which are accessible & usable by the user through internet. So it is quite necessary to ensure that a software product runs smoothly and bug free and so can be done through ‘Software Testing’ on each of the phase of software development life cycle.
In brief, Software Testing is a method to test any Web Application or Website or Software. And it is must to remember that it’s not just one time process.
There are two ways to perform Software Testing:
Manual Testing: In Manual testing, a tester performs testing by creating several test cases which are based upon the functional & non functional requirements of a software product or a website. In this process, testers play the role of an end user and test the web application or software with the intent of finding defects & bugs.
Automation Testing: Automation testing is a process of testing a software or application through a Testing software, where tester input certain test oracles in to the testing software and expects the predictive output in result.
Apart from this, we can divide the manual testing into several sub processes like Graphical User interface testing (GUI), performance testing, functional testing, security testing and few more can be there depending upon the nature of software or web application.
Among all, the primary testing phase is GUI testing because this is the one by which a novice user will interact through the software or web application. GUI is much more important in web /cloud based application or website which is commonly being used by variety of devices.
The term Web / cloud applications or web means which runs through a server and accessible at clients machine / devices and these are developed on programming languages like ASP.net, Java, PHP, HTML, JavaScript, CSS and nowadays many new web programming languages are in trend like Angular JS, Node JS, Metior JS etc.
In the next blog, we’ll share more information focused on GUI testing, so keep visited our website.
