Software Development in itself is a big challenge and in the present times the challenge is growing bigger and bigger, simply because software products are multifaceted, made to perform in multi-platforms environments. The pressures of increasing complexities and the ever changing environment are mounting constantly. To succeed it is imperative that quality software is developed and delivered. No company can afford to ‘cut a sorry figure’ or ‘tarnish its reputation’. It is here that Software testing comes into the picture and undoubtedly plays a crucial role. To prove a system, software testing is the only way out. Software testing in simple terms is to establish the worth of the software developed. Software testing is done in context with the efficiency, compatibility and...

The system is examined under controlled conditions. The basic orientation is detection of faults within the system. In this process, a program or an application is executed with the intentions of improving its quality. One strives to find the bugs within the software. As software industry has now grown in both size and complexity, so has its wide area of applications. We see soft wares in banking industry, in gaming industry, in management applications etc. Each has its own target customers and users. Before any software is launched, one must attempt to make an assessment as to its audience, customers, etc. The process of testing aims to aid in this regard. Verification and Validation Verification is a thwarting mechanism which helps in detection of all the possible weak points...

The only way to track the software quality is evaluating it at every stage of its development. It requires some kind of metrics, which is obtained through effective testing methods. Each stage of software testing is effectively monitored for the software QA. 1. Software measurements are used for: 2. Deriving basis for estimates 3. Tracking project progress 4. Determining (relative) complexity 5. Understanding the stage of desired quality 6. Analyzing defects 7. Validating best practices experimentally Here, some software testing metrics are proposed for black box testing that has real world applications. It discusses: Importance of software testing measurement Different techniques/processes for measuring software testing Metrics for analyzing testing Methods for measuring/computing the metrics Advantages of implementing these...

Automated testing is one of the most common software test approaches these days. With this, engineers would not have to perform tests or quality assurance manually. Nonetheless, automation of software test requires that a prior manual testing procedure should be set up and that this conforms to a formalized testing process. To automate the process, special software is used to control test executions, to ready pre-conditions or requirements for the test, and to compare actual outcomes to predicted results. While automated testing enables developers to save time and energy, manual testing is still needed for more complex tests. One of the testing methods that cannot be entirely automated is interface testing. Interface testing is one of the most important software tests in assuring the quality of software...

It can be regarded as a crucial phase in the Software Development Life Cycle. Testing pulls out all the drawbacks in the functioning of the software. Offshore software testing conducts a complete check on a product or a software and detects any unfinished gaps. It detects any potential problem in the most cost-effective way. A successful test will always unfold a problem that needs sorting.  Organizations and companies do not always have a resource team in-house to conduct a thorough and a professional test of the software. And a software cannot be released in the market without proper checking. This is where an offshore software testing company would step in. Offshore software testing involves a lot of different techniques to ensure a bug free output. Initially the individual modules of programs are tested separately which is followed by testing of the software...
