To plan and execute tests, software testers must consider the software and the function it computes, the inputs and how they can be combined, and the environment in which the software will eventually operate.

Tests can be derived from requirements and specifications, design artifacts, or the source code. A different level of testing accompanies each distinct software development activity

Software interface testing is just one among the many types of software testing that are used by software engineers for software development. 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.

A small program displays a window with the current system time and date, which can be changed by typing new values into the edit fields as shown in Figure A. The program is terminated by the Alt-F4 keystroke sequence, and the Tab key moves between fields.

A Test Engineer is an information technology (IT) professional who is in charge of one or more technical test activities, including designing test inputs, producing test case values, running test scripts, analyzing results, and reporting results to developers and managers.

'Content Management' has gained a predominant importance after the Web applications took a major part of our lives. What is Content Management? As the name denotes, it is managing the content. How do they work? Let us take a common example.

The Test Driver is the "main program" that controls the test. Here is a simple example of a driver that will test the sine function from the standard C library:

Following are the most common software errors that aid you in software testing. This helps you to identify errors systematically and increases the efficiency and productivity of software testing.

In software development, testing is a crucial part of the whole process. Many software engineers have considered interface testing as one of the most important tests they have to conduct in order to guarantee the quality of their products.

Software testing can be defined as the process in which the tester aims at checking the software for errors and also, verifying that the functional requirements of a software are met.

Competitive pressure and constant evolution keep improving the standards of quality assurance. Here are a few emerging trends in software testing to look for. Test Automation: Test automation is a big factor in improving efficiency of software.

As a software test professional, you may be considering adding a test certification to your qualifications. CSTP, CTM, CSTE, CMST, ISEB, ISTQB - there are many certifications available and it can become confusing to understand which one is best for you

As software engineering is now being considered as a technical engineering profession, it is important that the software test engineer's posses certain traits with a relentless attitude to make them stand out.

Software Testing Life Cycle consist of six (generic) phases

Last year witnessed procurement and rapid adoption of social media. Brisk advancements in the mobile world and cloud technologies were also noticed. This year things will be more advanced as the world is upgrading with the new technologies. Let's glance at the latest trends of software testing this year.

Beginners Guide To Software Testing introduces a practical approach to testing software.

IDEAL is testing stands for Initiating , Diagnosing , Establishing , Acting , Learning .It is basically a process improvement method . Here as the Acronym for IDEAL suggests it initiate an idea for process improvement then go for analyzing and then planning for the deployment . It is deployed to the process and then the feedback we get is used as the lesson . It used in agile testing mostly. Agile technology or incremental model is the ideal model of software testing. We need to follow plan, kick off, testing, reporting bugs. In this model all the requirements are divided into small small development program and done. If we test them. We can detect bugs early

The effective functioning of modern systems depends on our ability to produce software in a cost-effective way.
