Testing is the process of identifying defects, where
a defect is any variance between actual and expected results.
|
| What is Testing? |
 |
_______________________________________ |
|
Defect can be caused by a flaw in the application software
or by a flaw in the application specification. For example, unexpected (incorrect) results can be from errors made
during the construction phase, or from an algorithm incorrectly defined in the specification. Testing is commonly
assumed to mean executing software and finding errors. This type of testing is known as dynamic testing, and while
valid, it is not the most effective way of testing. Static testing, the review, inspection and validation of development
requirements, is the most effective and cost efficient way of testing. A structured approach to testing should
use both dynamic and static testing techniques.
Testing and Quality Assurance
What is the relationship between testing and Software Quality Assurance (SQA)? An application that meets its requirements
totally can be said to exhibit quality. Quality is not based on a subjective assessment but rather on a clearly
demonstrable, and measurable, basis. Quality Assurance and Quality Control are not the same. Quality Control is
a process directed at validating that a specific deliverable meets standards, is error free, and is the best deliverable
that can be produced. It is a responsibility internal to the team. QA, on the other hand, is a review with a goal
of improving the process as well as the deliverable. QA is often an external process. QA is an effective approach
to producing a high quality product. One aspect is the process of objectively reviewing project deliverables and
the processes that produce them (including testing), to identify defects, and then making recommendations for improvement
based on the reviews. The end result is the assurance that the system and application is of high quality, and that
the process is working. The achievement of quality goals is well within reach when organizational strategies are
used in the testing process. From the client's perspective, an application's quality is high if it meets their
expectations.
