"Software Testing" first Step

Recently read an article on software testing, the author from development to testing. At the beginning of the article, "I was very dismissive of software testing, because I was very ignorant at the time, just an ordinary Chinese programmer, this is the mentality of the vast majority of programmers at that time, Chinese programmers most fastidious ' programming is the hard truth." At the end of the article, however, the author wrote that he was "very passionate" about software testing and was deeply aware of the "importance" and "interest" of software testing.

Software testing is an important activity and effective means to ensure software quality, and is an indispensable part of software project implementation.

Software quality refers to the function and performance of software to meet user needs and expectations of the degree, is one of the core competitiveness. Now and the future of software enterprise competitiveness is not only reflected in the variety of product types, product features of the advanced, more embodied in the stability and reliability of product quality. The software quality can be improved by using software design technology, strengthening software process management and implementing software testing methods. It is the most obvious method to ensure software quality to implement effective software testing and improve the efficiency of software testing.

Software testing describes a process used to promote the correctness, completeness, security, and quality of the authentication software. In other words, software testing is an audit or comparison process between the actual output and the expected output. The classic definition of software testing is the process of operating the program under prescribed conditions to detect program errors, measure software quality, and assess whether it meets design requirements. (Excerpt from Baidu Encyclopedia)

The software testing process runs through the entire life cycle of software development.

But the software testing process is not omnipotent, the software testing process is not a theoretical proof process, it can not prove or guarantee that the software is not defective, it can only through the technology, tools or means, through the observation of the experiment to find defects, that it can only prove the existence of defects and can not guarantee that there is no defect. This is a limitation of software testing.
