Software testing 3.0-the continuing evolution of software testing
"Defines the development of software testing
3
In my opinion, many software enterprises are still exploring in the first phase!

 

Software
Testing has already gone through at least two clearly identifiable phases. In"Software testing 1.0
", Software testing
Was misunderstood. It was an afterthought or adjunct to the development process
Left to less skilled, lower-paid individuals who actually viewed Software
Testing as the entry point on a career path to becoming a software developer.
There were few useful testing tools and methods for achieving a high degree
Automation. Those that existed were expensive, complex, difficult to use, and
Ineffective at addressing productivity needs and concerns. In this phase,
Executive management was mostly disconnected from software testing-assuming
That somehow, it wocould get done.

 

Software testing has gone through two clear phases. In
1.0
Stage, software testing is often misunderstood, testing is often ignored, not paid attention to, the treatment is low, people engaged in software testing often take the test work as an entry point for software development. At this stage, there are few testing tools and methods that can achieve high-level automation.

 

With
"Software testing 2.0
"Came
Recognition that software testing was and is an important part of
Development Process. Software Testing was recognized as a valuable part
Application Development, and everybody started to test in earnest. With
High degree of acceptance extends SS functional groups, came ownership issues-
Issues of where testing fits organizationally, how it is budgeted for, and from
Where testing shoshould receive its direction. There was also an explosion of available
Tools. These tools often further distracted the testing efforts, turning
Process into one of tool selection without clear goals, architecture or
Direction. Within this phase, executive management's understanding of testing
Was still rudimentary as was their involvement.

 

In
2.0
Stage, everyone realized that software testing is a very important part of the development process. At this stage, there is no clear goal, architecture, or guidance for the selection of tools.

 

Software testing 3.0

Starts with the understanding
That testing is still valuable to the Organization. The foundation for Software
Testing 3.0 is a strategic end-to-end framework for change based upon
Strategy to drive testing activities, tool selection, and people development.
Fundamental to its success is the realization that testing is its own function,
And an integral part of the development process. Testing must have its own
Budget to build the necessary infrastructure, as well as clear leadership and
Ownership. It must provide executive management with visibility into the status
Of the software under test so that executives can make intelligent and informed
Decisions about projects and have confidence that they are developing and
Delivering a quality product that will meet customer needs.

 

In
3.0
Phase, policy-driven testing activities, tool selection, and staff development. Aware that testing requires budget to build the necessary testing framework and independent autonomy and leadership. Tests require the management to provide a clear picture of the status of the software being tested so that the management can make informed project decisions and give them confidence.

We are developing and releasing high-quality products that meet customer needs.
