Software Testing Fundamentals
•Testing?
Testing is the process of evaluating a system or its
components
•Why to Learn Software Testing?
To evaluate the developed software
•Applications of Software Testing
Cost Effective Development 
Product Improvement 
Test Automation 
Quality Check 
•Who does Testing?
It depends on the process and the associated stakeholders
of the projects.
• When to Start Testing?
Early Start
•Testing is done in different forms at every phase of SDLC −
During the requirement gathering phase
Reviewing the design in the design phase
On completion of the code
• When to Stop Testing?
It is difficult to determine when to stop testing
What is Verification and Validation?
Myth 1: Testing is Too Expensive
Myth 2: Testing is Time-Consuming
Myth 3: Only Fully Developed Products are Tested
Myth 4: Complete Testing is Possible
Myth 5: A Tested Software is Bug-Free
Myth 6: Missed Defects are due to Testers
Myth 7: Testers are Responsible for Quality of Product
Myth 8: Test Automation should be used wherever possible
to Reduce Time
Myth 9: Anyone can Test a Software Application
Myth 10: A Tester's only Task is to Find Bugs
