The entire process of software testing and
quality assurance

• Software testing is a study conducted to provide
  information about products or services to
  interested parties. It provides a view of the
  private sector to enable people to understand the
  risks associated with having to use it.
• Thus, warning and preventing potential loss if
  the system is used correctly. Different users
  require different software. For example, a banker
  will need some banking supportive program and a
  designer will need designing application and a
  player of computer games will need gaming
  supportive system .
• So when you're starting a business or part of the
  software, then you should be able to judge
  whether this is acceptable or not to end
  customers.
• According to a recent study conducted by NIST,
  bugs in the software digs a hole worth
  60,000,000,000 dollars annually to the economy of
  the United States. Better management of software
  testing and quality assurance can avoid such
  risks from bugs coming in it.

• There are different forms of software bugs such
  as errors in programming, compatibility with
  previous versions later, compatible hardware etc
  to review the code and perform under these test
  conditions.
• Some testing methods used for this drive
• 1) black box,
• 2) white box,
• 3) Grey box,
• 4) Integration tests for regression testing,
• 5) Testing for confirmation
• 6) Acceptance testing,
• 7) Non- functional testing
• 8) Destructive testing.

• There are several ways to perform software
  examining. It can perform basic program modules
  or units each. It is called unit testing and can
  be done in an operating system while placing it
  in a test case and is known as system testing.
• Nowadays, the group of independent testing
  services follow this process before the software
  is deposited with the customers.
• Before the product is shipped to a customer, an
  additional test called alpha and beta testing is
  done.
• Alpha testing involves examining the final
  version of the product and then beta testing is
  done by distributing products to select audience
  outside the test group feedback.

• Software testing used to highlight the flaws in
  the code, to test its compatibility with other
  hardware/ software to predict customer response
  to the product.
• The test programs limit has not confirmed in all
  circumstances. You can try a limited trial
  condition to check the failure of the product.
• Many certification programs bring professional
  software tester. However, no certification
  examines the concept of such a tester in this
  field.
• Certification alone cannot ensure the ability of
  examiners if many believe that the authors are
  not yet ready to show it though it promises for a
  gorgeous career for all the people who want to do
  it.
