5 Steps of the Testing Process

by TestFortExpert on 10/15/2012

Of course the main goal of software testing is finding bugs. There are also many other factors of the equal importance which help to complete testing execution. Software must comply with all the technical and business requirements. Thus verifying and validating software to ensure that it works properly without any issues is other important goal of testing process. Let’s find out the main steps of software testing.

Note scope of Testing

The very important thing of software is that it must work perfectly only under certain circumstances not under all conditions. So the testing team should understand the aim of the software. They should read thoughtfully and analyze the documents and requirements created before software development. In case if the task isn’t clear they should discuss all the details with developers.

Decide Testing Terms

The next stage is deciding the main terms of testing. Make sure you aware of the client’s requirements and decided the main approaches like technique and tools that will be used within the testing process. Make sure you estimated time and budget provided for its execution to avoid any issues.

Define Testing Tasks

The next step is to decide tasks you need to complete in each phase of testing life cycle. Also you need to decide all the documents will be delivered to developers and to the end user to keep them informed.

Identify all the Phases and Strategies

You should decide all the dates of phases and the responsibilities of testers and developers. The bug report must show details of test cases. Then it should be passed to the manager. If any defects were arising the report is sent back to developer. This is so-called retesting strategy in order to complete the process and fix defects. At the last stage any new bug can be created, so the software must be checked again, so-called regression testing strategy.

Closure process

On this step all the documents are gathered. Every confusing detail must be discussed to avoid any risk in the future project execution.

We Work With

Having one outside team deal with every aspect of quality assurance on your software project saves you time and money on creating an in-house QA department. We have dedicated testing engineers with years of experience, and here is what they can help you with.

Software is everywhere around us, and it’s essential for your testing team to be familiar with all the various types and platforms software can come with. In 21+ years, our QA team has tested every type of software there is, and here are some of their specialties.

There are dozens of different types of testing, but it takes a team of experts to know which ones are relevant to your software project and how to include them in the testing strategy the right way. These are just some of the testing types our QA engineers excel in.

The success of a software project depends, among other things, on whether it’s the right fit for the industry it’s in. And that is true not just for the development stage, but also for QA. Different industry have different software requirements, and our team knows all about them.
