Software Testing and its objective

Testing is treated as the most trusted concept of software development life cycle. Often developers underestimate testers. But they are totally unaware and uneducated about the importance of testers in the industry. Though the effort of a developer is usually more than that of a tester; but at the end of the day, the quality of the application or product will depend upon the smart effort of the tester. We can’t ignore the importance of smart work against hard work. Hence testers are given more priority by major IT companies of the industry because, they understand their importance in the quality output and hence in getting a CMMI level status in the industry. There are many important points to describe the importance of testers in the industry; but in our topic we will shortlist three concrete objectives of software testing.

Tester to develop a connection link between developer and end user: When a developer develops an application he is usually aware of the logic behind and flow of the application. Hence when he tries to browse his application he never found it difficult due to his prior knowledge. On the other hand, when the same application is thrown towards the end user they used to find it difficult when interacting with the application due to lack of knowledge of background processes. To avoid this issue tester plays an important role. The tester tests the application from the user’s point of view. As a result he checks each and every tiny aspect of the application and its hardness or user experience during the testing process. Then he submits the report to the developer for enhancements of the application. The bug report provided by the tester must be written properly so that it can be well understood by the developer. Hence we can say tester acts as a mediator between the end user and the developer for the sake of the application.

Testing for Quality output: When we develop an application we must ensure about the different functionalities of the application and we must ensure that all these are working perfectly fine! For the same the tester needs to check each and every small module of the application thoroughly and efficiently to make it bug free. He can take the help of unit testing approach for the same. Again in order to test the whole application at the end, he should follow top to bottom or bottom to top testing approach to avoid any big bugs or incompatibility issue. After all these steps, we can reach at a better quality product. Well we can also take the help of automation testing tools for efficient and quality testing in less time.

Reliability test matters: Reliability means “under different circumstances if the application works perfectly fine or not”. For the same, the tester needs to test the application under different circumstances like heavy load, low band width etc to test the reliability of the application. A reliable output is always the focus of the client and it should be achieved anyhow.
