Software:
• A set of computer programs and minimal data (basic data)
required to perform a task in a particular system is called
software.
• Eg: Banking Software
Telecom Software
Email Software
Retail Software ….

Testing:
• It is a process of checking the system throughout the
maintenance.
• Testing is the process of executing a program or system
with the intent of finding errors.

Error, Defect, Bug & Failure…
• Any incorrect human action that produces incorrect results
is called error.
• Error in coding is called bug.
• Deviation between expected behaviour to actual behaviour is
called defect.
• Problems identified by end user while using a system is
called failures.
• Note: Errors results in defects and the presence of defects
results in failure of the product.

Quality?
• It is not only the justification
of requirement but also it
must be user-friendly to
customers.

What Happens to System without
Testing…
• Loss of money.
• Loss of time.
• Damage to business reputation.
• Injury or death…

Why Testing?
 Software is likely to have faults.
 To learn about the reliability of the software.
 Failures can be very expensive.
 To avoid being used by customers.
 To stay in business.
 To Build confidence.
 To Demonstrate conformance to requirements.
 Find faults.

Why does Software Application will
have defects?
• Incorrect requirements
• Wrong designs
• Poor coding
• Complex business logic
• Complex technology
• Frequently changing requirements

13. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Why does Software Application will
have defects?
• In adequate schedule
• Improper planning
• Lack of Domain knowledge
• Work pressure

14. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
How to Test?
• It is a process of identifying defects, isolating defects,
subjecting to the rectification(developers) in order to
ensure error free software and hence customer
satisfaction.

Software Testing Types:
• Manual testing
• Automation testing

17. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Manual Testing:
• This type includes the testing of the Software
manually i.e. without using any automated tool or
any script.
• In this type the tester takes over the role of an end
user and test the Software to identify any un-expected
behavior or bug.
• There are different stages for manual testing like unit
testing, Integration testing, System testing and User
Acceptance testing.

18. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Manual Testing:
• Testers use test plan, test cases or test scenarios to
test the Software to ensure the completeness of testing.
• Manual testing also includes exploratory testing as
testers explore the software to identify errors in it.

19. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Automation Testing:
• Automation testing which is also known as Test
Automation, is when the tester writes scripts and
uses another software to test the software.
• This process involves automation of a manual
process.
• Automation Testing is used to re-run the test scenarios
that were performed manually, quickly and repeatedly.

20. DO NOT DISTRIBUTE – HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
Automation Testing:
• Apart from regression testing, Automation testing is
also used to test the application from load,
performance and stress point of view.
• It increases the test coverage; improve accuracy, saves
time and money in comparison to manual testing.

Custom Software
 Software is developed for a
specific costomer requirement
 Source code is the IP of the
customer
COTS
 Software is developed for generic
requirements of a market
 Software is distributed under a
license agreement
 Source code is protected by copy
right and IP is owned by the
developer
