Quality of software is determined by how well it addresses the customer requirement. It can be software that makes it easy to maintain a website, or software that makes it easier for financial services to comply with regulatory bodies. Quality Assurance (QA) incorporates testing as a continuous process, which requires continuous effort to maintain the standard right from the software development stages, to even after delivery. At each stage, the checking must be done meticulously, because as the software moves further along the application development lifecycle, errors become harder to spot, and if spotted, more expensive and difficult to fix.<\/p>\n

For example, when a function is being used when the stack is empty, it would lead to a system crash. In order to avoid this scenario, testing needs to be done in the early stages of development. With software-aided technology seeping into most industries in this digital age, it becomes crucial that corporations produce quality software. Overall, testing is a comprehensive process, and is extremely time taking.<\/p>\n

In order to meet deadlines and carry out testing efficiently, testing tools are essential, more so as manual testing often includes a component of unintended human error. Testing tools are often used as part of automated testing, and are essentially programs that specify testing tasks to be performed.<\/p>\n

Methods and Types of Testing<\/strong><\/p>\n

Testing tools are built using coding languages such as C and Java. The testing tools provide options while testing, which helps cover the specifics of a certain product. Testing tools can be used as a combination, or individually, according to the testing requirement. The various methods of testing also help determine where testing tools come in handy the most.<\/p>\n
