    SOFTWARE TESTING Fundamentals (STF) 

    is a platform to gain (or refresh) basic


    knowledge in the field of Software Testing. If we are to ‘cliche’ it, the site is of the
    testers, by the testers, and for the testers. Our goal is to build a resourceful repository
    of Quality Content  on Quality. YES, you found it: the not-so-ultimate-but-fairly-
    comprehensive site for software testing enthusiasts.

    Software Testing Definition


    o ISTQB: testing: The process consisting of all lifecycle activities, both static and
    dynamic, concerned with planning, preparation and evaluation of a
    component or system and related work products to determine that they
    satisfy specified requirements, to demonstrate that they are fit for purpose
    and to detect defects.
    o STF: testing: The practice of investigating a software / system under test so as
    to ensure that it is of the highest quality.

    Why Software Testing?


    Software that does not work correctly can lead to many problems such as:

    o Delay / Loss of time

    o Futility / Loss of effort

    o Wastage / Loss of money


    o Shame / Loss of business reputation

    o Injury or death
    Testing helps in ensuring that software work correctly and reduces the risk of
    software failure, thereby avoiding the problems mentioned above.

    Software Testing Goals


    The three main goals of Software Testing are:

    o Defect Detection: Find defects / bugs in the software during all stages of its
    development (earlier, the better).
    o Defect Prevention: As a consequence of defect detection, help anticipate and
    prevent defects from occurring at later stages of development or from
    recurring in the future.
    o User Satisfaction: Ensure customers / users are satisfied that their
    requirements (explicit or implicit) are met.
