To design and develop software, it is required to follow a process model i.e. a defi ned set of activities which will result in cost-effective and systematic software which is to be delivered to the customer and among the various activities involved in the process model testing plays a vital role. Testing is a process to fi nd the weak points of software; it is not a phase where we try to proof that the developed software is error-free. Testing is performed with a negative attitude to fi gure out the remaining error, which are not yet uncovered even after conducting various reviews, audits and inspections. If testing is conducted in a better manner we can ensure that the software which an organization is going to release in market or delivering to a client will satisfy the requirements of them and will assure the product is good in term of quality also. Software undergoes through many levels and types of testing to develop a correct deliverable product. In this paper we'll study various kinds of testing like structural, functional, and their importance in practical environment.

Abstract


To design and develop software, it is required to follow a process model i.e. a defi ned set of activities which will result in cost-effective and systematic software which is to be delivered to the customer and among the various activities involved in the process model testing plays a vital role. Testing is a process to fi nd the weak points of software; it is not a phase where we try to proof that the developed software is error-free. Testing is performed with a negative attitude to fi gure out the remaining error, which are not yet uncovered even after conducting various reviews, audits and inspections. If testing is conducted in a better manner we can ensure that the software which an organization is going to release in market or delivering to a client will satisfy the requirements of them and will assure the product is good in term of quality also. Software undergoes through many levels and types of testing to develop a correct deliverable product. In this paper we'll study various kinds of testing like structural, functional, and their importance in practical environment.
