Software Developer / Architect / QA

Software testing is a set of activities to discover defects and evaluate the quality of software work products. These work products, when being tested, are known as test objects. A common misconception about testing is that it only consists of executing tests (i.e., running the software and checking the test results). However, software testing also includes other activities and must be aligned with the software development lifecycle.

Test analysis includes analyzing the test basis to identify testable features. Associated test conditions are defined and prioritized, taking the related risks and risk levels into account . The test basis and the test object are also evaluated to identify defects they may contain and to assess their testability.

Depending on the situation, test tools may serve one or more of the following objectives:

Improving testing by automating repetitive or resource-intensive tasks like running tests and regression checks

Enhancing test efficiency by assisting manual testing activities throughout the testing process
