For an IT organization, developing a software system that meets the business needs of clients, is always a challenge. The company needs to ensure that the software system that gets delivered to their clients is free from bugs or defects and achieves the demands as per client requirements. But this can only be ensured by following rigorous software testing and quality assurance procedures.
Software testing is a process without which the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) stands incomplete. It is the process that identifies the correctness, completeness and quality of the software developed during the SDLC process. Software bugs and improperly tested codes cost millions in damages and millions more in time and money to fix the defect. Organizations try to develop software applications that should act in a way that cause the least amount of surprises to the user. In short they should be bug free. New paradigms of software testing are being adopted and used in the process of software development.
