The reality is, most of the customers are not aware of the QA process. Rather, they want to make sure that the software is tested well for defects. Due to this reason, majority of the small companies do not care much about the QA Process. Rather, they will use their… Continue reading
Different people use different terms to represent their software testing process. Some people call it as “QA” (Quality Analysis), some call it as “software testing” while others represent it with a more formal term called “SQA” (Software Quality Analysis). All of the above terms represent more or less the same… Continue reading

Configuration management is a detailed recording and updating information for hardware and software components. When we say components it does not only mean source code. It can be tracking of changes for software documents like requirement, design, test cases etc. When changes are done in ADHOC and uncontrolled manner more chaotic situations arise and… Continue reading
Coverage is a measure used in software testing to describe to the degree to which the source code is tested. There are three basic types of the coverage techniques as shown in the below figure:- Statement coverage: – This coverage ensures that each line of source code has been executed and tested. Decision… Continue reading
Regression testing is meant for regression defects. Regression defects are defects due to which the functionality which was working first normally has stopped working. This is probably because of changes made in the program or the environment. To uncover such kind of defect regression testing is conducted. Below figure shows the clear explanation… Continue reading
