Role of Testing

Role of Testing

The increasing cost of failures and mission critical nature of software has brought a high focus on software testing in the development organization. Software testing has become the most critical element in software quality assurance.

Every component of the software developed at Newgen passes through the distinct stages as per the Quality Life Cycle shown below:

The approach to development is to focus sharply on the first two stages of the above cycle, so that only a minimal number of defects reach the third stage of testing. The product has to be put through carefully planned test cycles to ensure quality. As we know, testing only releases the defect but does not prove the absence of defects.
