Principles of Software Testing

All the tests should meet the customer’s requirements. To make our software testing should be performed by a third party. Exhaustive testing is not possible. As we need the optimal amount of testing based on the risk assessment of the application.  All the tests to be conducted should be planned before implementing it  It follows the Pareto rule(80/20 rule) which states that 80% of errors come from 20% of program components.  Start testing with small parts and extend it to large parts.  Types of Testing...
