Software Testing is Difficult and Hard – What You Say

Software Testing is essential for the betterment of the application and software. But apart from this many of us do not know that Software Testing is most time consuming and difficult task to perform.

People still believe that Software Testing is an easy task anybody can do it easily but in reality Software Testing is opposite of it because it is not an easy task to perform. Software Testing is as difficult as developing software because now days it requires more human efforts, as everyone wants quality so doing Software Testing are become difficult because it takes lot of time and money.

Software Testing – Hard and Difficult

Performing Software Testing is considered as Difficult as well as hard too because of the following reasons which are shown below.

1. Software Testing is hard and difficult because we need to test the software/application for both valid and invalid inputs and in Software Testing we also check the performance parameters as well as functionality too.

2. Another reason for considering Software Testing hard as well as difficult because during the time of testing we always need to give the inputs in such a way that each and every line of the program/code is tested efficiently.

3. Another reason for being hard and difficult is that tester needs to give inputs randomly and ensure that the software/application never fails.

4. Another reason is that we need to test the software by keeping the user perspective in mind means by keeping in mind how end user is using it and check whether the error messages displayed properly or not.

5. Another main and clear reason is that we need to test the application/software by simulating the actual/real environment. Considering example if a database application has to be accessed by 200 users simultaneously, then it is not enough if you test the software/application for 5 0r 10 users and declare that application/software is working fine by leaving the software without checking all 200 users simultaneously.

6. Software Testing is considered as hard and difficult because in several cases, it is not almost possible to test the software/application in real/actual environment. Considering example how do you test the software that is used in a satellite launch vehicle or a missile? You can do the complete testing only in a simulated environment.

Your opinion

This is all I know about why Software Testing is considered as hard and difficult task to perform and if you know some more reasons than you can discuss with me in comments to help others so that proper guidance will be given to every people those who are in the field of Software Testing.

    Software testing is always hard and challenging task because every time tester need to find new potential bug or issues not the same one again, so finding new things are always challenging

Difference Between Verification And Validation With Example?

Verification and Validation example is also given just below to this table.                Verification               Validation 1. Verification is a static practice of verifying documents, design, code and program. 1. Validation is a dynamic mechanism of validating and testing the actual product. 2. It does not involve executing the code. 2. It always involves executing the code. 3. It is human based checking of documents and files. 3. It is computer based execution of program. 4.  Verification uses methods like inspections, reviews, walkthroughs, and Desk-checking etc. 4.  Validation uses methods like black box (functional)  testing, gray box testing, and white box (structural) testing etc. 5.  Verification  is to check whether the softwar...

Regression Testing with Example and Strategies

Regression Testing is done to ensure that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the modules and also the functionality of the same module. In short you can say regression testing  is always done to verify that modified code does not break the existing functionality of the application and works within the requirements of the system. Regression Testing Example  For Example there are three Modules in the Project named Admin Module, Personal Information, and Employment Module and suppose bug occurs in the Admin Module like on Admin Module existing User is not able to login with valid login credentials so this is the bug.  Now Testing team sends the above - mentioned Bug to the Development team to fix it and when development team fixes the Bug and hand over to Testing team than testing team checks that fixed bug does not affect the remaining functionality of the other modules (Admin, PI, Employment) and also the functionality of ...

What Is Functional Testing Explain It with Example?

Functional testing means testing the application against business requirements. Functional testing is executed using the functional specifications given by the client or by the design specifications according to use cases given by the design team. Role of functional testing is to validating the behavior of an application. Functional testing is more important because it always verifies that your system is fixed for release. The functional tests define your working system in a useful manner. In functional testing tester has to validate the application to see that all specified requirements of the client whatever we have said in SRS or BRS have been incorporated or not. Functional testing  is always concentrating on customer requirements and whereas the Non-Functional testing is always concentrating on customer expectations. Functional and Non Functional Test Cases Functional test cases target business goals and non functional test cases target performance, resource...
