Explain Role of Testing in SDLC? Why Testing is important in SDLC

Testing plays an important role in SDLC and it is very crucial because in SDLC, testing improve reliability, performance and some other factors that may require during this process. Here, I am writing post Role of Testing in SDLC with Importance so that apart from role, you can also learn why testing is important in SDLC.

Role of Software Testing in SDLC – Software Development

Below are given some important roles that are played by the testing in the development of software (SDLC)

1. One of the important role plays by testing in SDLC is that it, examines code/program for discovering problems and errors early in the system.

2. Another role is, testing always simulating a system/application to perform a program operation.

3. Software Testing always evaluates the capabilities of the code/program over entire products.

4. Another main role is that, testing always helps in reviewing of requirements and design as well as executing the code.

5. Testing is also important in measuring system/application functionality and quality of the product/project.

6. Testing also plays important role in lowering the maintenance cost of the software product/project.

7. It also helps in providing interaction between development and users.

Importance of Software Testing in SDLC – Software Development Life Cycle


Software Testing is considered as the one of the important and necessary phases in SDLC because of the following reasons given below:

1. Testing always helps to verify that complete software requirements are implemented correctly or not, means it is implemented according to the defined requirements or not.

2. Testing definitely helps in identifying defects/bugs and ensuring they are recognized/addressed before software deployment stage.

3. Testing also demonstrates that software/application appears to be working according to specifications and the performance requirements that have been defined is also met.

4. One of the main reason why testing is important in SDLC is, testing always helps to verify proper integration and interaction of each component in the system.

Important Note

As you know Software Testing has become one of the crucial parts of development and it is better to start testing from the very early development phase in order to avoid future difficulty by correcting the bug/defect at the final/last stage.

If any defect/issue is found and fixed after development, then the cost of correction will be much higher than the cost of fixing it at earlier stages of development.

Conclusion

At end we conclude, this is all I know regarding Role of Testing in SDLC and why Testing is Important in SDLC, but if you know better points on these popular terms, than discuss your thoughts in the comments section below to help others. Your feedbacks are also welcomed for this very popular post.

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...
