Software Testing Evolution

Software Testing Evolution SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING HAS EVOLVED OVER THE DECADES AND CONSEQUENTLY, TESTING, WHICH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT, HAS ALSO GONE THROUGH A SERIES OF CHANGES.

The Era of Programmers and Testers •

Development and testing were treated as mutually independent activities during this era. Once the software was ready, it was passed on to the testing team for verification.

Testers were not very actively involved during the requirement analysis phase and had limited interactions with business stakeholders. They were heavily dependent on the knowledge passed on to them via documentation done during design and development or gathering knowledge from developers who wrote the code. Lack of insight into the requirements and expectations of the customers led to limited testing strategies used by the testing team. The testers would develop a test plan based on their understanding of documentation and test the software in an ad-hoc manner. This obviously had certain limitations and the testing was not comprehensive.

The Era of Exploration and Manual Testing THE LATE ’90S SAW THE ADVENT OF VARIOUS METHODOLOGIES LIKE AGILE TESTING, EXPLORATORY TESTING, ETC. TESTING WAS DONE MANUALLY USING DETAILED TEST CASES AND TEST PLANS. EXPLORATORY TESTING GAVE FREEDOM TO TEST AND BREAK SOFTWARE IN INDIGENOUS WAYS BY EXPLORING THE SOFTWARE WITHIN THE GAMUT OF TESTING CHARTERS.

Ever since Selenium testing Automation came into existence in the tech industry, it has left an indelible mark and has become the most widely used automated testing method for web-based applications. The incessant need for quality assurance and rigorous testing in complex web and mobile applications has resulted in the market selecting Selenium and it has become the most prominent tool in this space.
