INTRODUCTION
Testing is the process of executing the program with intent of finding errors and it should be planned long before testing begins. Do not plan a testing effort under the tactic assumption that no errors will be found. The probability of the existence of more errors in a section of a program is proportional to the number of errors already found. Test cases must be written for invalid and unexpected and valid and expected conditions.
Purpose and benefit of testing:
The main objective of testing is to help clearly describe system behavior and to find defect in requirements, design, documentation and code as clearly as possible.The test process should be such that it should reduce the number of defects of the software product to be delivered to the customer. All tests should be traceable to customer requirements.
