Testing: a Crucial Aspect of Custom Software Development

by Christine T. Wright Technical Writer The testing phase is a crucial phase of the software development life cycle and its success depends completely on the precise decision making ability of the tester as he has a number of vital decisions to take. A tester needs to consider testing not just as a process to detect bugs in the code but also to improvise the code as well as the entire procedure for optimum results.

The quality of a software application comes out perfectly only when software testing is performed in an accurate manner, which further leads to the success of the custom software development process. Hence, merely the developer cannot be accounted for a software's success or failure as the testing personnel is equally responsible for it.

Depending on the nature & complexity of the application, a software tester has to employ manual as well as automated methods to get the software ready for masses. Custom software development companies employ different methods for testing that creates some controversies at times.

The Current Scenario

Depending on the number of architectures employed in the development process, a   number of testing methods are employed, but as per the application nature, normal (or manual) and automated methodologies are used for testing. Several custom software development companies in UK have implemented automated testing in the recent times, despite the entire process being extremely costly compared to the total project budget.

The Tester's Pick

Testing should not be confined solely to identification of bugs in the code, but the stress should be on optimum improvisation of the code to yield better results. It becomes quite cumbersome for the tester to decide the process that would yield the best results. Actually, the skill of a tester comes into play here as he resolves the problem by going to the depth of the relevant code. An expert tester establishes innovative testing methodologies after accumulating all relevant information to ensure the best outcome for a software project.

Another responsibility of the tester is to take the vital decision that whether testing should go hand in hand with the development process or after it as done traditionally. This decision is purely affected by the demand of the current situation as it may surely impact the final outcome, however a reputed software solution company in UK makes the perfect decision of hiring the most skilled developers and testers for its clients projects.
