Automated testing reduces development cycles and improves software quality. Finding defects is time-consuming, costly, and prone to human error. Automated testing optimizes limited testing resources
Test cases document scenarios, data, actions, and expected results. Pre-conditions specify prerequisites, post-conditions specify post-test conditions. Test cases should be simple, transparent, and end-user-focused. Maximum 15 steps per test case recommended
Quality Assurance ensures software products meet requirements through testing. It primarily focuses on efficiency rather than complete defect elimination. QA specialists conduct testing at every stage of the project
88% of customers abandon buggy software systems. Testing is now integrated into SDLC from project inception. Testing follows lifecycle similar to SDLC
International standard defining software testing concepts for any organization. Supports testing across various software domains and organizations. Can be used independently or as part of larger testing standards
