What is Testing?
T
Software systems are an integral part of life, from business applications (e.g., banking) to consumer products (e.g., cars)
E
Software testing also helps to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements
S
Software that does not work correctly can lead to many problems, including loss of money, time, or business reputation, and even injury or death
T
Software testing is a way to assess the quality of the software and to reduce the risk of software failure in operation

Typical Objectives of Testing
To evaluate work products such as requirements, user stories, design, and code
To validate whether all specified requirements is complete and works as the users expect
To prevent defects and find failures
To reduce the level of risk of software quality
To comply with contractual, legal, or regulatory requirements

The Psychology of Testing
Errors, Defects, and Failures
A person can make an ERROR (mistake), which can lead to the introduction of a DEFECT (fault or bug) in the software. Once the product is deployed and end user finds an issue then that particular issue is called as FAILURE.
What is a defect?
The variation between the actual results and expected results is known as defect.
What is a failure?
A failure is incorrect behavior that leads to not complying the specifications required by the end user.
Errors, Defects, and Failures
Why could occur Defects?
Complexity of the code, design or architecture
Time pressure
Inexperienced or insufficiently skilled
Changing requirements
Poorly documented code
Errors, Defects, and Failures
How to prevent Defects?
Adopt efficient programming techniques
Implement a good code review process
Code reviews should be done on a regular basis to assess code quality
Define and use effective software development methodologies
Good documented requirements
Errors, Defects, and Failures

The Psychology of Testing
The Psychology of Testing
Software Development & Software Testing go hand in hand.
Developer must think of one good way to make things work; a Tester strives to imagine 1000 ways it could fail.
Testers require to acquire other skills with a different outlook and mindset.
The Psychology of Testing
A software Tester must think differently than a developer
Keen Observation
Eye for detail
Detective Skills
Be more analytical
Destructive Creativity
Break the Software
Customer Perspective
Adopt a customer oriented perspective
Objective & Neutral Attitude
Report honestly every Bug
Organized, Flexible, Patience
Changes come rapidly
