2ARTICLE REVIEW – SOFTWARE TESTING
Introduction
Software Testing is a very common phenomenon in the latest business and technical
scenario. However, in the previous times, the phenomenon of Software Testing was not
considered as much of a common occurrence like now. The testing of the software was not
dependent on the customer requirements and it was found that the customers were in a close
proximity of complaining about the products they received for falling short of the
requirements that they needed (Wichmann & Cox, 1992). Only after the complaints were
made, the software testing process was commenced to find out the anomalies in the system
and also to check whether the development of the software product has been formulated
according to the requirements of the clients, the standards set by the organizations and the
product quality at a larger level.
Introduction to standards and a brief description of the research paper and
chosen standard
The article has the main theme developed as the process for software testing which is
identified as one of the most important phase in the development life cycle of a software.
This is identified to be the primary requirement for assuring the quality of a software
however, in the previous times, the development of the software was not followed by a
software testing procedure to assure the quality of the developed software to find out if it was
developed according to the standard market format, the requirement of the client and the
proper standards of the software development. The article clearly justifies the need for
software development method along with the testing procedure according to the standards set
for software testing.
