	Software testing - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Software testing is the process used to help identify the correctness, completeness, security and quality of developed computer software.Testing is a process of executing a program or application in the intent of finding errors.
		Software testing may be viewed as a sub-field of software quality assurance but typically exists independently (and there may be no SQA areas in some companies).
		Testing during the beta phase, informally called beta testing, is generally constrained to fl box techniques although a core of test engineers are likely to continue with white box testing in parallel to the beta tests.

	Software Testing
		Software testing is any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system and determining that it meets its required results.
		Contrary to fl-box testing, software is viewed as a white-box, or glass-box in white-box testing, as the structure and flow of the software under test are visible to the tester.
		Test cases are carefully selected based on the criterion that all the nodes or paths are covered or traversed at least once.

	Software Testing - Share knowledge on Software Testing
		Software reliability estimation methods such as those are available to estimate both the expected field reliability and the rate of growth in reliability.
		Task-based software testing, as defined herein, is the combination of a task analysis and an operational profile.
		A subtle hazard of debug testing is that it may uncover many failures, but in the process wastes test and repair effort without notably improving the software because the failures occur at a negligible rate during field use.

	comp.software.testing Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Beta testing is typically conducted by end users of a software product who are not paid a salary for their efforts.
		Unit testing is usually associated with structural test design, but this is because testers usually don't have well-defined requirements at the unit level to validate.
		System testing specifically goes after behaviors and bugs that are properties of the entire system as distinct from properties attributable to components (unless, of course, the component in question is the entire system).
