The test environment is the hardware and software set up for the testing teams to run test cases. This test environment setup varies from product to product and its configuration completely depends on the application under test requirement. The easiest way to organize a test environment is through automation.

A traceability matrix also known as Requirement Traceability Matrix(RTM) is a document that is used in the development of the software application to trace the requirements proposed by the client to the system being built. Some of the features of RTM are-

Software Quality Assurance is a process that works parallel to Software Development. It focuses on improving the process of development of software so that problems can be prevented before they become major issues. Software Quality Assurance is a kind of Umbrella activity that is applied throughout the software process. The five major quality assurance functions…

Test Plan is a document that consists of all future testing-related activities. It is prepared at the project level and in general, it defines work products to be tested, how they will be tested, and test type distribution among the testers.

Test Case is a detailed document that shows how to check if a part of the software works correctly. It lists the steps to follow, the information needed, and what the result should be. Test cases help make sure the software does what it’s supposed to by providing clear instructions. It includes:

Some of the reasons why software testing is important are:

A malfunction in the software/system is an error that may cause components or the system to fail to perform its required functions. In other words, an error encountered during the test can cause malfunction. For example, incorrect data description, statements, input data, design, etc.

Software Testing is essential to verify an application is working properly or not. To achieve this, testing can be done through various stages of development from each component to all system. Those “stages”, called Levels of Testing, help to make sure all components of system are working properly.
