SoftwareTesting

WhyTesting?• MakesurethesoftwarefulfillstheRequirements fromthe

Customers(SoftwareRequirementsSpecification,SRS)• MakesuretheSoftwaredon'tcontaincriticalBugs• Makesurethesoftwarecanbeinstalled atthecustomer.

Thecustomerdon'thaveVisualStudio!• Makesurethesoftwareareuser-friendly anintuitivetouse• Makesurethesoftwareisrobust andhasacceptable

performance (soitdon'tcrashwhenmorethan1personareusingit,thedatabasecontainlotsofdata,etc.)
