Testing is inevitable!

Welcome to Software Testing Techie Blog! Today I am going to write about something which we all observe but not pay enough attention to!

Testing is something which is innate in all of us! Yes, we all are testing throughout our life :)

The main reason could be the human behavior of not trusting anything. Remember the time when we were young and had a play guitar which was our favorite toy. How much testing was performed on it? We played with it until we broke it completely.

Hilarious!

Now observe a child when he is given anything to eat, he starts testing it by mashing it on the ground, looking at it number of times, beating it again and again and finally when he feels like it is good, he takes it in his mouth to eat. Testing is one of the most interesting fields, unlimited number of ways to test a particular software. But to enjoy testing, the only condition is to open up your mind and test.

You will find that you are learning something new everyday and your job would never feel boring. When I first saw automated test scripts and ran them, I was so amazed to see moving things in their own on my computer screen (Yes! I am weird.). The thing which motivates me to be a tester is to be responsible for the quality of a product. A quality software which customers would love to use and trust. They will thank you for all your efforts and making their experience an awesome one!

Yes! this is Software Testing and I will make all the testing concepts a piece of cake for you. Testing is an inevitable part of our existence. We test everyday in our day to day life ( I am not talking about your job) from morning till night. From playing game on our phone to patch test that new skin product.

I am going to cover most basics topic in my future posts! Please stay tuned.

The Agile Manifesto Values and Principles

Agile manifesto refers to the set of rules or values used in an agile project. It contains mainly 4 values: Individual and Interactions Working software Customer collaboration Responding to change Over (in traditional project): Processes and Tools Comprehensive documentation Contract negotiation Following a plan Let's discuss these four values in details: Individual and Interactions : Agile development follows a whole team approach and is very people centered.

Individual team member offers a specific skill set and whole team involves in planning the development and testing strategies.
