Software testing is one of the most important phases in software development lifecycle (SDLC). Software testing is the process of evaluating the software product with the intent to find whether it satisfies the user requirements or not. It involves identifying bug, error, or defect in a software product without correcting it. There are various automated tools, which help as to test the software products with accuracy. This paper analyses some of the test management, functional and load testing tools.

The product lines approach requires specific testing tools that should help to manage reusable testing assets and automate the test execution. Despite of the increasing interest by the research community regarding software testing tools, Software Products Lines (SPL) still need tools to support the testing process. This work presents briefly the results of a mapping study on software testing tool and defines the requirements, design and implementation of a software product lines system test case tool, aiming at the creation and management of test assets. A controlled experiment was also conducted to evaluate the tool effectiveness.

<p><i>Software Testing is the process of evaluating a software program to ensure that it performs its intended purpose. Software testing verifies the safety, reliability, and correct working of software. The growing need for quality software makes software testing a crucial stage in Software Development Lifecycle. There are many methods of testing software, however, the choice of method to test a given software remains a major problem in software testing. Although, it is often impossible to find all errors in software, employing the right combination of methods will make software testing efficient and successful. Knowing these software testing methods is the key to making the right selection. This paper presents a comprehensive study of software testing methods. An explanation of Testing Categories was presented first, followed by Testing Levels (and their comparison), then Testing Techniques (and their comparison). For each Testing Levels and Testing Techniques, examples of some testing types and their pros and cons were given with a brief explanation of some of the important testing types. Furthermore, a clear and distinguishable explanation of two confused and contradictory terms (Verification and Validation) and how they relate to Software Quality was provided.</i></p>

Software is built by human so it cannot be perfect. So in order to make sure that developed software does not do any unintended thing we have to test every software before launching it in the operational world. Software testing is the major part of software development lifecycle. Testing involves identifying the test cases which can find the errors in the program. Exhaustive testing is not a good idea to follow. It is very difficult and time consuming to perform. In this paper a technique has been proposed to do prioritize test cases according to their capability of finding errors. One which is more likely to find the errors has been assigned a higher priority and the one which is less likely to find the errors in the program has been assigned low priority. It is recommended to execute the test cases according their priority to find the errors.

Requirements validation is one of the most significant and critical parts of the requirements engineering. This activity ensures that the set of requirements is accurate, right, complete, and consistent. Requirements validation is considered as the key activity because mistakes found in a software requirements document can lead to extensive rework costs when they are discovered either during development or after the system is in service. There are some commonly used bases to validate user requirements such as: Natural language, Design description languages, Graphical notations and Mathematical specification languages. Whereas the graphical notations are the most suitable means to be used in software requirements validation because it is easy to understand, and it can be easily created by analyst and time took. Therefore, this paper adopts the map concept which is a graphical technique for discovering the hidden flaws in software requirements in the early phases of software development lifecycle.

Software Testing is the pre-eminent part of the software development life cycle process. It is the process of evaluating system or its components with the specified requirements or not. It is important process by means of accessing the quality of software, reusability and traceability of the requirements specified. There are many number of testing techniques and tools available for this task. Software testing is an essential part of research and lot of development has been made in this field. In this chapter, testing techniques and tools including test design tools, load and performance testing tools, test management tools, test implementation tools, test evaluation tools, static analysis tools, Basic path testing, Loop testing, Control structure testing, code based techniques, Path testing, data flow testing, syntax testing has been described. Some distinctive latest research and development in testing strategy have been summarized.

This chapter presents a survey on the most relevant software development practices that are used nowadays to build software products for the web, with security built in. It starts by presenting three of the most relevant Secure Software Development Lifecycles, which are complete solutions that can be adopted by development companies: the CLASP, the Microsoft Secure Development Lifecycle, and the Software Security Touchpoints. However it is not always feasible to change ongoing projects or replace the methodology in place. So, this chapter also discusses other relevant initiatives that can be integrated into existing development practices, which can be used to build and maintain safer software products: the OpenSAMM, the BSIMM, the SAFECode, and the Securosis. The main features of these security development proposals are also compared according to their highlights and the goals of the target software product.

The adoption of agility at a large scale often requires the integration of agile and non-agile development practices into hybrid software development and delivery environment. This chapter addresses software testing related issues for Agile software application development. Currently, the umbrella of Agile methodologies (e.g. Scrum, Extreme Programming, Development and Operations – i.e., DevOps) have become the preferred tools for modern software development. These methodologies emphasize iterative and incremental development, where both the requirements and solutions evolve through the collaboration between cross-functional teams. The success of such practices relies on the quality result of each stage of development, obtained through rigorous testing. This chapter introduces the principles of software testing within the context of Scrum/DevOps based software development lifecycle.
