What exactly is the benefit of testing?<\/p>\n
Software testing is often a suppositious consideration. It is at the bottom of the list of many developmental programs and is being executed just because that is the way it is.<\/p>\n The causes of incorrect or non-testing therefore often relate to:<\/p>\n There are a number of developments that ask for more attention for testing.<\/p>\n In addition to the external factors that affect testing, it is also not advisable to let developers themselves test. The famous author and researcher Fred Brooks wrote in his standard work “The Mythical Man-Month” (1) that software developers spend 50% of their time on testing. This is probably a bit lower today if we can trust the stories from practice, but it still remains a significant part. This is not efficient and therefore certainly does not contribute to productivity. Developers naturally want to work on new and challenging projects. At a time when companies fight for good developers, it is important to make the most of the developers capacity. Therefore, let the developers do what they are good at: analysing and programming. This usually does not include performing testing tasks. This also has a positive effect on employee satisfaction. Taking out testing by specialised testers will benefit you more from the benefits of testing.<\/p>\n Testing works well out to low wages countries in Eastern Europe. This has a number of advantages:<\/p>\n From the above it can be deduced that testing not only costs money, but can also save. Well-tested software provides greater customer satisfaction, which is a profit for the user and\/or customer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What exactly is the benefit of testing? \u201cWe forgot to include the hours for testing in the budget…\u201d \u201cMaybe the secretariat is available to click through the application\u201d \u201c… but soon because the final release has to go to the customer tomorrow\u201d Software testing is often a suppositious consideration.
