Testing Flashcards
Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product or application does what it is supposed to do. The benefits of testing include preventing bugs, reducing development costs and improving performance.
Iterative Testing is a method in which a product is tested on users repeatedly, and by making use of the results after each test, the product is improved at different stages. The main motive is to make the product foolproof and market ready before its launch.
The final test is when the product is released and real end users begin using it. Very often, end users find things wrong with systems that the programmers did not expect. Updates are often released for operating systems , applications and games because customers have found software bugs .
In computer science, a syntax error is an error in the syntax of a sequence of characters or tokens that is intended to be written in a particular programming language. For compiled languages, syntax errors are detected at compile-time. A program will not compile until all syntax errors are corrected.
Logic errors occur when there is a fault in the logic or structure of the problem. Logic errors do not usually cause a program to crash.
