Software testing is a key part in software development. Any company that doesn't manage to incorporate quality control standards and define application tests adequately can potentially ruin credibility of the brand as well as destroy the project and cost a fortune.
The test plan is part of the documentation of the project. The project plan bounds and scopes the functional requirements, objectives, and goals of the application. The test documentation exists to create test cases to qualify the application for performance and usability, platform stability, system stability, and functional fit.
The initial functional test requirements are not implemented until the first software build's later stages. The developers subject the software to a series of tests in order to ensure that it fits the criteria set by the original stakeholder and to have it ready to be tested by the second test team, as well as user and beta testing. Speciality software is sometimes used. The process can see modifications and records of changes occur whilst the process is ongoing by using regression software. If a change should compromises functionality of the code allows 'rollback'.
There will be some 'real world' testing which takes place once the development team have done their job and a fresh pair of eyes can take over. This can include testing of the software on a range of different machines using a number of different operating systems and other elements. The feedback is then used by the developers in order to make improvements. An intended audience can then test it out themselves which will provide a wider scope of feedback, This is known as beta testing and a procedure used by large software companies.
Some testing strategies are designed to meet a software testing company's business and cultural needs. Commercial software companies and the lifecycle of software development needs to be fully understood by software companies. To ensure that improvements can be ongoing which is why best practices should be continually applied.
