Software testing refers to the process of systematically evaluating and verifying the software system in order to find the defects and errors in the software and improve the quality and reliability of the software. The process and method of software testing is the core of software testing. The following will introduce the process and method of software testing.

First, the software testing process

The software testing process includes four stages: test planning, test design, test execution and test evaluation.

1. Test planning stage: At this stage, testers need to make a test plan, and define test objectives, test scope, test resources, test progress, test methods and test strategies.

2. Test design stage: At this stage, testers need to design test cases according to the test plan, and define test scenarios, test data and test environment.

3. Test execution stage: At this stage, testers need to execute test cases according to the test plan and test design, record test results and submit defect reports.

4. Test evaluation stage: At this stage, testers need to evaluate test results, analyze test data and defect reports, and formulate defect repair plans and test improvement plans.

Second, the software testing method

Software testing methods include black box testing, white box testing, gray box testing, automatic testing and manual testing.

1. Black-box testing: Black-box testing refers to verifying the correctness, integrity, reliability and security of software through input and output without knowing the internal structure of the software.

2. White-box testing: White-box testing refers to verifying the correctness, integrity, reliability and security of software through code coverage, path coverage and logic coverage. Knowing the internal structure of the software.

3. Grey box testing: Grey box testing refers to the combination of black box testing and white box testing to verify the correctness, integrity, reliability and security of some software.

4. Automated testing: Automated testing refers to a test method that uses automated tools and scripts to execute test cases and improve test efficiency and quality.

5. Manual testing: Manual testing refers to the testing method of executing test cases by manual operation to verify the correctness, integrity, reliability and safety of software.

In a word, the process and method of software testing is the key to ensure the quality and reliability of software. Testers need to execute test cases, record test results and submit defect reports, evaluate test results, analyze test data and defect reports, make defect repair plans and test improvement plans, and choose appropriate test methods to improve test efficiency and quality.
