Testausprosessin

Testausprosessi, or the testing process, refers to the systematic approach used to ensure that a product, system, or software meets its specified requirements and functions as intended. It is a crucial phase in the development lifecycle, aimed at identifying and rectifying defects or errors before the product is released to users. The testing process typically involves several stages, beginning with test planning and design, followed by test execution, and concluding with test reporting and analysis.

Test planning involves defining the scope, objectives, resources, and schedule for testing activities. This includes identifying what needs to be tested, how it will be tested, and who will perform the testing. Test design focuses on creating detailed test cases, which are step-by-step instructions to verify specific functionalities or requirements. These test cases often include expected outcomes.

Test execution is the stage where the designed test cases are run against the product. This can involve various types of testing, such as functional testing to verify that each function operates as specified, performance testing to assess speed and responsiveness, security testing to identify vulnerabilities, and usability testing to evaluate user-friendliness. During execution, any deviations from the expected outcomes are recorded as defects or bugs.

Finally, test reporting and analysis involve documenting the results of the testing process, including the number of test cases executed, the number of defects found, and their severity. This information is used to assess the overall quality of the product and to make informed decisions about release readiness. The entire testausprosessi is iterative, meaning it can be repeated as defects are fixed and new versions of the product are developed.
