A Study on Innovative Testing Techniques

S. Somasundaram

Abstract


Software testing is the most critical phase of the Software Development Life Cycle. The most critical components of each application have to be tested thoroughly to ensure functionalities are working as expected. This paper talks about ensuring the quality of all types of software applications by performing certain types of innovative testing techniques and optimized software testing processes.[1]


Keywords


Software Testing - Risk Based Testing – Orthogonal Array Testing – Automation Testing – Performance Testing.
