Process Driven Testing Versus Context Driven Testing

Uncategorized No Comments »

What is a Process? A process says that this step has to be performed after this step. You can’t randomly perform any step. 

What is Context? It says that what step has to be performed depending on the context. They are no pre-defined steps for performing the steps. 

Why nowadays most of the products are having bugs “No product is bug free product”.  Because software testers follow “Process Driven Testing methodology”? Answering this question might look weird because this question sometimes seems to be weird for some readers.  

Software testers use tools such as QTP (God of Testing Tool) to reach the maximum quality of the product (It is their assumption). But my question to the software testers who use automation testing tools is “Can they achieve or be satisfied with the level of quality they achieve by using these automation testing tools”? 

I think that 100% can’t be achieved by using the automation tools. Because Human Brain is capable of doing the things which a tool can’t do. Who says Google doesn’t have bugs? Being a Google employee is a great thing but how about what are they contributing to the users? I will be posting few funny bugs which Google couldn’t find. They are not of a high risk but it doesn’t make sense. Having high risk bugs is better than having funny bugs. 

NOTE: Google was just an example. It doesn’t mean that Yahoo should be happy that they don’t have any bugs which are discovered by the users. All these bug big organizations follow Process Driven Testing Approach. 

 All these bug big organizations follow Process Driven Testing Approach. So you decide now which testing you want to follow. To earn money follow the industry standards, to earn more knowledge follow context driven testing approach.  

I don’t say that we must follow context driven testing approach. If I am in industry then I will follow their process of software testing because I want to earn money to earn my bread. After I have enough money then let me think of “Context Driven Testing Approach”. But I believe in Context Driven Testing Approach.
