Principles of Software Testing

Q1: Write down principles of software testing. (4 Marks)


 1. Testing shows presence of defects
 2. Exhaustive testing is impossible
 3. Early testing saves time and cost
 4. Defect clustering
 5. Pesticide paradox
 6. Testing is context dependent
 7. Absence-of-errors fallacy

Q2: Discuss any five principles of software testing. (4 Marks)


1. Testing shows presence of defects

 Testing helps in finding bugs but can't guarantee a completely error-free product.
 It proves that defects exist, not that they don’t.

2. Exhaustive testing is impossible

 Testing every possible scenario isn't practical due to time and cost.
 Therefore, we use risk-based and prioritized testing.

3. Early testing saves time and cost

 Detecting issues early in the development process reduces later effort.


 Early testing leads to faster and cheaper fixes.

4. Defect clustering

 Most defects are often found in a few modules or features.


 Targeting these areas improves testing efficiency.

5. Pesticide paradox

 Repeating the same tests won’t find new bugs over time.
 Tests need to be reviewed and improved regularly.
