Software testing comes into being with the creation of software. In the early software development process, the software scale was small and the complexity was low. The process of software development was chaotic and quite random. The meaning of testing was narrow.
Investment in testing is minimal and testing comes late, often when the code is formed and the product is almost complete. In the early 1980s, software and IT industry entered into a great development, software tends to be large, high complexity, software quality is more and more important.
This time, some software testing began to form the basis of theory and practical technology, and people began to designed for software development process and management methods, the way of software development also gradually by the development process of the chaotic transition to a structured development process, in a structured analysis and design, structured review, structured programming and structured test was characterized.
People also integrate the concept of “quality” into it, and the definition of software testing has changed. Testing is not only a process of finding errors, but also takes testing as the main function of software quality assurance (SQA), including the content of software quality evaluation. Bill Hetzel, in the Complete Guide of Software Testing, points out that “Testing is any activity whose goal is to evaluate the properties of a program or system. Testing is a measure of software quality.” This definition is still used today. Software developers and testers started sitting around talking about software engineering and testing.
