No matter how often unit testing is
conducted, there are still numerous
stereotypes connected to this type
of software testing.
As an experienced software
testing company, we want to bust
the existing myths.

Myth 1:
Testing
of
a
separate
component can be performed
only once and later on it may
be reused.

Reality:
A separate software component
should undergo testing every
time it is used in a new
environment. You can’t be
100% sure that the component
will work the same in every
possible context, so in this
case software testing is a
must.

Myth 2:
If the developers
have
already
performed softwar
e testing, then it
doesn’t
need
additional
verification.

www.twiter.com/myid

www.facebook.com/myid

www.mywebsite.com

Reality:
Developers are usually too busy to perform
ground testing of the software that would
cover various aspects of the software work.
Besides, the closer the release time is, the
more work they seem to have. Thus they only
perform general verification of the software’s
work. On the contrary, a good software
testing company can perform detailed check
of the offered software performing various
types of software testing (be it mobile
testing, web site testing or any other type).

Myth 3:

Reality:

It is enough for developers to
perform unit testing when
creating the software in order
to make it work good.

Double-checking is never extra.
In
the
process
of
its
development,
software
undergoes various changes and
should be checked through all
the process.

Myth 4:
Component testing that is
performed by developers in
component-based
software
engineering (CBSE) is the
same
as
unit
testing performed by software
testers.

www.twiter.com/myid

www.facebook.com/myid

www.mywebsite.com

Reality:
These types of software
testing though quite similar
have a number of differences,
the main of which is their
focusing on various objects.
The developers are more
concerned with components’
work and their functions, while
testers
are
considering
everything from the point of
view of the end-user.
