Manufacturers
typically designate a group to do a product test before the market
release of a new product. For instance, a soda company develops a new
flavor. Before it is mass-produced and shipped into stores, the
company does a focus group discussion first, where a random group of
people do a taste test and then give their opinions on the new
flavored drink.
Similarly,
testing should be a standard operating
procedure for software development companies before they turn
over the product to their clients. The tests will help the engineers
and developers detect flaws or “bugs” in their work and resolve
them before deployment. They have two methods to test their software:
manual and automated.
