Write your tests now!

Regardless of why you decide to perform software testing on your software, errors can occur as early as the first stage of the software development life cycle (SDLC), vulnerabilities can be exposed as a result of all the activities you perform throughout the life cycle.

Starting testing early reduces the number of defects and ultimately the cost of recovery.

This means that you need to follow a set of proven practices from day one. Adopting early testing will go a long way to delivering a quality product.

So what are the reasons why you should start testing early and often:

  • If you start early, you will have more time to resolve any defects found, and if you test more often, you will have a better chance of detecting more defects faster, and you will have more time to correct them.
  • Early and frequent testing can help you detect errors in the very early stages of development. If you can’t or don’t find defects as you move through the software development process, it will become increasingly difficult for you to discover defects and you will have to spend a lot of effort and time diving into the code and finding them.
  • If you start testing early and often, we can detect defects quickly and at an early stage. So, if you want to change your design and approaches to fix the defect, you will have more time and fewer complications ahead of you compared to the options in the later stages.
