Software testing is the process of executing a program with
the intention of finding errors in the code. It is the process
of exercising or evaluating a system or system component
by manual automatic means to verify that it satisfies
specified requirements or to identify differences between
expected and actual results [4]. Software Testing should not
be a distinct phase in System development but should be
applicable throughout the design development and
maintenance phases. ‘Software Testing is often used in
association with terms verification & validation ‘Software
testing is the process of executing software in a controlled
manner, in order to answer the question: Does the software
behave as specified. One way to ensure system‘s
responsibility is to extensively test the system. Since
software is a system component it requires a testing process
also. / Software can be tested either manually or automatically.
The two approaches are complementary: automated testing
can perform a huge number of tests in short time or period,
whereas manual testing uses the knowledge of the testing
engineer to target testing to the parts of the system that are
assumed to be more error-prone. Despite this contemporary,
tools for manual and automatic testing are usually different,
leading to decreased productivity and reliability of the
testing process. Auto Test is a testing tool that provides a
“best of both worlds” strategy: it integrates developers’ test
cases into an automated process of systematic contractdriven
testing.
This allows it to combine the benefits of both approaches
while keeping a simple interface, and to treat the two types
of tests in a unified fashion: evaluation of results is the
same, coverage measures are added up, and both types of
tests can be saved in the same format. The objective of this
paper is to discuss the Importance of Automation tool with
associate to software testing techniques in software
engineering. In this paper we provide introduction of
software testing and describe the CASE tools. The solution
of this problem leads to the new approach of software
development known as software testing in the IT world.
Software Test Automation is the process of automating the
steps of manual test cases using an automation tool or utility
to shorten the testing life cycle with respect to time.
