Hi all,

Actually testing means not only testing the application but also preparing documents, test plans, reports, deliverables....... Before executing the test cases we have to prepare test cases which is an important responsible of a Tester. With out preparing  and planning we can't go ahead for testing. Testing is a big task. Like for development of an application  they'll write code and give it to us. But for us it is a big task to test it. We have to test the application in so many aspects. We Have to estimate the required time to test the entire application to make it perfect. Now-a-days, coding also depends on testing. We have to find the bugs and they'll fix the bugs. in this way application can be made perfect. Actually, companies like microsoft, they'll maintain 1:1 ratio for developers and testers. In our team there is 8 members in testing team and 6 members in development team. To develop a perfect application testing is an important thing. With out testing no product or no project can be built.

In one word we can say that with out testing there is no software application.

I think i have clarified ur answer.

thank you, Dileep

You can plan what type of tests you need to perform  on the application based on the requirements document.  Like whether you need to do Load or Stress Testing of the application, and also whether you need to research for what automation tools will be suitable for your application and automate the possible ones.  Also sometimes, if the testing involves more mathematical calculations, then you might probably need to build a tool in Excel or Visual Basic so that you are totally prepared before your first build comes.  This will help you to complete testing on time after the build comes.
