An Intro to Software Testing—and Why You Shouldn’t Skip It

What is software testing?

Software testing isn’t just about throwing random tasks at a program to see what happens. Its main purpose is to verify and validate that the software delivers the results it’s supposed to.

Highlighting the advantages of making room for testing, Wodehouse explains:

  • Manual versus automated testing
  • The software testing cycle
  • Unit testing
  • Performance and stability testing

Different types of testing

Software testing can be manual or automated—and sometimes both. One benefit of manual testing, for example, is the advantage of real-world feedback—the same sort of feedback you’ll get from users: “A manual tester can compare expectations for how the app should run with outcomes, then provide feedback on what didn’t work. They’ll also be able to weigh in on the visuals—something computers can’t do.”

Automated testing, however, is very thorough and isn’t open to getting testing fatigue—what happens when someone gets too familiar with your software to keep a fresh perspective. It’s also reusable—once you’ve set everything up—and gives your team a chance to take a break.

Testing with a distributed team

Neither type of testing is perfect, which is why many teams use both—including the engineering team at Upwork. The team relies most heavily on automated testing, which “makes us able to complete a full suite of unit testing in one hour, and a full suite of parallelized functional tests in about six hours.” But they also do regular QA, distributing test engineers across multiple teams.

“Traditionally, developers would write code, throw it over the fence, and expect QA to find the bugs. Now, developers own the quality of their code and test engineers are there to build the test automation that allows us to release more frequently with fewer production issues.”
