Scalability Testing Best Practices

Best Unit Testing Frameworks in Selenium for Test Automation

Unit testing ensures that every feature or component of a program functions as intended. Unit testing is carried out by developers during the development sprint stages. This assists them in identifying and correcting tiny faults that might lead to larger issues in later stages. Previously, conducting unit tests on a built module was a time-consuming and laborious effort since developers had to manually test code for each component. As a result, final release dates were pushed back.

Software Defect Life Cycle

A defect, in simple language, is a flaw in a system i.e., a system is not working as it should. Defects are also called bugs or faults. In case of software, when the software code has been built, it is executed and then any defects may cause the system to fail to do what it should do (or do something it shouldn't), causing a failure. However, not all defects result in failures.
