Software Testing Explained: How QA is Done Today

- Historically, testing hadn’t been a priority.
In the 1960s, IBM introduced System/360, a legendary mainframe computer built specifically to be modular and compatible with any task. The cost and time it took to build were just as legendary - around 1000 employees worked on the system for 10 years, and the initial budget of $25 million was raised to $5 billion. That situation was typical for the 60s. Programs took ages to build, companies hired excessive numbers of engineers to speed up development, but the pool of qualified programmers was limited, and soon they ended up with low-quality, bug-infested software.
What about today? Testing became more than a routine task, it deserved the title of Quality Assurance, which also covers planning, monitoring, and control. And what about the fastest growing areas in QA today?

I'm a software tester and this video describes what I do pretty well. I'll add that it's really fun and playful work. Also that software development teams should have a QA expert from the very beginning to consult.
Is software testing have coding section and command section in manual
@@siljiprakash6819 you could have automatic tests and manual ones, I think it's important to have them both
I would really like to get into this but don't no where to start
I just started a path on software testing. Can I link up with u?
😊k
Ji😅i😅
Everything about this video is perfect, from animation to a way the inforamtion was structured and presented. I've discovered the channel after months of reading of your articles on the wesite and since then I'm happy with that. Glad to see the channel growing!
I remember doing automated testing of code when I was taking BASIC on the Pr1me Mini Computer System back in the mid 1980's. And yes, I wrote the input scripts myself, and had to check the output manually. It's much more advanced today.
Hi
This video gave a few new details for me about what Y2K was and software testing is. I'm trying to find my purpose in life instead of chasing money and this video helped me get a tidbit closer to figuring that out.
Absolutely loved the video and animation!
Rarely do you see such a highly polished video like this. Well done.
Simply the best! THANK YOU !!!
This was the best video I’ve ever watched regarding this topic. You deserve way more views!
Very interesting well put together video. Thx my friend!
This is a great video. I teach project management and I'm using this in one of my classes. The video does an excellent job of explaining software testing. Thank you!
This is amazing. So much content with context and entertaining. Great job. Refreshing to see
this was a very helpful video thank you for sharing!
On a website form you find 2 of the 10 Fields have no field level validation. What severity would you grade this?
*High, medium, low?*
As a QA analyst I love this! Great video
can you live from this job?
What softwares you use to create videos? It's awesome please tell!
Brilliant explanation!
Hands down the one of the best videos I've seen recently !!!!!
Totally agree. Thanks!
I think this content is great... just the right level. Hi marks for including the historical perspective.
Sir congratulations 👏 .your explanation is perfect.i just started this class today and likely found your explanation.keep up
great job, great video! thx
Great video, I’ve just entered QA and am grateful for this.
i really want someone to put me through on testing
amazing work
Beautiful video.
Amazing video!
Great video!
Great content!
wow
This video should have way more views
Splendid!
Great video
SYBCA DMC LETS GO!!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
💋
Loved it
Brilliant Content. I know for sure this channel gonna be mainstream soon
Well explained. Today, global enterprises embrace the capabilities of automated testing platforms to stay ahead of the competition. Codeless, intelligent technologies powered by AI to test software is a trend today and for good reason.
Video starts at 1:29
This is an incredibly great and informative video but the 10fps videos gave me strong headache :/
good
Been watching videos of software testing
Bc I’m thinking to take it class .
What would u advice me .
Did you take the class?
You are great
☺️
It would be great if you updated this material to 2024 addressing ML /AI . Thank you
Thanks for idea
Testing if used, cause most of the times a app won't scale enough to be worth testing, is very time consuming and to be fair is better if you as a developer write the tests. You can't write tests for the entire piramid (UI, SEVER and MODEL) if you don't understand the full functionality of how code works and how they interact. TDD is the way... if the time is worth doing so! Complete automation is possible if the time invested into automating it brings significant revenue back... a test script that passes doesn't mean the software is full proof... it only mean that the cases accounted for are passing.
So you want the users to test your product on release? That's not a good look. You don't have to understand the code to test a product (black box/functional testing). Dedicated testers (QA, SDET) reduces the risks of released software to have bugs in it. Testing is time consuming but that's why there should be at least one QA and/or SDET per team or a dedicated test team (depending on how small or large the product is). Just an opinion coming from a software engineer.
As far as I'm aware TDD includes tests... no?
Just my opinion...
@@pedronunes8766 I was taught that tdd is creating unit test cases before creating software. Unit testing is more for testing if the code you wrote is correct where as functional testing is to test the system. I don’t think it’s possible to unit test a product end-to-end but you can with functional testing. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I dont have degree on IT . I talked to a "personal teacher" and he told me that it is better to be QA/Tester because it is a bit easier for someone who has not degree on IT .
He said that he suggest it to everyone who has not degree.
He said that i will learn python, sql ect ect ect ....
I said him that i am police officer at Europe Union country and i want to change my job , i want to go to U.K..
I asked him if there is a way to connect my previous job and the new one in IT , in my CV.
He said that everything in IT can not connect in POLICE.
Do you agree with this ? That nothing can connect and that the only easy way for someone who has not degree in IT is QA/tester .
Could someone be at first QA/Tester and if he want it , he will change it to be software developer later ?
To be a software developer you need to learn at least 2 years in boot camp or 4 years in University. It is hard to switch tho.
I worked 3,5 years as an industrial painter(painting walls) before getting a job in IT as a Software Tester in Belgium, being an immigrant with not the best English and French skills.
I have a bachelor diploma as an art teacher though, but never worked as a teacher, just some freelance art/crafting related work.
The most important thing that helped me to get the job in IT was the fact to show/prove to the interviewer that I was very interested,motivated and enthusiastic about software testing and the IT industry in general.
I'm thinking to start a blog, sharing these experiences, maybe even with some tutorials etc., would it be interesting for you to read/watch such a blog?
And you actually can make some connections between the work as a Policeman and IT, because IT is everywhere nowadays, and the bugs in that IT stuff too.
So if making a good brainstorm and with a bit of creativity, you can figure it out how to make some connections between Police Service and IT. For instance that you often notice some bugs or malfunctioning of some electronics or software that you used for you work etc.
I saw a video on a channel of an Belorussian software tester, who interviewed an ex policeman, that got a job as a tester and already had some experience and was planning to move to DevOps.
@@dorinbanar thank you so much
Excellent video. You're my new bff

nice video, can we collaborate???
Hi, thank you!

👀💯💖🎬👍
Wait ! What ? A testing video not narrated by an Indian ?
It certainly makes a great change from the crappy audio and thick accents that Delhi Belly IT channels present!
quality of this video doesnt match the subs count on this channel. free subs for you bro
II think it's a fucking part of that programmer job nobody has the balls to do. Why it;s good - has no records of past existence to be queried.
Injured animals love you too.
Thanks for this video! It's incredibly helpful, especially for those who are just beginning their journey. Our QA team also created a great video for QA, where we collected the software testing trends for 2024 on our channel
