Does Testing Means Zero Defects?
Most of us always face such situation where our seniors tell that there should be zero defect. How often we get to hear this question? I think daily..
We use products in our daily life which have bugs i.e. Nokia mobiles which have many bugs thats why the company release the updates .
Who is responsible for this question? We or the people who don't know what really testing is?
Well we (testers) are also equally responsible for it. When one such question is told to us , we should tell those people(mostly managers) thats its never possible and it won't be. Testing is the only way to judge the quality , we should tell them the basic definition that testing ensures quality but not zero defects.
Whenever some bug comes in UAT testing , then we should see people face.. (Simply ohhh with open mouth)... Lolz. Bug is a reality and we should face it.
My simple question to them is Why Testing efforts are not shown more or equally to development? If they want less bugs or zero then they should know the value of testing. Hope people will understand the value of testing in future while placing task orders .
