Testing is a very critical activity in any software project. No matter what development lifecycle is chosen, testing forms an integral part of it. In spite of this fact, testing is often perceived as a low end, unimportant, disposable activity in the software field and is considered a support function. However, experience has shown that whenever there is insufficient and ineffective testing of the software, organizations have suffered a high risk of software failure and loss of credibility and business.
