Goals for Testing

Testing and test design as a parts of quality assurance, should also focus on bug prevention. To the extent that testing and test design do not prevent bugs, they should be able to discover symptoms caused by bugs. Bug prevention is testing first goal. Bug prevention is better than the detection and correction. There is no retesting and no time wastage. The act of testing, the act of designing tests is one of the bug preventions. Before coding test can be performed. “Test, then code”. Testing discover and eliminates bugs before coding.
Bug prevention – Primary goal
Bug discovery – Secondary goal
