Software test tools

Software test tools

Program testing and fault detection can aid significantly by testing tools and debuggers.

Testing /debugging tools include following feature  
  • Program monitor, permitting full or partial monitoring of program code                                                         Instruction set simulator, give permission to complete instruction level monitoring and giving trace facility. Program animation, permitting step by step execution and conditional break point in machine code.
                     Written Code coverage reports.
                     Formatted dumps or symbolic debugging
  • GUI testing tools were used to repeat system level tests through GUI of program.
  • Benchmarks allows run time performance comparisons to be made
  • Performance analysis can help to highlight hot spots and resource usage

few features may be incorporates into an Integrates Development Environment (IDE)
  • A regression testing technique is to have a standard set of tests, which covers existing functionality that result in persistence tabular data and compare per change data and post change over data, where there should not differences using a tool like diff-kit tool.Difference detect indicates unexpected functionality changes or regression.
