A Warm Welcome to all of you!

Dear Friends,

This is Raja, a new entrant in the world of blogging!

Software testing has been my area of interest since times immemorial (I don't remember how long I have been fascinated by this field of work). I really enjoy testing different applications and have now thought of sharing my knowledge and experience with the world through this blog.

Let us first ponder over what really is testing. Does it refer to verification of what an entity should do or should it verify if a thing is correctly doing whatever it is doing (irrespective of what it was supposed to do)? Seems connected to the concepts of 'Verification' and 'Validation', terms which appear so often in interviews for software testing pros, right? Well, they are! Let us discuss these and all others terms used in our world (the world of software testing, of course) here. I would love to discuss all types of testing .... functional testing, performance testing, security testing, database testing etc. etc. ... and share my views with all of you. I would be more than delighted to hear back from you, all bouquets and brickbats are welcome! Developers are also welcome to share their expertise / knowledge with their testing brethren here.

I have also been involved in managing many testing projects and so would also like to have some discussion on the process of test management. In addition, let us discuss about various certification options available to software testers and their merits as well as demerits. In short, I am going to write about anything and everything related to testing and you are welcome to commend / criticize me.

Hope to receive support from all of you!

Raja
