Principles of Software Testing
Software testing is a technique to improve the quality of software applications. Software testing mainly focuses on deploying a bug-free application into the production environment. Software testing is based on some principles to make testers follow a productive approach.

Exhaustive Testing is not possible : - Testing an application exhaustively without any prior planning of test scenarios and test cases leads to consuming more time and can become a major reason for bug leakage. The best approach is to test the application is with the combination of positive and negative test cases along with the integration among different modules. In exhaustive testing, a quality engineer got less chance to analyze the expected bug-free behavior of the application.
Early Testing : - Testing the application from the early stage of requirement analysis is the right approach to maintain the quality of the software from the initial time of development. Early testing prevents to generate any major issues or blockers at the time of deployment. It leads to achieving quality software within time. The involvement of QA engineers from the early stage makes them to understand the application's functional requirements and provides good outcomes from testing.
