Components Based Software Testing Strategies to Develop Good Software Product

Component based software development is used for building a new software artifact rapidly by using less resource. Different components are collected and integrated collectively to form new product therefore the feature of new software product depends upon these components. To ensure value of overall product testing of each component is vital. But problems arise during testing when tester has inadequate access to the components. Testing is the procedure of exercising a program with the specific intent of decision errors before to delivery to the end user. This paper discusses the value of components testing and comparison of these testing techniques. Some important techniques are discussed like Unit testing, System testing, Integration testing Module testing. Alpha testing beta testing and also proposed better testing technique to ensure that the proposed testing techniques are more efficient and beneficial a survey study conducted. Survey based on questionnaires and results calculated by applying statistics on data gathered from survey. At the end some suggestions to improve the process of testing are also given in this paper.
