Software Testing Myths & Misconceptions



Some Testing misconceptions that even senior business and engineering people have!  

Myth: Initiating testing activities earlier in the development cycle increases delivery time while reducing the number of features in the product.

Myth: You can't test if you don't have a product to test.

Myth: It's not a bug -- the feature is working as designed.
Myth: Continually regressing everything every time we change code is tedious and time consuming…but, in an ideal world, it should be done.
Myth: A tester's only task is to find bugs.
Myth: We don't have enough resources or time to fully test the product.
Myth: Testing should take place in a controlled environment.
