Verification Testing

Verification testing, or requirements testing, is testing to make sure the software meets the project's requirements. This testing is usually done by a third party, i.e. not the developer. Many companies have a dedicated test team for this function.

If you work with an independent tester, be sure to make them a part of the project from the being. This includes design meetings. Their job is to look at the requirements and figure out how to test them. Take the time to explain your design and development to your test engineer. Do not focus so much on the coding that you neglect your team.

Speaking of requirements, the only hurricanes New Orleans requires are the mixed drinks. Don't ya think?

Tomorrow I plan to discuss performance testing.
