Software Testing Q&A
软件测试问与答
1.What is software testing?
It’s an activity that helps in finding out bugs in a software system under development, in order to provide a bug-free and reliable system to the customer.
1.什么是软件测试？
软件测试即找出正在开发中的软件系统里的漏洞，为顾客提供无漏洞、安全可靠的系统。

2.Why is there the need of software testing?
Software manufacturers perform software testing to ensure the correctness, completeness and quality of their products.Their customers will be happy if the software works without any problem and will generate more profits for them.That’s why the testing is necessary!
2.为什么软件测试是必要的？
软件生产商进行软件测试是确保产品的准确性、完整性和高质量。

如果软件在使用过程中未出现任何问题，客户就会非常满意，从而给生产商带来更多利润。

这也就是为什么软件测试非常有必要。

3.What makes a good“software tester”?
A tester is a person（who tries to find out all possible bugs in the system with the help of various inputs to it).Good testers know well the technology.They are tactful and know how to tell the developers,and persuade them to have the bug(s)fixed.
3.优秀的软件测试人员需要具备什么素质？
软件试人员通过各种输入发现系统里可能存在的漏洞。

优秀的软件测试人员技术娴熟，他们讲究沟通技巧，知道如何与软件开发人员交流，并且说服他们解決问题。

4.What exactly does a software tester do?
Apart from exposing bugs and confirming that the program meets the specifications,as a tester you need to create test cases,procedures,scripts and generate data.You execute test procedures and scripts,analyze standards and evaluate results of testing. You also:
4.软件测试人员都做哪些工作？
除了要找到软件产品中的漏洞和确认程序符合规范，作为一名测试人员，他们还需要编写测试案例、程序、脚本和生成数据；要实施测试程序和脚本，分析测试标准，评估测试结果。

除此以外，还需要：
•speed up the development process by identifying bugs at an early stage
•reduce the organization’s risk of legal liability
•assure successful launch of the product,save money,time and reputation of the company by discovering bugs and design flaws before failures occur in
production.
●在发早期发现漏洞，从而加速开发进程；
●减少公司承担法律责任的风险；
●在产品生产之前发现漏洞和设计上的缺陷，确保产品成功上市，节约成本、时间以及
公司名誉不受损。

5.What’s a“test plan”?
A test plan is a document that describes the objectives,scope,approach,and focus of a software testing effort.The process of preparing a test plan is a useful way to think through the efforts needed to validate the acceptability of a software product.The completed document will help people outside the test group understand the“why”and “how”of product validation.It should be thorough enough to be useful but not so thorough that no one outside the test group can understand it.
5.什么是软件测试方案？
软件测试方案描述测试目的、范围、方法和测试的核心任务。

准备测试方案的过程是认真考虑如何验证软件产品的可接受性的有效途径。

完整的文件描述能帮助不懂软件测试的人了解产品验证的原因和过程。

测试方案应该详细、有用，但又不能太过于全面以至于测试组外的人也能读懂。

6.What’s a“test summary”?
At last,the testing will be completed according to the criteria specified in the test plan. This is when the success or failure of the system is decided based on the results.The test summary records this information.The summary provides the results of the designated testing activities and an evaluation of these results.Moreover,the summary provides an overall view of the testing and the quality of the software.
6.什么是软件测试总结报告？
最后，测试应该按照测试方案中所规定的标准完成。

这时根据测试结果来决定所测试软件的成败与否。

测试总结报告就要记录这些信息，提供所有测试工作的结果和对这些结果的评估结论。

更为重要的一点是，测试总结报告提供了测试和软件质量的全面记录。
