Software Testing Procedure

The Software Testing Procedure ensures that your company-developed software is error-free and capable of consistently performing the tasks for which it was designed. Performing to this level is accomplished by passing acceptance tests, beta tests and software release tests before the product is released to the customer or user community.

The Software Testing Procedure applies to all software products and updates released by your company. (12 pages, 1682 words)
