如何测试一款软件（How to test a software） Software testing seems to many people to catch a black cat in a dark room, and do not know if there really is a cat. In Microsofts view, the cat must have, but the test is not just to catch the cat, but to constantly improve the software engineering, so that the future of the cat less and less, that is, today to solve the problem of tomorrow. How Microsoft tests software shows us the tools, tools and practices of Microsoft software testing. In fact, Microsoft software testing has long been a part of software engineering. However, Microsoft, like some of our smaller software companies today, did not have a test engineer, no localization engineer, no Manager (Program), and no usability engineer. Good design and good execution are the keys to the success of software development projects. There are many similarities between test design and good software design. Test design requires planning and solving problems to determine which tests to run and which types of tests are most effective. Like design patterns, test patterns address common issues and provide guidance and strategies for testers to design tests. Microsofts internal testers generally use simplified Robert Binder test design patterns, templates as a common format for communication. After you determine the test pattern, you need to estimate the test time. It is very difficult to estimate the time required for testing, and a rough rule is that the test time is the same as the development time. Another question is when to start testing. Normally, well start testing when we think the encoding is complete. In fact, the ideal situation is to intervene at the beginning of the development. One time point to start the test design is to review the software requirements or functional specifications. Of course, before the beginning of the test, we also need a test strategy to provide vision for the testing team, help each person to determine which test the most important activities and hel
