Who Is Responsible For Testing?
Testing is everyone’s responsibility. The entire team works collectively to develop a quality product. Most of the automation is done by the people writing the code using an approach known as Test Driven Development or Test Driven Design (TDD). This includes unit, integration, component, and system tests. These tests verify that the application works as intended.
Functional and acceptance tests are written by testers, analysts or the business using an approach known as behavior driven development (BDD) or acceptance test driven development (ATDD). These tests verify that the system works as expected per the requirements.
Again, these are not phases but on going activities that feed into each other. On day 1, testers analysts or the business represent the requirement using a technique know as specification by example.
