Pilot Testing Process
Pilot Testing Process
- Planning: This is the first step of pilot testing which includes the creation of various plans regarding the testing process. This is the major part of the testing process as all the further steps are derived from it and are much related to it.
- Preparation: Once the planning is done, then the preparation for a gathering of different attributes for the testing process is done. A lot more preparation is done to perform the testing successfully. A group of end-users is selected in this step.
- Deployment: Once all the preparations are done and a group of end-users is selected then the software is deployed. Every end-user is kept in such conditions which target audience will face.
- Evaluation: Now the result is evaluated by the group of testers and is recorded in the response of the software. If the software meets the required tasks then a further step is taken.
- Product launch: Once the evaluation of the testing process is done and it is found that the software meets the requirements of the end-users then the software is launched in the market.
Pilot Testing in Software Testing
Pilot testing is the type of software testing where a group of users uses the software in totality before the final launch or deployment of the software. This testing verifies a component of the system or the entire system under a real-time operating condition. The purpose of the pilot testing is to evaluate the feasibility, time, cost, risk, and performance of a research project.
