This is a right question because, prior to the concept of TESTING software as a
‘Testing Project’, the testing process existed, but the developer(s) did that at
the time of development.
But you must know the fact that, if you make
something, you hardly feel that there can be something wrong with what you have
developed. It's a common trait of human nature, we feel that there is no problem
in our designed system as we have developed it and it is perfectly functional
and fully working. So the hidden bugs or errors or problems of the system remain
hidden and they raise their head when the system goes into production.
On
the other hand, its a fact that, when one person starts checking something which
is made by some other person, there are 99% chances that checker/observer will
find some problem with the system (even if the problem is with some spelling
that by mistake has been written in wrong way.). Really weird, isn't it? But
that’s a truth!
Even though its wrong in terms of human behavior, this
thing has been used for the benefit of software projects (or you may say, any
type of project). When you develop something, you give it to get checked (TEST)
and to find out any problem, which never aroused while development of the
system. Because, after all, if you could minimize the problems with the system
you developed, it’s beneficial for yourself. Your client will be happy if your
system works without any problem and will generate more revenues for
you.
BINGO, it's really great, isn't it? That's why we need testing!
