•             Check - Monitoring of processes, modify the processes, and examine whether it meets the predetermined objectives

•             Act - Implement actions that are necessary to reach improvements in the processes

Why Testing is Important?

•             Software testing is really necessary to point out the defects and errors that were made during the development phases.

•             It’s crucial since it makes sure of the Customer’s reliability and their satisfaction in the application.

•             It is very important to ensure the Quality of the product. Quality product delivered to the customers helps in gaining their confidence.

•             Testing is necessary in order to provide the facilities to the customers like the delivery of the high-quality product or software application which requires lower maintenance cost and hence results in more accurate, consistent, and definitive results.

•             Testing is required for the effective performance of software applications or products.

•             It’s important to ensure that the application should not result in any failures because it can be very expensive in the future or in the later stages of the development.

•             It’s required to stay in the business.
