In other words, testing is executing a system or application in order to find software bugs, defects, errors or unexpected behavior.</p> <p>Software testing is necessary because we all make mistakes. Some of those mistakes are minor, but others can be expensive or dangerous. Especially while practicing <a href="https://www.atlassian.com/continuous-delivery/ci-vs-ci-vs-cd">continuous integration, continuous delivery, or continuous deployment</a>, we need to test anything and everything we produce, because things can always go wrong.</p> <p>Testing is mainly classified into two types, <strong>Functional Testing</strong> and <strong>Non-functional Testing</strong>.</p> <p><a href="/techblog/images/posts/importance-of-software-testing-in-ci-cd/TEST1.JPG"><img src="/techblog/images/posts/importance-of-software-testing-in-ci-cd/TEST1.JPG" alt="Types of Functional and Non-functional testing" /></a></p> <div class="excerpt-bottom"> <p class="continue"><a href="/techblog/testing/2018/03/08/importance-of-software-testing-in-ci-cd.html">Continue reading &rsaquo;</a></p> <p class="metadata">Author: <a href="https://github.com/rakeshnambiar" target ="_blank">Rakesh Nambiar</a></p> </div> </section> <section class="post-excerpt"> <p class="post-excerpt-date">29 Jan 2018</p><h2 class="post-excerpt-title"><a href="/techblog/testing/2018/01/29/behavior-driven-development-in-bioinformatics.html">Behavior-Driven Development in Bioinformatics</a></h2> <h3 id="what-is-bdd">What is BDD?</h3> <p><strong>Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)</strong> is a set of Software Engineering practices designed to help teams deliver more valuable and higher quality software features.</p> <p>It adopts general techniques and principles of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test-driven_development">Test Driven Development</a> (TDD) with ideas from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain-driven_design">Domain-driven Design</a> (DDD).
