People generally have common myths about testing. The 2 myths regarding testing are
1) Testing improves Quality:
This is actually a great misunderstanding among the people. We can never improve quality. We can only evaluate quality. We are evaluating the quality of the software. When we test a software, we check whether the software is build based on the rquirements, whether all the functionalities are working properly or not. Is the software user-friendly? So Testing never improves quality.
2) Test cases find Bugs:
Certain testers believe that the test cases find more bugs. This is absolutely wrong. It is the testers who find bugs. As a tester, if you believe that test cases are going to find bugs, you would be trapped in the future. You would execute the same set of test cases for every application. Each day you need to find one. You need to develop test cases that would break the application. It's your testing experience that find bugs. Testing never ends only that we stop it based on deadline. The most powerful testing tool is our brain. No tool can compete it.
