A strategy for software testing integrates software test case design techniques into a well - planned series of steps that result in the successful construction of software.

Common Characteristics of Software Testing Strategies

-Testing begins at module level and works outward towards the integration of the entire system.

-Different testing techniques are appropriate at different points in time.

-Testing is conducted by the developer of the software and for large projects by an independent test group.

-Testing and debugging are different activities, but debugging must be accommodated in any testing strategy.
