Independent Testing refers to the process of evaluating a software product by a team or individuals who are not directly involved in its development. This unbiased approach ensures objective assessment and helps identify issues that developers might overlook due to familiarity with the system.
Key benefits of independent testing include:
Unbiased Perspective: Detects defects without influence from the development team.
Improved Quality: Focuses solely on verifying the software against requirements.
Enhanced Coverage: Increases the likelihood of finding hidden issues.
Risk Reduction: Identifies critical flaws before release.
Independent testing ensures the product meets quality standards and provides confidence to stakeholders.
