Pre-Production Testing occurs before a system is released to the public. This phase focuses on validating functionality, usability and other critical aspects of the software.
Key Components:
- Functional testing: Verifying that all features perform as expected.
- Usability testing: Ensuring the software is user-friendly and intuitive.
- Compatibility testing: Checking how the software interacts with different systems and environments.
- Load testing: Assessing performance under expected user loads.
Pre-production testing helps identify issues before launch, reducing the risk of problems in live environments. It ensures that the software meets quality standards and user expectations prior to release.
