Authors: Tefo Gordon Sekgweleo
Abstract
The aim of software testing is to evaluate and verify that software functions correctly, meets specific requirements and is free of defects. It is a critical phase of the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) which assists in improving quality, reliability as well as security while reducing the long-term cost of fixing bugs. It promotes collaboration with various stakeholders involved in the systems development life cycle. This study focused on how software is evaluated and tested in a public company. Exploratory research approach was adopted, and data was collected through semi-structured interviews. Four moments of translation of ANT and communication channels of DoI was used as a lens to analyse the empirical data that was collected. Findings were explained accordingly to how software is evaluated and tested within the public company.
