Abstract

Software testing in Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) can be thought of as a sub process as Software Testing Life Cycle which is the one of the testing methodologies that is followed in the agile developmental model. Understanding quality as a process in the cycle of software development, it is also necessary to understand the importance of quality since quality wins customer. So, to better the process of quality it becomes necessary to think out of the box on how to deal with the quality of the product. Though big players in the software industry have been investing ideas on better test methodologies to raise the quality standard of the product there’s always been a gap between the ideal bug free software product and the realistic one. There are plenty of reasons as for why such a gap is witnessed, some of them are lack of right process model, lack of experienced resources, lack of knowledge on tools and so on. On the other hand, Design Thinking (DT) viz., the key for creative resolution of problems has evolved over time that can be sought as a path for solving problems of varsity, and problems that are less understood to be dealt with. So, why can’t DT be a part in the process of quality of a product? In this paper, I propose an approach of the software testing methodology that involves the synergic effect of design thinking strategy on software testing, trying to bridge the gap between the idealistic and realistic view of a software product, discuss many aspects of how design can be a part of quality and conclude on heading to a new path of creative testing.
