analyzing the product requirements for completeness and correctness in various contexts like industry perspective, business perspective, feasibility and viability of implementation, usability, performance, security, infrastructure considerations, etc.
reviewing the product architecture and the overall design of the product
working with product developers on improvement in coding techniques, design patterns, tests that can be written as part of code based on various techniques like boundary conditions, etc.
executing a program or application with the intent of examining behavior
reviewing the deployment infrastructure and associated scripts and automation
take part in production activities by using monitoring and observability techniquesSoftware testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and risk of its failure to users or sponsors.
