when you had focus on data integrity on software testing?

Data Integrity refers to the validity of data. \n\nData integrity can be compromised in a number of ways: \nHuman errors when data is entered \nErrors that occur when data is transmitted from one computer to another \nSoftware bugs or viruses \nHardware malfunctions, such as disk crashes \nNatural disasters, such as fires and floods \n\nI usually focus on Data Integrity checks when porting an application from one Database to another. For example Oracle To MySQL.

Basically, its a test to see if a program or hardware setup crashes, usually over an extended period of time.

Yes.\n\na)  Hardcopy is the last defence of detecting data corruption. [Data corruption here can range from typos, to the deletion, or addition of entire passages, which completely alter the meaning of the work.]\n\nIt is trivial to determine if something has been added to, or deleted from hardcopy.  For e-copy, making such a determination is, at best, extremely difficult.  If the e-copy has DRM applied to it, making such a determination is impossible. \n\nI suspect that anybody who used DIALOG during the seventies, or eighties, has first hand experience of data corruption.   Papers that were in the hard copy journals, but were not found by doing any DIALOG search.   Typically, thsi was becuase of spelling errors in the title of the journal article, and in the name of the author.  Trivial, except that such errors make the results that were reported impossible for people who either did not read the original hard copy, or do not remember everything that they read in the hardcopy.\n\n"The Way Back Machine" is a great example of demonstrating how data gets corrupted, by additions, or deletions done by the original author.\n\nb) Libraries serve as a repository of knowledge.   As such, they are designed to store information as hardcopy. This is the only format that will last for more than 50 years.

Alpha Test\nIn software development, your alpha test, will be a test among yourselves (the teams) to confirm that your product works. Originally, the term alpha test meant the first phase of testing in a software development process. The first phase includes unit testing, component testing, and system testing. During this time you will compress files, edit for misspelled words and unclear directions, broken links, and sync audio and video. You will also test your product on the lowest common denominator machines to make sure download times are acceptable and preloaders work.\n\nBeta Test\nIn software development, a beta test is the second phase of software testing in which a sampling of the intended audience tries the product out. Beta testing can be considered "pre-release testing." Beta test versions of software are now distributed to curriculum specialists and teachers to give the program a "real-world" test and partly to provide a preview of the next release.

As a "gem programmer" (modesty off) who was recently interviewed I can assure that there's only one way: to see their work. Ask them to show you their early works and talk about it.\n\nA couple years ago I was team leader with 17 developers. One programmer was great, articles in CUJ etc. - and worth nothing for the company. He just did his own hobby, neglecting the projects.\n\nHe could pass any test you can think about, but still, you got nothing usable from him.\n\nAnd as myself, after a couple million USD value software produced and sold, I will fail "clever" tests like the details of "cout" function - I never used it, and I saw it only in examples or logging.\n\nAnd when you hire a bad programmer, he/she will tend to hire/retain even worse coworkers. The result will be bugs and missed market.\nOnly Microsoft can survive such thing. :)

testing is that this software contain any error or not.\n\nbut Quality Center always looks that this software Work's Fine , Faster & also on given requiremens or not.

I have bad news for you. Most software testing in the US is being outsourced to other countries.

it helps you re-check to validate (and catch errors in) work that's been, reportedly, accomplished.

It is in BETA testing but that is not bad in and of itself.\nIt can be good or bad.  It all depends on what you expect from it.

I would guess none since testing is done throughout the qualification phase and there have been no major stories of test failures.

Have you any experience in testing methodology?  White-box or Black-box reporting?  Are there any testing tools you're familiar with?\n\nIt's not just playing games and reporting bugs.  You might want to do some research and find out what the job requires, get some experience, then send your resume to every company that makes a game that interests you.  Chances are they have enough on-site testers that they need, but you can always hope to get started as an unpaid beta tester and build up experience that way.

A search on Google found http://www.bsa.org/usa/antipiracy/Free-Software-Audit-Tools.cfm\n\nIf you can move from the free realm, there are several programs on the market that will run on the server.  Search for software audit.  Many have free trials for 30 days and/or limited numbers of nodes.  (Disclaimer: I haven't tried any of these, although I have seen demos of Track IT!)

forget that test, they always find some "faults" only to animate you buying a useless system tool. if the PC is working normally why should you change something?

It's when a company (usually in the software business) has real users test a version of their product before it's officially done.  Beta testing is one way for companies to find and fix bugs (errors) in their programs before they are released to the general public.\n\nSometimes only a select group of people gets to participate in a beta test (for example, for a new video game).  Usually those people agree to report bugs to the company in exchange for getting to try out the program before everyone else.\n\nOther times a beta test is open to anyone.

Surely.Now-a-days the percentage of Sofware Testers in a project has certainly increased as people these days mostly rely on quality so approximately i can say there 2 testers for 1 programmer in many world class companies.So U can choose it without any hesitation and also the Pay is comparatively good with different organizational levels according to ur performance .Now-a-days Software industry  recruit people based on there analytical skills and their mindset to handle critical issues...Sofware testing being field of Destructive attitude rather than constructive(I mean finding problems in solutions)it needs a lot of analytical skills.
