vkaranthaa- Member Since Apr-2010 | Apr 20th, 2010
Defect prevented at the early stage of the lifecycle saves lot of money and effort to the company. There are different ways of preventing defects. Some examples are as follows:
a. Use previously logged defects and analyze the pattern incase its a existing application / system
b. Review and inspections of the analysis, design and coding artifacts to make sure they adhere to proper guidelines
c. Review of test cases written by testing team from development team and Business users / analysts to avoid any gap
d. Have testing from development team of the integrated application before delivering it to the testing team.
We have used all these and have found them to be effective in reducing no. of defects.chaitu83

surendra_kumar- Member Since Nov-2006 | Jun 11th, 2008
it is not just the developer OR the Tester is responsible for integration testing, Both of them are equally responsible according to their responsibilities. The developer who writes the code is responsible for performing the integration of modules w.r.t. code ( should be understood as part White Box Testing ) Then after checking the modules for their integration it will be passed on to the Q.A. team, Here it will be the responsibility of the Q.A. team to check the integration b/w the modules according to the requirement specifications.
