A Framework to Diminish Software Development Cost by Implementing Smoke and Sanity Testing

Abstract

Today's world needs more digitalization. Software’s are one of the most vital ways to do so. If we want the outcome quicker then we must have to release more software in a short time comparing with the current situation. Statistics show that software testing can grab 15-50% time of total software development time. If we can able to consume some time from the software testing life cycle then the total development time will be reduced. On the other hand, the reduced time will be able to diminish the software development cost. From this idea, we will try to propose a framework based on Smoke and sanity testing methodologies. Smoke testing especially verifies the critical component at the early stage. It's a kind of general health checkup of the whole system. Another one is Sanity testing which is a subset of regression testing. The main objective of the Sanity testing methodology is to check the rationality of the module. So, it's been executed only one particular module at a time. Combining both of these methodologies our proposed framework's main goal will be to reduce the time from STLC. Ultimately, this reduction will play a big role in reducing our software development costs.
