Why Developers Shouldn’t Perform Software Testing

Software Testing is not everyone’s cup of tea, Developers have their own set of duties and tasks which they need to perform with caution and much focus. This is a bigger debate than thought. Developers who build their codes can often take days or hours to build a particular code, checking all the nitty gritty of the coding is a big task. As the person who develops the code often skips out or misses to see the flaws and sometimes does not go into proper details.

A developer who usually has to spend the entire day or night developing the code, if is asked to perform the test is likely to make mistakes and lose focus and eventually get tired. However it is seen that developers do not have much time to perform testing very effectively. If the same person who develops the software is asked to check is likely to miss out on lot of bugs as he might not see them as a software tester/or quality assurance would see.

Testing of software is done on multiple platforms, which is why it requires very specific set of skills, which may not be necessarily be used by the software developer when it comes to actual testing. Asking the developers to test the software’s can even exhaust and degrade their quality of work. Testing may not be considered that big a task, but with advanced technologies and enhanced platforms it has become one the most essential aspect of software development. A minor bug can ruin and weaken the performance of the much advanced developed software.
