Debugging Vs Testing

                                         

In previous age of software life cycle, people think that testing is equal to the debugging but it is wrong assumption. Testing is different from Debugging. Before 1979 testing and Debugging are similar in actions, but after 1979 the exact differentiation has started between them. The process of locating a problem and removing that problem is called Debugging.

Testing--> Testing is defined as process of finding bugs.

Debugging -->Debugging is after the bug is found, correction of that bug is called as debugging.

Debugging-->Debugging is a systematic process. Using debugging we can identify the logical errors and syntactical errors in an application.

Testing-->Testing is a abnormal process.

Debugging-->Debugging activity is done by developers.

Testing -->Testing activity is done by testing team .

Testing team run their tests on the piece of software. If they are finding any bugs in that they report it to the development team. After getting the test report from the testers , developers tries to find that bug. After finding the bug they tries to modify the portion of code and then he re-checks if the bug is fixed or not. After fixing the bug ,developers send it to the testers.
