摘要:In real world Testing is the most challenging job in software development. In these days of the information technology epoch, the software has become the lifeline of every human activity. It may not be hyperbole, if someone states that our lives will come to stand-still if every software machine in the universe stops working! When software plays such a crucial role in our lives, it is very important that the software we use should be very high quality and reliability. Even the small gremlin is there in any software that causes huge disaster. These are the examples PATRIOT MISSILE- the patriot missile example shows how a small software bug accumulation of error due to rounding off a number can lead to catastrophe. And ARIANE-5- European Space Agency launched the ariane5 satellite launch vehicle. Exactly 40 seconds after lift-off at an attitude of 3700meters, the launcher devastated and became a ball of fire. This type of mint errors can't be covered in normal testing's like Unit Testing, Integration Testing, etc. For that reason RANDOM TESTING is introduced. Random testing is a dominant or a commanding tool in finding low-frequency bugs that are nearly impossible to find using other methods. A Low-frequency bug sometimes leads to system to crash, hence these have to be identified and removed. By using a test, Oracle one may also detect non-crashing errors in the system. Here the objective of work is to study the advantage and various implications of Random Testing, later we will develop one assumed application "Trading system", to that we will apply random testing to accentuate theoretical and practical implications including variants of Random Testing.
