What software testing methodologies are you familiar with, and which do you prefer to use in your testing processes?

Software Testing Methodologies

During my experience as a software tester, I have become familiar with various software testing methodologies. Some of the methodologies I have worked with include:

• Waterfall Model: This traditional sequential approach involves following a structured method of testing each phase of software development.
• Agile Methodology: In Agile, testing is done concurrently with development in short iterations, enabling quick feedback and flexibility.
• Scrum: A subset of Agile, Scrum focuses on a team-based approach to software development and testing.
• Kanban: Emphasizing continuous delivery, Kanban aims to improve efficiency by visualizing the workflow.
• DevOps: DevOps integrates testing within the development and deployment processes for faster and more reliable software delivery.

Out of these methodologies, I prefer to use Agile methodology in my testing processes. I find that Agile allows for better adaptability to change, collaboration with the development team, and faster identification of defects through continuous testing.
