As simple as this axiom might sound, it holds true for industries of all types. It holds particular relevance to the IT industry since many critical processes that an entire business depends on runs under the hood in complicated code scripts and millions of lines of code. It is imperative for businesses to be able to pop the hood open and make sure that they have as much visibility into the inner workings of their business less something that could be preventable brings down an entire system. Bugs and code defects can definitely do that. With increasing code complexity, it is no longer a surprise to hear news stories of how entire clouds went offline, bringing down hundreds of dependent businesses along with them.

Imagine this:   You are a testing professional newly hired by a mid-to-large size company. Any industry. You are responsible for the testing of all of the company’s internal corporate systems---HRIS, Finance, ERP, CRM, CLM, Sales Management, and Knowledge Management to name a few. You have just been tasked with providing the testing strategy and test management for a large-scale commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) implementation. At first you think, “Hmm. A COTS vendor application that has already been developed, tested, boxed up, and released?!?

Most of the testing communities that I have known seem to brush this testing technique off simply as “monkey testing” which doesn’t really provide any significant yield on bugs nor achieve high quality bugs. However, I have been observing how powerful this testing method can be from my own perspective as well as by seeing the type of bugs that some of my team mates find.
