Extensive review on software testing and pipeline testing softwares

The main aim of this paper is to explain the various types of testing techniques, methods and levels(functional, unit) which are being used by many Software industries. These software industries use these techniques to find faults or bugs in the final software created by them. Here the software testers are experts in the IT Industry who act like customers and review the software to check whether it completes the given requirement or not. To note down the requirements used in the software a matrix called the traceability matrix is used. This paper will provide an outline of all the testing techniques which are not only used in software industries but also in various offshore industries where pipeline testing is done to avoid any leakage on the welded joints, the quality of welds and the pressure, testing is done so that these pipes can be used for an entire lifetime which is designed for more than 25 years. For offshore pipes we use softwares to test the design and installation of a subsea pipeline. We go through some of the testing softwares like DNV-OS-F101, Fatfree, Sim buck and Offpipe.
