The tools are grouped by the testing activities or areas that are supported by a set of tools, for example, tools that support management activities tools to support static testing, etc. A tool that measures some aspect of software may have few unexpected side-effects also on that-software. Like, for example, a tool that measures timings for performance testing needs to interact very closely with that software in order to measure II. A performance tool will set a start time and a stop time for a given transaction in order to measure the response time. But by taking that measurement, that is storing the time at those two points, could actually make the whole transaction take slightly longer than it would do if the tool was not measuring the response time. Of course, the extra time is very small, but it is still there. This effect is called the 'probe effect. Software Testing is not considered to be part of the Project Management approach. More often, it is defined within the methodology being used or in a specific testing methodology. However, most Project Managers have to deal with technology development and all should wish to test their solutions before moving into live operations. There are many approaches to software testing that attempt to control the quality of the testing process to yield useful information about the quality of the software being tested. Although most testing research is concentrated on finding effective testing techniques, it is also important to make software that can be effectively tested.
