Abstract
Software testing, which is a knowledge-intensive and collaborative activity, is a sub-area of software engineering. Software testing knowledge can be applied to different testing tasks and purposes. Since software development is an error-prone task, in order to achieve quality software products, validation and verification should be carried throughout the development. This study, using qualitative methods, investigates the current practice of software testing practices in two software companies on the basis that they both claimed to apply software testing practices in their software development work. Interview results revealed some interesting latest trends in software testing from both companies.
