• Component Testing (Unit testing might not work in certain situations)

• System testing

Apart from that, the hourly cost of a developer is bigger compared to that of a tester. Imagine his/her precious time invested in testing in which he/she might or might not be skilled in. So why testers should be relied on? Let’s go through an Infographic to get a detailed picture.
