The researcher has reviewed the literature to become familiar with existing published work software testing practices and quality management approach in IT industry. These efforts allowed the researcher to ensure that her research has depth and better understanding of the topic and identify gaps in the existing process and practices, and bring a integrated and a simple SOP to be implemented in the SME 's. This literature review will identify previous research that has been done on Software testing. And will bring out in-depth understanding of the previous research and findings. The literature survey brings our the gaps in quality implementation practices and the difficulties faced by SME.s for certifications on quality due to high cost and tedious implementation processes, no certification leads to loss in sales, loss of export orders and no trust b the customer. During the course of this research it has been established that there are a number of different metrics for software test planning and test design processes. There are many attributes in multiple categories for software test planning and test design processes for each of these attributes, different existing measurements that has been studied during the course of research suggests that there is a need for consolidation of these measurements. Therefore in this thesis the researcher will present the consolidation of measurements that is intended to provide an opportunity of Small and Medium Enterprises (SME's) to consider adoption of a single process to software testing. This thesis aims to bring out current software testing metrics and their benefits after a comparative analysis. © International Science Press.
