Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application or system meets the specified requirements and works as intended. It involves executing the software with the intent of identifying defects, ensuring quality, and verifying that the software performs its intended functions correctly and efficiently. Here are key aspects of software testing:
1. Verification and Validation: Ensuring the product meets requirements (verification) and fits its intended purpose (validation).
2. Defect Identification: Finding and reporting errors or bugs in the software.
3. Quality Assurance: Ensuring that the software product is of high quality.
4. Performance Testing: Checking how the software performs under different conditions, such as load or stress.
5. Usability Testing: Ensuring the software is user-friendly and meets end-user expectations.
Common types of software testing include:
- Unit Testing: Testing individual components or modules of the software.
- Integration Testing: Testing the interaction between integrated units/modules.
- System Testing: Testing the complete and integrated software system.
- Acceptance Testing: Verifying the software meets the business requirements and is ready for production.
- Regression Testing: Ensuring new changes haven't adversely affected existing functionality.
