SOFTWARE TESTING
Introduction :-
Software testing is a set of processes aimed at
investigating, evaluating and ascertaining the completeness and quality of computer
software. Software testing ensures the compliance of a software product in relation
with regulatory, business, technical, functional and user requirements. Software
testing is also known as application testing.
Software testing is primarily a broad process that is
composed of several interlinked processes. The primary objective of software testing
is to measure software health along with its completeness in terms of core
requirements. Software testing involves examining and checking software through
different testing processes. The objectives of these processes can include:
Verifying software completeness
in regards to functional/business requirements
Identifying technical
bugs/errors and ensuring the software is error-free
Assessing usability,
performance, security, localization, compatibility and installation
The tested software must pass each of the tests in-order
to be considered complete or fit for use. Some of the different types of software
testing methods include white box testing, black box testing and grey box testing.
Moreover, the software can be tested as a whole, in components/units or within a
live system.
