Introduction

Software Testing is about finding defects in Software applications. Exhaustive testing is not possible i.e we may not answer the question “Is Testing completed ?” with 100% confidence. There are different methodologies and standard procedures for testing. Having said that,  these may vary from organization to organization.

Software Testing Definition

It is a process of verifying and validating that a software application or program meets the business and technical requirements and is working as expected. Software testing is focused on finding defects in the final product.

 

Testing Purpose

Software testing has below purpose: Verification process that confirms that the application meets its technical specifications or requirements. A specification is a description of an application function in terms of measurable output, given an input value under preconditions. The validation process confirms that the application meets its business requirements. The test is for finding defects. A defect is a variance between the expected and actual results.
