What is Software Testing?

Explain Software Testing.

Answer:

Software Testing is carried out in association with verification and validation:

Verification: Did we build the software precisely? i.e., does the built software/product implement the requirements correctly?

Validation: Did we build the right software? (i.e., does the requirements satisfy the client/customer).

Software testing can be briefly stated as the phase or process of comparing with the international standards, verifying and validating that a software application/product:

• Conforms to the requirements that directed its design and development.
• Works as expected.
• Can be put into action with the same behaviors.
• Satisfies the needs of stakeholders and their customers.
