Description

Software testing is a process that involves evaluating a software application to ensure that it works as intended and meets the required standards. The goal of software testing is to identify defects or bugs in the software and ensure its reliability, performance, security, and usability.

Types of Software Testing
There are different types of software testing, each with a specific purpose:

Manual Testing: A human tester manually checks the software by performing actions on the system, using it as an end-user would, to identify defects.
Automated Testing: This involves using automated tools and scripts to run predefined test cases on the software. This is more efficient for repetitive tasks.

Testing Phases
Unit Testing: Focuses on individual components or functions of the software to ensure they work correctly. Typically done by developers.

Integration Testing: Checks if different components of the software work together correctly.

System Testing: Involves testing the complete system to ensure that it meets the specifications and requirements.

Acceptance Testing: Ensures that the software meets the business requirements and is ready for deployment.

Regression Testing: Ensures that new code changes do not negatively impact existing functionality.

Performance Testing: Assesses the speed, responsiveness, and stability of the software under varying conditions.

Common Testing Methods
Black-box Testing: Focuses on testing the functionality of the software without knowing its internal workings.

White-box Testing: Involves testing the internal structures or workings of the software.

Grey-box Testing: A combination of both, where the tester has partial knowledge of the internal workings.

Testing Levels
Alpha Testing: Performed by developers or testers in-house before the software is released to users.

Beta Testing: Performed by a select group of end-users in a real-world environment to identify bugs before full release.
