Minimizing the risk of bugs, crashes, and performance issues. Testing can be done manually or automatically, depending on the scenario. Manual testing involves running the application and checking that various features work as expected. This can be useful for catching user interface issues invalidating complex workflows, but nowadays most of our testing can be automated.
