What is Software Testing?
• Software testing is a process of executing a program or application with
the intent of finding software error bugs. Software testing is more than
just error detection.
• Software testing is the process of validation & Verification of the
software service or application or program by checking whether it’s
meeting the requirements mentioned in the FSD (Functional
Requirements Document), which is working as expected and what all is
implemented as per the characteristics.

Why Software Testing?
• The purpose is to check whether the software satisfies the specific
requirements, needs and expectations of the customer who will be using
the software. There can be many reasons for defects in the software.
The developer can also make an error which may result in a defect or bug
in the software source code. Any defect or bug in the software will
produce wrong results causing a failure. When a bug or defect occurs in a
software application, testing is done to find out the cause of defect and
to remove the bug.
• Software testing with strict test execution assures lower maintenance
cost. There cannot be any failures because it can be very expensive in the
later stages of the development.
