Software testing is a critical phase in the software development lifecycle that ensures the quality, reliability, and performance of applications before they are released to users.
It involves systematically evaluating a software product to detect defects, verify functionality, and confirm that it meets specified requirements.
Basic Information
Software testing ensures that software is reliable, secure, and meets user expectations before release. It’s a critical part of the development process that balances quality, cost, and time-to-market.
Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software application:
Works as intended
Meets the technical requirements defined during design and development
Satisfies user needs efficiently and effectively
Is free from defects or bugs that could cause failures in real-world use
