Study Notes

Software Testing Purpose and Objectives

The primary purpose of software testing is to ensure the software meets the required standards, is reliable, and works as expected.
Software testing aims to identify defects, errors, and bugs in the software system.
It involves analyzing the software's functionality, usability, performance, and security to identify any discrepancies.

Consistency in Software Testing

One thing that remains quite the same for any project in software testing is the need to verify that the software meets the specified requirements and works as expected.

Definition of Software Testing

Software testing can be best defined as a systematic and structured process to evaluate the software's quality, functionality, and performance to ensure it meets the desired specifications and user expectations.
