Software Testing

Software Testing is the process of evaluating a software application to ensure it meets specified requirements, functions as expected, and is free from defects. It plays a critical role in delivering high-quality software by identifying issues before deployment.

Here’s a breakdown of key aspects:

Types of Software Testing

Functional Testing:
- Ensures the software performs according to specified requirements.
- Includes Unit Testing, Integration Testing, System Testing, and User Acceptance Testing (UAT).
Non-Functional Testing:
- Focuses on performance, usability, reliability, scalability, and other quality attributes.
- Examples include Performance Testing, Security Testing, Usability Testing, and Compatibility Testing.
Manual Testing:
- Conducted by human testers without the use of automation tools.
- Effective for exploratory, usability, and ad-hoc testing.
Automated Testing:
- Uses tools like Selenium, JUnit, or TestNG to execute test cases automatically.
- Ideal for regression, performance, and load testing.

Phases of Software Testing

Requirement Analysis: Understanding the software requirements to design test cases.
Test Planning: Defining the testing approach, resources, schedule, and tools.
Test Case Development: Writing detailed test cases and preparing test data.
Environment Setup: Preparing the test environment to execute test cases.
Test Execution: Running test cases and logging defects.
Defect Reporting and Tracking: Identifying, documenting, and tracking bugs to resolution.
Test Closure: Analyzing test results, documenting findings, and archiving test artifacts.
