What is (SOFTWARE TESTING) ?
Software Testing: Ensuring
Quality and Reliability
Software testing is critical for identifying defects. It reduces risks associated
with failures. Testing improves user satisfaction and enhances the overall
experience. Thorough testing can reduce development costs by catching
bugs early.

Objectives of Software Testing
1 Defect Detection
Identify bugs, errors, and vulnerabilities before release.
2 Quality Assurance
Verify the software meets specified standards and requirements.
3 Risk Mitigation
Minimize the potential negative impacts of software failures.
4 Validation and Verification
Confirm software functions as intended and meets user needs.
A critical objective in medical device software is to eliminate defects that could lead
to patient harm.
Integration Testing: Connecting the Pieces
Module Interaction Data Flow Combined Function
Tests the interaction between software Focuses on data flow and Verifies that combined components

parts.
Example: Testing the interaction between a payment gateway and an e-commerce platform. This ensures smooth transaction
processing using Top-down vs. Bottom-up strategies.

isolation. unit functions
according to
specifications.
Tools like JUnit, NUnit, and pytest are popular frameworks. Testing a
function that calculates shipping costs ensures correct values.
System Testing: End-to-End
Verification
Entire System
Tests the entire system as a whole, verifying overall requirements.
Seamless Integration
Ensures all components work together seamlessly after integration
testing.
Comprehensive Focus
Focuses on system behavior, performance, and security.
Testing an entire online banking application, including login, account management,
and transaction processing. This includes performance, security, and reliability
testing.
Acceptance Testing: User Validation
Needs and Expectations
2 Validates that the software meets their
needs and expectations.
End-User Focus
1
Performed by end-users or
stakeholders.
Release Determination
Determines whether the system is
3 acceptable for release.
Allowing beta users to test a new mobile app and provide feedback before its official launch. Clear acceptance criteria are important.
Regression Testing:
Ensuring Stability After
Changes
Code Changes Functionality Intact
Re-running tests after code Ensuring that existing
changes. functionality remains intact.
Defect Prevention
Prevents new defects from being introduced.
Running regression tests after adding a new feature to an existing application
ensures no previously working functions have been broken. Automation
reduces testing time significantly.
Conclusion: Comprehensive Testing for
Software Success
Multi-Faceted
1 Software testing is a process with various types.
Software Quality
2 A well-defined strategy improves quality.
User Satisfaction
3 Leads to more reliable products.
Investing in thorough testing practices leads to more reliable and successful software products. Remember, quality is not an act, it is a
habit.
