 What is testing?

Software testing is the process of executing a

program or application with the intent of finding
the software bugs.

Software testing is an investigation conducted

to provide stakeholders with information about
the quality of the product or service under test.

The testing takes place throughout the software

development life cycle.
 What is testing?

Should answer the following questions:

• Does the software meet the requirements?

• Does it work correctly?
• Do all features work?
• Are there defects in the software?
• What the quality level is?
• Do we have enough information for
decision-making?
