As the name self explains, any new software that is developed by the software developers for a client as per their requirements is prone to have error or bugs and defects. To capture, convey, address and resolve these defects, Software Testing plays an essential role which helps create a bug free, defect less application that can be utilised at its best performance by the client.
The process of evaluating and verifying the software for bugs and/or defects is called Software Testing.
First thing a Software Tester needs to know about Software Testing is if the software in question is adhering to all the client's requirements and is functional and not breaking on the ideal environment provided. Another thing is if it is doing exactly what it is expected to do. Also, if the purpose of Software testing is fulfilled, like ensuring that the software is functioning correctly, is helping to identify the issues and fixing early on during development thereby reducing the cost and efforts of fixing them later on.
Relevance of Software Testing is that it helps to point out errors and defects from the various phases of software development. Software testing ensures that the overall quality of the software including its functional aspects, performance, security, customer experience, etc are met as specified by the business or the clients.
