Software Testing


Even though we have many definitions for software definition the main objective behind is “The Software testing is a process used to identify the correctness, completeness and quality of developed computer software.”

In reality, testing can never establish the correctness of the software. It can only find defects, not prove that there are none. The testing process is carried out either manually or using automation tools or an effective combination of both.

Manual Testing

It is defined as developing and executing tests that depends primarily on direct human interaction throughout the entire test lifecycle, especially in terms of evaluating correctness and validating test status.

Automation Testing
Iis defined as developing the test cases that can run unattended, comparing the actual to expected results and logging status.
We can make the definition Simple by saying “Automating the manual testing process currently in use”
