WHAT IS 
SOFTWARE 
TESTING ?
Software is a set of instructions or programs 
that tell a computer what to do. It can be 
divided into two main categories ie., system 
software and application software.
Testing is the process of determining how 
effective something is.
Software testing is a process, to evaluate 
the functionality of a software application with 
an intent to find whether the developed 
software met the specified requirements or not 
and to identify the defects to ensure that the 
product is defect-free in order to produce a 
quality product.

BRIEF EXPLANATION ABOUT 
SOFTWARE TESTING
Software testing is the process of verifying a system with the purpose of identifying any errors, gaps or missing 
requirement versus the actual requirement. Software testing is broadly categorised into two types - functional testing 
and non-functional testing.
When to start test activities: Testing should be started as early as possible to reduce the cost and time to rework and 
produce software that is bug-free so that it can be delivered to the client. However, in Software Development Life Cycle 
(SDLC), testing can be started from the Requirements Gathering phase and continued till the software is out there in 
productions. It also depends on the development model that is being used. For example, in the Waterfall model, testing 
starts from the testing phase which is quite below in the tree,; but in the V-model, testing is performed parallel to the 
development phase.
Testing deadlines
• Completion of test case execution cycle
• Completion of functional testing and code coverage to an agreed limit
• No high-priority bug is found and the rate of finding bug declines after a certain level
• Management decision A software test process consists of the activities listed below:
• Planning and control
• Analysis and design
• Implementation and execution
• Meeting exit criteria
• Test closure activities.
