                     An Overview of Software 
Testing  Importance and Types
Introduction
Software testing is an essential part of software development. It is a process that ensures 
that the software is free from defects and meets the specified requirements. Software 
testing is important because it helps to identify errors, gaps, or missing requirements in 
the software.
In this presentation, we will discuss software testing, its types, and why it is important in 
software development.
SOFTWARE TESTING
What is software testing?
Software testing is a process of evaluating the software application or product to ensure 
that it meets the specified requirements and quality standards. It is a critical phase in 
software development that ensures that the software product is free from bugs, errors, 
and other defects.
Why is software testing 
important?
Software testing is important for the following reasons:
• Detect defects early: Software testing helps to detect defects early in the 
development process, which can save time and money.
