Software Testing formally called as Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a process to ensure that a software product meets its defined specifications and customer expectations. Quality Assurance is more centered on dealing with the product life cycle, finding bugs against expected application behavior and software usability aspects and ensuring that the product meets the defined quality parameters or client agreements. In simple words, Software Testing means Verification of Application Under Test (AUT). There are numerous types of testing that are required to accomplish to ensure quality of a software program/system. This paper covers various testing approach and testing types and how these helps in ensuring quality of a software. It also covers functional and non-functional aspects of software testing

Abstract


Software Testing formally called as Software Quality Assurance (SQA) is a process to ensure that a software product meets its defined specifications and customer expectations. Quality Assurance is more centered on dealing with the product life cycle, finding bugs against expected application behavior and software usability aspects and ensuring that the product meets the defined quality parameters or client agreements. In simple words, Software Testing means Verification of Application Under Test (AUT). There are numerous types of testing that are required to accomplish to ensure quality of a software program/system. This paper covers various testing approach and testing types and how these helps in ensuring quality of a software. It also covers functional and non-functional aspects of software testing
