What is Software Testing?

• Software testing is a process of executing a
  program or application with the intent of
  finding software error bugs. Software testing is
  more than just error detection.
• Software testing is the process of validation
  Verification of the software service or
  application or program by checking whether its
  meeting the requirements mentioned in the FSD
  (Functional Requirements Document), which is
  working as expected and what all is implemented
  as per the characteristics.

Why Software Testing?

• The purpose is to check whether the software
  satisfies the specific requirements, needs and
  expectations of the customer who will be using
  the software. There can be many reasons for
  defects in the software. The developer can also
  make an error which may result in a defect or
  bug in the software source code. Any defect or
  bug in the software will produce wrong results
  causing a failure. When a bug or defect occurs in
  a software application, testing is done to find
  out the cause of defect and to remove the bug.
• Software testing with strict test execution
  assures lower maintenance cost. There cannot be
  any failures because it can be very expensive in
  the later stages of the development.
