Introduction to Software Testing “Testing is the process of executing a program with the intention of finding errors.” – Myers “Testing can show the presence of bugs but never their absence.” – Dijkstra Process of executing a software system to determine whether it matches its specification and executes in its intended environment 12/7/2018

Why Test? Q: If all software is released to customers with faults, why should we spend so much time, effort, and money on testing? Finding defects which may get created by the programmer while developing the software. To prevent defects To make sure that the end result meets the business and user requirements. To gain the confidence of the customers by providing them a quality product. 12/7/2018
