Software Testing and Quality Assurance

Abstract

The success of any software product or application is greatly dependent on its quality. Today, testing is seen as the best way to ensure the quality of any product. Quality testing can greatly reduce the cascading impact of rework of projects, which have the capability of increasing the budgets and delaying the schedule. The need for testing is increasing, as businesses face pressure to develop sophisticated applications in shorter timeframes. Testing is a method of investigation conducted to assess the quality of the software product or service. It is also the process of checking the correctness of a product and assessing how well it works.
