Software testing is the process of evaluating a software application to ensure that it meets specified requirements and is free of defects. It helps identify errors, bugs, and performance issues before the software is released to users.

Testing performed by human testers without automation tools.
✔ Types:

Black Box Testing – Focuses on inputs and expected outputs.

White Box Testing – Examines internal code structures.

Grey Box Testing – A combination of black and white box testing.

2. Automated Testing


Uses scripts and tools to execute test cases.
✔ Popular Tools:

Selenium

JUnit

TestNG

Cypress

Levels of Software Testing

Unit Testing – Tests individual components of the software.

Integration Testing – Tests interactions between integrated components.

System Testing – Evaluates the complete system for compliance with requirements.

User Acceptance Testing (UAT) – Ensures the software meets business needs and is ready for release.
