I'm sure one of your very first questions, if you don't know what software testings are, is what is it and how will it benefit me? Well unfortunately this "service" isn't just for any one. It is for people that actually want to get their software tested out by someone or more specifically a company to make sure it's of the right quality and that it works correctly.



I don't know about you, but I certainly haven't written or produced any software programs so people like us needn't worry about this. However, for people that do own software or have written software this is an important process. By definition software testing is an experimental investigation to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service being tested. This process includes but is not limited to the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding "bugs." In other words these tests establish the behavior of the software or program and recognize things that might be wrong with it.

From the time computer software was first introduced to now in the year 2008 it has continued to grow in popularity and advancement. And just like every other product on earth, each product has a target audience. For example, the people that are interested in sports video game software are completely different from those that are interested in business software's, though sometimes they do overlap.

So, when a company develops a piece of software, they must assess if the product will be acceptable to the users, the users being the targeted audience, purchasers and stakeholders. In the end, software testing is the process of attempting to make this judgement.

The other part of the software testing, is the quality assurance area. Now this process is all about those planned and systematic actions that are established to ensure that the trial is performed and the data are generated, documented (recorded), and reported in compliance with GCP and the applicable regulatory requirement(s).

There are all sorts of software testing and listed below are just a few types of these tests:

Static Testing

Dynamic Testing

Stress Testing

Performance Testing
