Abstract

Software testing is process of finding errors while executing a program so that we get a zero defect software. Software testing is a technique aimed at evaluating an attribute and capability of a program and determining that it meets its quality. Software testing is an important means of accessing quality of software. In this paper various types of software testing techniques and various attributes of software quality are explained. Identify the types of testing that can be applied for checking a particular quality attribute is the aim of this paper. All types of testing cannot be applied in all phases of software development life cycle. Which testing types is applicable to which phase of life cycle of software development is also summarized here.
