Introduction to Software Testing

Software Testing is a method to check whether the actual software product matches expected requirements and to ensure that software product is Defect  free. It involves execution of software/system components using manual or automated tools to evaluate one or more properties of interest. The purpose of software testing is to identify errors, gaps or missing requirements in contrast to actual requirements.
