ensure that the product is built correctly and is defect free.

Advantages of Software Testing

Improved software quality and reliability.
Early identification and fixing of defects.
Improved customer satisfaction.

Disadvantages of Software Testing

Time-Consuming and adds to the project cost.
This can slow down the development process.
Can be difficult to fully test complex systems.
Types of software Testing
1. White Box software Testing
2. Black Box software Testing

White Box testing Definition: is a software testing method that

evaluates a software's internal structure, design, coding, and

examines the functionality of an application without looking at its
internal structures.
the tester focuses on the external behavior of the software, without
having access to its internal source code.
