Introduction to Software
Testing
Software testing is a crucial aspect of software development, ensuring
that applications function as intended and meet the needs of users. This
presentation will provide an overview of two key testing approaches:
smoke testing and performance testing.

What is Performance Testing?
1 Load Testing
Evaluates the application's behavior and stability under expected user loads.

2 Stress Testing
Assesses the application's ability to handle extreme or unexpected user loads.

3 Scalability Testing
Determines the application's ability to handle increasing user demands or
data volumes.

Conclusion and Key Takeaways
Smoke Testing Verifies core functionality and identifies critical
issues early in the development process.

Performance Testing Evaluates the application's ability to handle

user loads, identify bottlenecks, and optimize
performance.

are essential to ensuring a high-quality,
reliable software product.
