The term “software quality” can be interpreted in many ways, often depending on one’s perspective. For example, a developer may consider the quality of software to be dependent on the design and maintainability of the code. On the other hand, an end-user may consider speed and reliability to be indicators of high-quality software. In general, though, the perceptions of quality are rooted in how well software conforms to its requirements. Software requirements, when adequately defined, describe how software should behave functionally (how to respond to particular input) and non-functionally (maintainability, security, performance, etc.). Well tested software decreases the possibility of failure at a greater extent and improves the quality and dependability at a greater extent. Software Testing may eventually reduce Errors, Failures, Faults or Incidents. There are different types of testing that can be initiated to cover different areas of a software system. The testing path for the
