Question:
What is 'Software Testing'?
Answer:
Testing involves operation of a system or application under controlled conditions and evaluating the results (eg, 'if the user is in interface A of the application while using hardware B, and does C, then D should happen'). The controlled conditions should include both normal and abnormal conditions. Testing should intentionally attempt to make things go wrong to determine if things happen when they shouldn't or things don't happen when they should. It is oriented to 'detection'. (See the Bookstore section's 'Software Testing' category for a list of useful books on Software Testing.) • Organizations vary considerably in how they assign responsibility for QA and testing. Sometimes they're the combined responsibility of one group or individual. Also common are project teams that include a mix of testers and developers who work closely together, with overall QA processes monitored by project managers. It will depend on what best fits an organization's size and business structure. Source: CoolInterview.com

Software testing is not a one person job. It takes a team, but the team may be larger or smaller depending on the size and complexity of the application being tested. The programmer(s) who wrote the application should have a reduced role in the testing if possible. The concern here is that they’re already so intimately involved with the product and “know” that it works that they may not be able to take an unbiased look at the results of their labors. Testers must be cautious, curious, critical but non-judgmental, and good communicators. One part of their job is to ask questions that the developers might find not be able to ask themselves or are awkward, irritating, insulting or even threatening to the developers. ♦ How well does it work? ♦ What does it mean to you that “it works”? ♦ How do you know it works? What evidence do you have? ♦ In what ways could it seem to work but still have something wrong? ♦ In what ways could it seem to not work but really be working? ♦ What might cause it to not to work well?

software testing is a way to identify defects in a s/w product, software testing is the most important phase in any software development project, so that we can know whether our project or product is going to be successful or it will fail before it goes live
we can define software testing as process use to identify the quality of developed computer software, so that the developer of software can compare the results produced by the finished software and the expected one. Through testing we cannot get totally bug free software we cannot achieve complete correctness through testing, but at least we can find some defects, which are there in the software Source: CoolInterview.com
