ISO/IEC/IEEE 29119 Software and systems engineering -- Software testing [1] is a series of five international standards for software testing.First developed in 2007 [2] and released in 2013, the standard "defines vocabulary, processes, documentation, techniques, and a process assessment model for testing that can be used within any software development lifecycle."
Software testing can provide objective, independent information about the quality of software and the risk of its failure to a user or sponsor. [1] Software testing can determine the correctness of software for specific scenarios but cannot determine correctness for all scenarios. [2] [3] It cannot find all bugs.
Software engineering is a field within computer science focused on designing, developing, testing, and maintaining of software applications. It involves applying engineering principles and computer programming expertise to develop software systems that meet user needs.
Software validation checks that the software product satisfies or fits the intended use (high-level checking), i.e., the software meets the user requirements, not as specification artifacts or as needs of those who will operate the software only; but, as the needs of all the stakeholders (such as users, operators, administrators, managers ...
In software engineering, a test case is a specification of the inputs, execution conditions, testing procedure, and expected results that define a single test to be executed to achieve a particular software testing objective, such as to exercise a particular program path or to verify compliance with a specific requirement.

A similar effort to define a body of knowledge for software engineering is the "Computing Curriculum Software Engineering (CCSE)," officially named Software Engineering 2004 (SE2004). The curriculum largely overlaps with SWEBOK 2004 since the latter has been used as one of its sources, although it is more directed towards academia.
A rigorous test case based approach is often traditional for large software engineering projects that follow a Waterfall model. [2] However, at least one recent study did not show a dramatic difference in defect detection efficiency between exploratory testing and test case based testing. [3] Testing can be through black-, white-or grey-box ...
