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.
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 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.
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 ...
In the context of software systems and software engineering, system integration testing is a testing process that exercises a software system's coexistence with others. With multiple integrated systems, assuming that each have already passed system testing, [ 2 ] SIT proceeds to test their required interactions.
Test drivers are tailored to meet the unique requirements of different testing environments. With manual test drivers, testers can directly initiate actions, offering them direct control throughout the testing phase. In comparison, automated test drivers—typically in the form of tools or scripts—can carry out tests on their own.

This article discusses a set of tactics useful in software testing.It is intended as a comprehensive list of tactical approaches to software quality assurance (more widely colloquially known as quality assurance (traditionally called by the acronym "QA")) and general application of the test method (usually just called "testing" or sometimes "developer testing").
