Software testing involves investigating a software product or service to find any issues that could compromise the system. The goals of testing are to find errors, ensure reliability and operability, satisfy customer expectations, and deliver a high-quality product. There are different types of testing, including functional tests like unit, integration, and system testing, and non-functional tests for performance, security, and more. A successful test covers all code paths, eventualities, and gathers metrics to track bugs.

What is Software Testing?
Software Testing involves the entire team effort to investigate
and test the quality of a software product or service, with the
intent to find any bugs or technical issues that would
compromise the system.
The effectiveness of Testing can be measured if the goal and
purpose of the testing effort is clearly defined.
The vitally important goals of Software testing are:
• Individualise errors and defects made during the
development process;
• Make sure that the final product would be reliable and
operative;
• Satisfy all customer expectations and objectives;
• Deliver a high-quality and cost-effective product;
• Ensure the software stability.

THE DESIGN SPRINT
Jake Knapp created the Design Sprint process at
Google in 2010
His model develops a weekly system to build and
test a prototype, in a cost-effective and save-time
method, using a proven step-by-step checklist
HOW IT WORKS
make a map of the
problem
each team member
draft solutions
The team manager
choose the best
option
the team build a
prototype
the team test that
prototype with five
target customers.
