According to Wikipedia
"Testing is a process of
technical investigation,
performed on behalf of
stakeholders, that is
intended to reveal
quality-related information
about the product with
respect to the context in
which it is intended to
operate. This includes, but
is not limited to, the
process of executing a
program or application with
the intent of finding
errors."
According to the classic
definition of Myers "Software
Testing is the process of
executing a program or
system with the intent of
finding errors."
According to the definition
given by Hetzel, "Testing
involves any activity aimed
at evaluating an attribute
or capability of a program
or system and determining
that it meets its required
results"
In simple words, software
testing is the process of
finding deviation from the
requirements and user
expectations. As a tester,
you will be the first person
to look at the product from
a user point of view and the
last person to give
objective information about
its quality prior to its
release.
