Introduction

Software Testing is the process of executing a program or system with the aim of finding errors.
Or, it involves any activity aimed at evaluating an attribute or capability of a program or system
and determining that it meets its necessary results. Software is not unlike other physical processes
where inputs are received and outputs are produced. Where software differs is in the manner
in which it fails. Most physical systems fail in a permanent (and reasonably small) set of ways.
