Software testing is an investigation conducted to provide stakeholders with information about the quality of the product or service under test.

Software testing can also provide an objective, independent view of the software to allow the business to appreciate and understand the risks of software implementation.

Test techniques include the process of executing a program or application with the intent of finding software bugs (errors or other defects), and verifying that the software product is fit for use.

Agile software development describes a set of principles for software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through the collaborative effort of self-organizing cross-functional teams.

It advocates adaptive planning, evolutionary development, early delivery, and continuous improvement, and it encourages rapid and flexible response to change.

These principles support the definition and continuing evolution of many software development methods.

A test case, in software engineering, is a set of conditions under which a tester will determine whether an application, software system or one of its features is working as it was originally intended.

The mechanism for determining whether a software program or system has passed or failed such a test is known as a test oracle.

In some settings, an oracle could be a requirement or use case, while in others it could be a heuristic.

It may take many test cases to determine that a software program or system is considered sufficiently scrutinized to be released.

Test cases are often referred to as test scripts, particularly when written - when they are usually collected into test suites.

In business, engineering and manufacturing, quality has a pragmatic interpretation as the non-inferiority or superiority of something; it's also defined as fitness for purpose.

Quality is a perceptual, conditional, and somewhat subjective attribute and may be understood differently by different people.

Consumers may focus on the specification quality of a product/service, or how it compares to competitors in the marketplace.

Producers might measure the conformance quality, or degree to which the product/service was produced correctly.

Reliability engineering is engineering that emphasizes dependability in the lifecycle management of a product.

Dependability, or reliability, describes the ability of a system or component to function under stated conditions for a specified period of time.

Reliability may also describe the ability to function at a specified moment or interval of time (Availability).

Reliability engineering represents a sub-discipline within systems engineering.

Reliability is theoretically defined as the probability of success, as the frequency of failures; or in terms of availability, as a probability derived from reliability, testability and maintainability.

Testability, Maintainability and maintenance are often defined as a part of "reliability engineering" in Reliability Programs.

Reliability plays a key role in the cost-effectiveness of systems.
