Why software testing is important?

Testing is very important and integral part of developing any product in order to improve the quality and successfully delivering/launching the product.

Here we are mainly concerned with the testing of the software product. So therefore, Software Testing is necessary because we all make mistakes. Some of those mistakes are not important, but some of them are expensive or dangerous. We need to validate everything and anything for making the product function as per the requirement. Testing is very important as it’s a process of finding bugs to avoid failures at the time of delivering the project. Nowadays everything is getting easier with the help of technology. What if a banking application does not function properly? If it calculates the interest incorrectly? It will be harmful for the bank for its reputation and also the bank will lose the trust of the customers. Similarly, in medical equipment’s too some of the machines are controlled or managed through software if the software doesn’t work properly then it could be harmful for the patient. So testing is required to improve the quality and to provide the quality assurance to the customers. Testing should be come into existence as early  as possible in SDLC, The cost of fixing the bug will be high if testing is not done in early stage & bugs found in later stages. In the today’s competitive market only the quality product stays longer, so to make sure the produce the good quality product the testing is important As it not possible makes it software application is defect free so testing is required.
