Q: What is software quality testing?

A: Software quality testing is the process of evaluating software to ensure that it meets the desired quality standards. The goal is to identify defects and potential issues before the software is released to end-users.

Q: What are the different types of software testing?

A: There are various types of software testing, including unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing, regression testing, performance testing, security testing, and usability testing.

Q: What is the difference between functional and non-functional testing?

A: Functional testing is focused on ensuring that the software performs the desired functions, whereas non-functional testing is focused on ensuring that the software meets non-functional requirements such as performance, scalability, reliability, and usability.

Q: What is regression testing?

A: Regression testing is the process of retesting software after changes have been made to ensure that previously working functionality has not been affected by the changes.

Q: What is test automation?

A: Test automation is the use of software tools to automate the execution of tests, the comparison of actual results to expected results, and the reporting of test results.
