As moving to next topic we need to understand what is need of software testing?
Here i like to give a daily life example so you can easily understand need of testing?  Think in your mind what you do when you go to market place to buy Vegetables?

First you look for Good vendor
Then you look for Freshness of Vegetable
Then you look for Price of Vegetable

These are certain parameters there you check before buying vegetables. There is  important scenario here

Freshness of Vegetable and Quality of Vegetable 

 While manually checking for Freshness and quality of vegetable you actually doing testing of Product. If freshness is less then you move towards next vendor. Same happen in Software development process. If software doesn't meet customers requirements with quality then it impacts on organization value in Market and also business. That's why software testing  is important process in Software Development life cycle.  I like to write here a some imp words " Customers satisfaction makes Money "

Before starting about Software Testing. I like to introduce you about Definition of Software Testing. I am not using here a bookish definition of Software testing. I am using simple definition of software testing in my own words.

Definition of Software Testing:-
Software testing is process in which we find for bugs which may harm system or software and cure them so can build confidence in System / software. And deliver a Quality product to End customer.



This is simple definition of software testing  I am used and using  this definition  in interviews also. Easy to remind and easy to understand.
