Software Testing Techniques for High-Quality Software Development

Abstract

Software testing is a fundamental activity in the software development life cycle that ensures the quality, reliability, security, and performance of software applications. Effective testing techniques help identify defects early, reduce development costs, improve user satisfaction, and ensure compliance with functional and non-functional requirements. Modern software development practices integrate manual and automated testing, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD), artificial intelligence, and DevOps to accelerate software delivery while maintaining high quality. This paper discusses major software testing techniques, their applications, implementation challenges, and future trends in high-quality software development
