Abstract:
Software testing is a task conducted to assess the quality of software and enhance its performance. This process ensures that the software behaves as expected according to user requirements. The software development life cycle (SDLC) outlines various stages such as Analysis, Requirements, Design, Development, Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance to guide the software development process. The primary objective of SDLC is to deliver error-free software that meets user expectations within specified timeframes. Software testing is an integral part of SDLC, serving to identify issues and ensure the completeness, correctness, and quality of the developed software. The ultimate goal is to create efficient software and maintain high-quality assurance throughout the product's lifecycle. This review paper aims to provide a brief discussion on how the software development life cycle contributes to efficient software development and how the software testing life cycle process ensures better quality assurance for the product.
