What is Software Testing?
Software testing is the process of evaluating an application to ensure it meets the expected requirements and performs smoothly.

Types of Testing

Manual Testing – Involves human effort to check functionality by executing test cases step-by-step.

Automation Testing – Uses tools like Selenium, Playwright, or Cypress to speed up repetitive tests with scripts.

Functional Testing – Verifies that features work according to requirements.

Regression Testing – Ensures new code changes don't break existing features.

Performance Testing – Assesses system speed, responsiveness, and stability under load.
