Software testing is the process of evaluating a program by executing test conditions in a controlled manner in order to answer the question “What if?”. It is the process used to identify the accuracy, completeness, security, and quality of developed computer software. And most importantly, it is a process of technical analysis emulating the users intended to verify output information about the product with respect to the context in which it is intended. Assuring what has been specified is what the user actually wanted.

Quality testing involves much more than just running the program repetitively to observe whether it works. Thorough analysis of the program under test with a broad knowledge of testing techniques and tools are essential requirements to systematic testing. In order to keep track and improve efficiency of software testing, essential tools are needed to complement the manual testing. These tools can be categorized as:

• Test Management Tools – used to record and track test cases, test runs, and test schedules. Test engineers can apply version controls of the individual test case, combine test cases which are executed on a case-to-case basis, and track test results against test cases which have been executed. Schedules of manual or automated tests can also be configured and verified if ran successfully, and generate test report.

• Functional Testing Tool – automation tools used to simulate manual regression testing. Once tests have been automated, they can be run quickly – autonomous - therefore allowing more manpower allocation to other critical tasks. Automated tests are used for regression testing of repeatable business processes.

• Performance Testing Tool - used to determine how efficient some aspects of a system perform under a particular workload. It can also serve to validate and verify other quality attributes of the system, such as scalability, reliability and resource usage.
