Managing Frequent Software Testing Error Types

The true purpose of Software Testing is to check that a product satisfies its standards or, more generally, to report on any discoveries that diminish the consumer experience. The function of a error in these more ambitious corporate objectives is more complex. Before you can release your application, you must demonstrate that it functions well and is free of bugs In the language of testing specialists, "error" often plays the role of the enemy.
