Software testing helps the software developers to catch the bugs before they reach the actual user. Software testing also impacts the implementation costs. If a bug in software is found at earlier stages of the development, the less re-work is required.

An automated software testing is done using various automated tools. The selection of a software testing tool depends on the purpose for testing and the software requirements. Some of the generic testing tools available are Testing Anywhere, LoadRunner, SmarteSoft etc. Automated testing is best employed for large projects as it saves time, cost and provides accuracy.

In manual testing, a tester puts himself in place of an end user and works on all the options, in the form of test cases, provided by the application. Manual testing is best for graphical user interfaces with frequent layout changes.
After testing the software bugs are reported to the development team using bug trackers software like Bugzilla.

This collaboration between software developers and software testers helps to deliver bug free software to clients.
