Testing

Description

Testing is the systematic process of evaluating systems, products, or processes to identify defects, ensure compliance with standards, and verify functionality under specified conditions. Its essential action is to provide objective evidence of quality, safety, or effectiveness, enabling informed decisions and corrective measures. By detecting errors, weaknesses, or failures before full-scale implementation, testing mitigates risks, improves reliability, and supports continuous improvement, directly addressing issues of uncertainty, inefficiency, and potential harm.
