Software testing can also be stated as a process of validating and verifying the software. There are different types of software testing, such as unit testing, integrated testing, system testing, sanity testing, smoke testing, interface testing, regression testing, beta testing.
The tester decides that how does it want to test the software which means the whole software will be tested at once or a single unit of the software will be tested separately and then all the single units will be integrated. The better way of testing any software is by doing software testing that is testing individual units because it becomes very complicated to test the whole system at once and in that if there are bugs it also becomes difficult to locate the bug.
