Every beginner in computer science (CS) hears about software testing sooner or later. Some ignore it, thinking it’s something quality assurance (QA) engineers handle later. Others treat it like a final polish for projects.
When people use an app or website, they expect one simple thing – it should work. Pages should load fast, buttons should respond, and every click should lead where it promises.
