Testing is the process of evaluating a software product by learning about it through exploration and experimentation, which includes running tests, observing outcomes, making inferences, and creating and refining test ideas. Testing has many objectives, such as finding defects, providing information, improving quality, reducing risks, etc. One of the objectives of testing is preventing defects, which means avoiding or minimizing the occurrence of defects in the software product by applying good practices and techniques throughout the software development life cycle. Preventing defects can help to save time, cost, and effort in testing and development, and improve customer satisfaction and confidence. A detailed explanation of testing objectives can be found in [A Study Guide to the ISTQB® Foundation Level 2018 Syllabus], pages 7-8.
