What is software testing?
Testing is an essential phase in any product life cycle; whether if it’s a food, cars, or software production line, the outcomes should match what’s expected and meet, satisfy the need that we created the product for. Software Testing is a process of verifying a computer system/program to decide whether it meets the specified requirements and produces the desired results. As a result, you identify bugs in software products/projects.

Advices
- Don’t trust a test code that you didn’t see it failing.
- Understand software testing and do not jump into automation;
- Automation is not more than documenting manually written tests and engineering it in a way the code will be readable, understandable, and reusable.
- Make sure that your testing code is actually testing something.
- Your testing code shall not require testing.
- 200~OK is not always okay; Do not rely only on server status while testing, getting 200 status for an unauthorized API call is risking your software security.
