Unit - 4: Testing and Maintenance

This document discusses software testing and maintenance. It covers topics such as different types of testing (unit, integration, system, etc.), testing methodologies (white box vs black box), the software testing life cycle, myths about testing, and approaches to software maintenance and reengineering. The key goals of testing are to evaluate software and improve quality, while maintenance ensures software continues to meet business needs over time as requirements change.
