What exactly is meant by testing tasks in the software development process?

Testing tasks in the software development process include verifying the quality and correctness of the software product. These can be:

• Unit testing — testing individual components or functions.
• Integration testing — testing the interaction between modules.
• System testing — testing the entire system as a whole.
• Regression testing — ensuring that new changes do not break existing functionality.

Testing helps identify errors, improve the reliability and quality of the product, and ensure that customer requirements are met.

During development, testing can be manual or automated, using various tools and frameworks.
