What is Software Development Testing?

What are the benefits of Testing in software development?

What are some potential drawbacks of Testing in software development?

1. Testing is writing code to test and check to see if your program works. One example is writing a check to see if your backend has all the necessary requests and paths.

2. It saves time by telling you if your idea works from the get go. You don't have to wait and spin up and test each part by themselves.

3. The tests could be flawed, and you could be passing over a potential solution. Another downfall is in a similar vein, your test only works with specific data, so you could be doing it right, just the test doesn't think so.
