Software testing is a fundamental pillar of software engineering which ensures that applications function correctly, meet user requirements, and remain reliable under different conditions. As software systems become more complex and the demand for faster development grows, testing strategies have evolved to meet new challenges. This paper aims to comprehensively compare traditional and modern software testing techniques to provide practitioners with a structured understanding of their evolution, strengths, limitations, and applicability. It covers classical methods such as unit testing, integration testing, system testing, acceptance testing and other testing types like black-box, white-box,... More >

Requirements elicitation is one of the most important steps in the software development process. It involves understanding what users and stakeholders need from a system before it is built. Traditionally, this has been done using methods like interviews, questionnaires, document reviews, and direct observation. These approaches work well in structured environments but often fall short when dealing with large, fast-changing, or agile projects. In recent years, software development has shifted toward more flexible and fast-paced practices. This change has also affected how requirements are gathered. New techniques now include collaborative tools, user feedback from online platforms, and the us... More >
