Software testing is a critical part of programming, and it is important that you understand these 5 types of testing that are used in software development. In this video, I go over the importance of the software testing pyramid and explain how the testing changes at each level. I also touch on MC/DC code coverage, which is critical if you every want to work in defence or aviation.
