Fact-check status: passed

The following claims were verified through Perplexity Sonar before the questions were finalised. The host can reference any of them during play:

• Software testing is the process of evaluating and verifying that a software product functions correctly, securely, and efficiently according to its specific requirements[3].
• Unit testing validates that each software unit runs as expected, where a unit is the smallest testable component of an application[3].
• System testing entails the end-to-end performance of an entire system, including functional, nonfunctional, and stress testing[3].
• Acceptance testing verifies whether the whole system works as intended and meets the customer's requirements for release[3][4].
• Workflow testing is a technique adopted to verify the entire workflow of a feature with respect to its business requirements[7].
• A common example of workflow testing is verifying the e-commerce process of selecting a product, adding it to the cart, and processing payment[7].
• The phases of workflow testing include Requirement Analysis, Test Planning, Test Design, Test Execution, and Defect Management[6].
• Automated testing is the use of software tools to automate the execution of test cases and scenarios[4].
• Test coverage measures the extent to which an application has been tested by the percentage of code or functionality covered by test cases[4].
• Traceability is the ability to trace test cases back to the requirements and specifications they were designed to test[4].
• An exploratory testing session should not exceed two hours and must have a clear scope to help testers focus on a specific area[2].
• The modern advancement beyond the Waterfall model, which is a linear sequential development methodology, is known as DevOps[4].
