What is the purpose of software testing?

  1. To validate the accuracy of code

  2. To test the user interface

  3. To debug software

  4. To facilitate upgrades

The correct answer is: To validate the accuracy of code

Software testing serves to validate the accuracy of code and identify any errors or bugs that may need to be fixed before the software is released to the public. Options B, C, and D are not the sole purpose of software testing. While a user interface may be tested during software testing, it is not the main purpose. Debugging and facilitating upgrades can also occur during software testing, but these are secondary purposes. The primary goal of software testing is to ensure the accuracy and functionality of the code.
