What are software tests? When should we use them?

I have read other questions about it and seen that there are test tools that automate, predict possible errors of a software/application etc.

What I would like to know is what kind of project/system/software/application it is essential to have this development process, what for example could be tested and some tool that does this.

That question got me interested in the subject and that’s what I’m talking about: Time spent developing tests

    I have worked with software security testing, a guide that is very good to begin with (but most of its methods have long since been "scammed") is that, if you want to continue safety tests recommend this book: Reversing: Secrets of Reverse Engineering

    It would be nice for those who master the subject to guide Joao Paulo to make the question easier to answer. Only if it’s not possible should it be closed.

  • An orientation would be very welcome.

    In a general way, software testing is the process that ensures that what has been developed obeys what has been designed, there are now many different ways to do this, including there is a way to develop software based on testing. And always, absolutely always, the tests are directly related to the quality of the system.

    As a good answer would be quite broad, I recommend reading this article from IBM on the subject http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/br/local/criacao_geracao_planos_testes_software/

    Very good. I will try to gather information from her and other sources to try to come up with a response myself.

    How can I make my question less broad? I think a practical example of something to be tested would already clarify me.
