Here are the software testing types:

Typically Testing is classified into three categories.

• Functional Testing
• Non-Functional Testing or Performance Testing
• Maintenance (Regression and Maintenance). 

Below are the essential software testing steps every software engineer should perform.

1. Basic testing

2. Code review

3. Code Analysis

In the testing phase, the evaluation is also done to check if there is any gap somewhere that might create an issue post-implementation. In a nutshell, regarding maintaining quality standards, software testing is a crucial factor one cannot do away with.

The basic requirements for effective software testing include:

1. Clear Requirements: Understand what the software is supposed to do.
2. Test Plan: Develop a structured approach outlining what to test and how.
3. Test Cases: Create specific scenarios to test different functionalities.
4. Testing Tools: Use tools for automation, bug tracking, and test management.
5. Test Environment: Set up a controlled environment that mimics real-world usage.
6. Skilled Testers: Ensure testers have the necessary skills and knowledge.

Meeting these requirements helps ensure thorough and effective software testing, leading to a higher quality software product.
