What is TESTING ?

-
Testing = Verification (Static Testing) + Validation (Dynamic Testing)
 "Testing is the process of Verifying are we developing the right product or not and also Validating does the developed product is right or not" 

OR in more Simpler words:-

TESTING is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects.

Now the question is what do you mean by Software testing ? or Hardware testing, Mobile testing, Pen testing, Machine testing??

Software Testing is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects in the software.
  
Hardware Testing is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects in the hardware.

Mobile Testing is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects in the mobile. 

Pen Testing is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects in the pen. 

Machine Testing is the process of finding or identifying or searching or catching or preventing defects in the machine. 


Moral: Only application or environment changes, the principles or meaning of testing remains same as it is.

Explain public static void main in Java

Whether the class contains main method or not and whether main method is declared according to requirement or not these things won’t be checked by compiler. At Run time JVM is responsible to check these things. If JVM unable to find main method then we will get run time exception saying “No SuchMethodError: main” class Test { } Javac Test.java Java Test Runtime Exception: “No SuchMethodError: main” At Run time JVM always searches for the main method with the following prototype. public static void main (String[] args) public : public keyword is an access modifier which represents visibility, it means it is visible to all. To call by JVM from anywhere. This makes the main method public that means that we can call the method from outside the class. static : static is a keyword, if we declare any method as static, it is known as static method. The core advantage of static method is that there is no need to create object to invoke the static method. The main me

Any programming language reserves some words to represent functionalities defined by that language. These words are called Reserved words. These words can't be used as names for Variables, Methods, Class or any other Identifier.

OOPs concepts in Java with Examples

Object Oriented programming is a programming style which is associated with the concepts like  Class Object Inheritance Encapsulation Abstraction Polymorphism It's based on the concept of “objects” that contain data and methods. It works on the principle that objects are the most important part of your program.  It allows users to create the OBJECTS that they want and then create METHODS to handle those objects.  Manipulating these objects to get results is the goal of Object Oriented Programming. Simula is considered as the first object-oriented programming language. Smalltalk is considered as the first truly object-oriented programming language. Programming languages can be classified into 3 primary types: A. Unstructured Programming Languages: The most primitive of all programming languages having sequentially flow of control. Code is repeated through out the program B. Structured Programming Languages: Has non-sequentially flow of control. Use of
