The primary goal of Software Testing is to verify and validate that the software meets its specified requirements, ensuring its functionality, reliability, and quality.

Acceptance Testing is typically performed by the end-users or stakeholders to validate the software's compliance with their requirements and expectations, rather than being a specific type of Software Testing.

Unit Testing focuses on testing individual units or modules of the software in isolation, verifying their correctness and functionality.

Equivalence Partitioning divides the input domain into equivalence classes, where all inputs within a class are expected to produce the same outcome, and test cases are selected from each class.

Boundary Value Analysis focuses on testing the software's behavior at the boundaries of the input domain, where errors are more likely to occur due to invalid or unexpected inputs.

Decision Table Testing involves creating a table that lists all possible combinations of input conditions and their expected outcomes, facilitating the generation of comprehensive test cases.

State Transition Testing focuses on testing the transitions between different states of the software, ensuring that the software behaves correctly when moving from one state to another.

Model-Based Testing involves creating a model of the software's behavior and using it to generate test cases, ensuring that the test cases cover all possible scenarios and requirements.

Risk-Based Testing aims to identify and prioritize the most critical risks in the software, allowing testers to focus on testing areas with the highest potential impact on the software's quality and reliability.

Exploratory Testing involves testing the software without a predefined set of test cases or a formal test plan, allowing testers to explore the software's functionality and identify potential issues based on their knowledge and experience.

Performance Testing aims to evaluate the software's response time, throughput, and scalability under different workloads and conditions, ensuring that the software meets its performance requirements.

Fault Injection Testing involves injecting faults into the software to assess its fault tolerance and recovery mechanisms, ensuring that the software can handle unexpected errors and failures gracefully.

Security Testing aims to identify and exploit vulnerabilities in the software, allowing organizations to address security risks and protect their systems from unauthorized access and attacks.

Usability Testing involves evaluating the software's ease of use, learnability, and overall user experience, ensuring that the software is intuitive and user-friendly.

Compatibility Testing aims to ensure that the software works correctly on different platforms and devices, ensuring its compatibility with various hardware, operating systems, and software configurations.
