Abstract
Software testing is an indispensable pillar in the software development lifecycle, guaranteeing the functionality, robustness, and security of applications. The two most predominant frameworks for executing software testing are the Traditional (Waterfall) model and the Agile paradigm. This paper delves into the core distinctions between these methodologies, focusing on their testing philosophies, workflows, and operational practices. By scrutinizing their defining characteristics, benefits, and constraints, this comparative analysis offers an in-depth exploration of how each methodology tackles quality assurance and its significance in the context of contemporary software engineering.
