Description: Interface testing focuses on the interactions between different software modules to ensure they work together as expected. These tests are crucial in software development as they help identify issues in communication between components, ensuring that data flows correctly and functionalities integrate effectively. Interface testing can encompass everything from API verification to validating interactions between various software components, databases, and applications. They are typically conducted after unit tests, which evaluate each module in isolation, and before system tests, which examine the software as a whole. Automating these tests is common, as it allows for rapid and repetitive execution, which is essential in agile development and CI/CD (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment) environments. By implementing interface tests, development teams can detect and correct errors at early stages, reducing costs and improving the quality of the final software. Furthermore, these tests are fundamental to ensuring that updates or changes to one module do not negatively impact other components of the system, thus maintaining the stability and functionality of the software over time.
