What is Software Testing? What is the role of a Software tester?

Software testing is the process of trying to discover every conceivable fault or weakness in a work product.Another way,to look at it is,testing is a process of executing a program with the intent of finding an error.
The objective of testing is to find all Possible bugs (defects) in the work product.
A mature view of software testing is the process of reducing the risk of software failure in the field to an acceptable level.
As you can see we take a destructive attitude towards the program when we test,but in a larger context,our work is constructive.

Role of a software tester is to find defects,and find them as early as possible and make sure they get fixed.
