ISTQB is the industry standard for software testing. They have a lot of excellent documentation around testing on their website. Testing can be done manually or automated using tools (like Selenium) and coding.

Extensibility is how you could add to your software project in the future. You will need to do regression testing if you extend your software. This means you don't just test the new part of your software, you test the existing parts too to make sure the new part is causing any issues with the existing platform.

Stability testing is how well your software copes under heavy usage. Say you build a Web application. You get one user to test and it works fine. How well does your Web application cope when 1000 users are hitting it at the same time? With stability testing you would usually consider automation for testing as you want to see the system performance over a period of time.

It is a javascript test framework that runs your code and you write assertions based on what your expected outcomes should be. You should show the tests assertions running your code and meeting your expected outcomes.

It is good idea to show that when you break your code the test fails.
