Software Testing Life Cycle

Software Testing Life Cycle(STLC):

 

       For testing the Project testing team will follow one Process i.e. Software Testing Life Cycle”.  In Software testing life testing we having different phases like

Following is a Diagrammatic Representation of Different phases in Software Testing Life Cycle   

                                            

            a) Test Planning
            b)Test Design 
            c)Test Execution 
            d) Result Analysis 
            e) Defect Tracking
            f)  Maintenance 

 

  a)Test Planning: In this phase Test Lead (T L) will prepare master test plan with some objectives. Like

                                                                  i.  Test Strategies

                                                                  ii.   Scope

                                                                 iii.   Activities

                                                                 iv.    Deliverable

                                                                 v.    Depends

                                                                 vi.    Risks

                                                                 vii.    Exit and Entry 

        b)Test Case Design: In this phase testing team will write the test cases based up on the Requirements. Some Organizations will write test cases in QC, some Organizations will write test cases in Excel Sheet.

  

             c)Test Execution: In Test Execution phase testing team will execute the test cases based up on the Requirement Documents.

  

             d) Result Analyses: In this phase after completion of test execution testing team will analyse the result. If Expected Result and Actual Result both are same then we can say test case is Pass. If Expected Result and Actual Result both are different then we can say test case is Fail. Once the test case is fail then we have to log a defect, then only development team will come to know having issue in Application. For that some Organization’s using some tools (Bug zilla, QC).  Some Organization’s using Excel Sheets.

 

        e)Defect Tracking: Once the defect is raised we have to track that, and then only we will know it is in which status.
