The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a step-by-step process used by quality assurance teams to test software. It has six main phases: Requirement Analysis, Test Planning, Test Case Development, Test Environment Setup, Test Execution, and Test Closure.
1. Requirement Analysis:
- Read the project rules and documents.
- Find out what features to test.
- Talk to the team if anything is unclear.
2. Test Planning:
- Write down the test strategy and scope.
- Guess how much time and money it will take.
- Pick tools and assign tasks.
3. Test Case Development:
- Write clear test steps and expected results.
- Prepare test data.
- Check the tests with team leads.
4. Test Environment Setup:
- Build the hardware and software systems for testing.
- Prepare test servers and databases.
- Check if the environment is ready.
5. Test Execution:
- Run the tests.
- Match real results with expected results.
- Write bug reports when things fail.
6. Test Closure:
- Make sure all bugs are fixed or tracked.
- Write a final test summary report.
- Clean up the test area.
