Software Testing Life Cycle

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a structured process consisting of six phases: Requirement Analysis, Test Planning, Test Case Development, Test Environment Setup, Test Execution, and Test Closure, aimed at ensuring software quality and defect-free performance. Each phase has specific objectives, such as identifying testing needs, creating test plans, developing test cases, setting up environments, executing tests, and closing the testing process with reports and approvals. This systematic approach helps in identifying and resolving issues early in the software development process.

Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) :

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a systematic approach to testing a


software application to ensure that it meets the requirements and is free of
defects. It is a process that follows a series of steps or phases, and each
phase has specific objectives and deliverables.

### 1. **Requirement Analysis**

- Understand what needs to be tested in the software.

- Identify what types of testing are needed (like checking how the software
works or if it’s safe).

- Ask questions if anything is unclear about the requirements.

- Find possible risks or problems that might come up.

- Make sure every part of the software can be tested.

- Create a plan to track all the requirements during testing.

### 2. **Test Planning**

- Create a plan for how the testing will be done.

- Decide what tools and people are needed for testing.

- Set a schedule for when testing will happen.

- Identify any risks and how to handle them.

- Set the budget and cost for testing.

- List all the things that will be delivered, like test results and defect
reports.

### 3. **Test Case Development**

- Write step-by-step test cases based on the requirements.

- Make sure both good and bad situations are tested.


- Prepare the data needed to run these tests.

- Make sure every test is linked to a requirement.

- Have someone review the test cases for accuracy.

- Create automated scripts if needed.

### 4. **Test Environment Setup**

- Set up the environment needed to run the tests.

- Make sure the test environment is similar to the real-world environment.

- Install the tools and software needed for testing.

- Set up any databases and other systems required.

- Check if the test environment is ready by running simple tests.

- Fix any issues with the environment before starting tests.

### 5. **Test Execution**

- Run the test cases and record the results.

- Report any bugs or defects you find.

- Once the defects are fixed, test again to ensure they’re resolved.

- Check if the software behaves as expected.

- Perform extra testing to find any hidden issues.

- Update the team on how the testing is going.

### 6. **Test Closure**

- Make sure all tests are done, and critical defects are fixed.

- Write a summary report on the testing process.

- Have a meeting to discuss what went well and what can be improved.

- Save all test materials for future use.

- Give the final approval for the software to move forward.


- Review the success of testing using key performance indicators (KPIs).

Each step helps make sure the software works correctly and any issues are
found and fixed early.
