Software Testing
Detect defects and enhance quality
❶ Requirements Analysis
Understanding of the system requirements and identification of testing scopes in detail are initially performed.
❷ Test Planning
Test strategy, estimated effort, and schedule are identified. Information related to the project is clearly defined such as background and goal of the project, project scope, test environment requirements, deliverable list, risks management, and communication process.
❸ Test Design
This phase revolves around actual tests themselves, including the number of test cases to be performed, test conditions, and corresponding test approaches. Test design also involves creating and writing test suites that requires granular and detailed input. Based on the input value, expected result is determined.
❹ Test Case Development
A Test Case is a document which consists of a set of conditions or actions that are performed on the system or application in order to verify the expected functionality of each feature. The end-to-end logical flow of a specific requirement with test data, prerequisites, and expected results are described.
❺ Test Case Execution
At this stage, the tester runs the system or application, then matches the expected result versus the actual result based on the created test case document.
❻ Test Closure
Test Closure Document contains a checklist of all of items that must be met in order to formally close a test project such as handing over the deliverables and submitting the documentation to stakeholders. It also covers a list of activities that must be performed after a project is completed.
❼ Delivery
Test results and test reports are submitted to stakeholders.
