1. SOFTWARE TESTING LIFE CYCLE
Software Testing is a mandatory part of any Software Development process. It ensures that all technical and
business requirements are met satisfactorily. Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a series of systematically
planned phases in case of a waterfall software development approach and continuous iterative & agile in case
of agile or iterative development of software

2. REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
• The QA team interacts with various stakeholders to understand their requirements for
testability. The requirements can be either functional or non-functional in nature.
• Priorities are attached to the requirements for testing.
• The test conditions are defined in this phase. Every test condition should be traceable to a
requirement. To aid this, a Requirement traceability Matrix is maintained where each
requirement is mapped with test conditions. Requirement traceability Matrix helps in
keeping track of testing.
• Testing environment is identified during this phase.

3. TEST PLANNING AND TEST CASE DEVELOPMENT
