Software Test Process (STLC)

a) Test Planning

test lead or test managers are conduct this steps. But all team members

contributions are required.

b) Test design

After understand the requirements, derived test scenario, Test case

documentation, test data collection.

c) Test Execution

Forming test batches->
Sanity testing ( Verify the build is acceptable or not by executing basic

functionalities like login) ->
 Comprehensive testing ( Executing all possible cases)
Defect reporting and tracking
Retesting and modified the build
final regress testing

d) Test Closure

Evaluating the Exit Creteria
Collecing all artifacts from test activities
Preparing the test summary report ( Summarize all test activities)
Finally send test deliverable to customer



Software Quality Standards (Its prvide terminology for Process standared and

documentation standared in organization)

a) ISO Standards

ISO -> Europe based. Its provide terminology for terms like what is 

verification, what is regression etc.. Its provide standared for preapre

documentation


b) IEEE Standards

IEEE= INSTITUE OF ELECTRICAL AND ELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, US Based

organization. Its provide the standared about test process from test

planning to test closure.

c) CMM/CMMI Standards

Capability Maturity Model Integration - Provide the process for the software

development.


Difference between Quality and testing

if we are good in testing, its improve the Quality.


Focusing Area for tester

a) Understanding the Software Requirements.

Deriving the test scenario and oulines frin software requirements

b) Test case Documentation

input, pre-condition, Post-Condition, Expected result for verify test

conditions

c) Test Data Collection

collect the data for required test execution.


d) Test Execution

Sanity Testing, Comprehensive Testing, ReTesting, Regression testing

e) defect Reporting & Tracking


Unified Functional Testing (UFT)

This is advanced version of QTP. This is called QTP 11.5
