Let’s see, the different steps of STLC.

Software testing life cycle contains the following steps:

  1. Requirement Analysis
  2. Test Plan Creation
  3. Environment setup
  4. Test case Execution
  5. Defect Logging
  6. Test Cycle Closure

Software Testing Life Cycle

Requirement Analysis:

The first step of the manual testing procedure is requirement analysis. In this phase, tester analyses requirement document of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) to examine requirements stated by the client. After examining the requirements, the tester makes a test plan to check whether the software is meeting the requirements or not.

Entry Criteria Activities Deliverable
For the planning of test plan requirement specification, application architecture document and well-defined acceptance criteria should be available. Prepare the list of all requirements and queries, and get resolved from Technical Manager/Lead, System Architecture, Business Analyst and Client.
Make a list of all types of tests (Performance, Functional and security) to be performed.
Make a list of test environment details, which should contain all the necessary tools to execute test cases. List of all the necessary tests for the testable requirements andTest environment details
