Unlocking the Secrets of Software Testing Life Cycle: A Comprehensive Diagram Guide

 What  is Software Test Life Cycle?

  • Software Test Life Cycle consist of different activities performed by testing team to ensure quality of the software or the application.
  • Software Test Life Cycle starts as soon as we get the Requirement Documents from the end user.
  • When the development of the application is over , testers are ready with the test cases and start with test case execution. This helps us to find bugs in the starting phase.
  • Let us understand Software Test life cycle with the help of diagram.
  • System Study: When requirement document is ready and shared by the end user then the testing team start high level study of the application under test.

  • Write Test Plan: It consist of future testing activities to be done like number of resources required , Types of testing to be done, Test estimation etc.
  • Write Test Cases: In this phase all the end to end test cases of each and every module of the application is written.
  • Prepare Traceability Matrix: After we write the test cases, we do reverse mapping of test cases against the requirement document to ensure for each and every requirement there is atleast one test case written which can be executed, by doing this it give us minimum coverage.
  • Defect Tracking : Once all the test cases are executed and there are defects found in the application then those defects are reported to the developers , Defects are reported using different defect tracking tools like: Bugzilla, Mantis, Jira etc.
  • Prepare Summary Report or Software Test Coverage Matrix: STCM Report consist of overall report of the testing like number of test cases executed, number of test cases pending, number of test cases passed, number of test cases executed. Based on STCM report end user finds it easy to verify quality product is developed or not.
  • Sample summary report:
