An Introduction to Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)
1 min readAug 21, 2020
Software Testing Life Cycle is a sequence of tests to ensure software quality. In the STLC process, each activity is carried out in a planned and systematic way. Each phase has different goals and deliverables. Different organizations have different phases in STLC; however, the basis remains the same.
STLC methods:
- Agile model;
- Waterfall model;
- V-Model;
- Spiral model.
Six major STLC phases:
- Phase 1: Requirements Analysis;
- Phase 2: Test planning;
- Phase 3: The Case Development;
- Phase 4: Test Environment Setup;
- Phase 5: Test Case Execution;
- Phase 6: Test Cycle Closure.
Software Testing Life Cycle can help you better organize your testing workflow, and drive efficiency into an otherwise chaotic process. There are many factors to consider during each phase, and different testing tooling requirements to consider.
