Phases of Software Testing / Manual Testing Process

The Process consists of various sequential steps. It is also called Software Testing Life Cycle(STLC). STLC includes :- • Test Plan • Test Development • Test Execution • Analyse Results • Defect Tracking • Summarise Report

Test Plan :

It is a document which describes the testing environment, purpose, scope, objectives, test strategy, schedules, mile stones, testing tool, roles and responsibilities, risks, training, staffing and who is going to test the application, what type of tests should be performed and how it will track the defects.

Test Development :

• Preparing test cases • Preparing test data • Preparing test procedure • Preparing test scenario • Writing test script

Test Execution :

In this phase we execute the documents those are prepared in test development phase.

Analyse result :

Once executed documents will get results either pass or fail. we need to analyse the results during this phase.

Defect Tracking :

When ever we get defect on the application we need to prepare the bug report file and forwards to Test Team Lead and Dev Team. The Dev Team will fix the bug. Again we have to test the application. This cycle repeats till we get the software with our defects.

Summarise Reports :

• Test Reports • Bug Reports • Test Documentation
