STLC or software testing life cycle is defined as a sequence of activities trough which validity of software is checked using various methods. This is not a single activity method where things can be carried out easily. Every software program is different so need to put various possible methodologies that can be different for the testing. Over years numerous tools and technologies have surged through which things are running quite smoothly for the testing.
Some prominent stages of software testing life cycle are as below:
- Requirement analysis
- Test planning
- Test case development
- Test environment set up
- Test execution
- Test cycle closure
You would have heard about entry and exit criteria for the STLC that we are going to discuss over here.
What are entry criteria? This gives prerequisite items that are needed to be arranged before actual testing starts to take place.
What are exit criteria? This involves various items which must be addressed before completion of the project.
Entry and exit criteria should be properly planned otherwise it can lead to improper testing. What to put and what to avoid can be understood by people who have experience in this field.
