Requirements analysis: Testing should begin in the
requirements phase of the software development life cycle.
During the design phase, testers work with developers in
determining what aspects of a design are testable and with
what parameters those tests work.
Test planning: Test strategy, test plan, testbed creation.
A lot of activities will be carried out during testing, so
that a plan is needed.
Test development: Test procedures, test scenarios, test
cases, test datasets, test scripts to use in testing
software.
Test execution: Testers execute the software based on the
plans and tests and report any errors found to the
development team.
Test reporting: Once testing is completed, testers generate
metrics and make final reports on their test effort and
whether or not the software tested is ready for release.
Test result analysis: Or Defect Analysis, is done by the
development team usually along with the client, in order to
decide what defects should be treated, fixed, rejected
(i.e. found software working properly) or deferred to be
dealt with at a later time.
Retesting of resolved defects: Once a defect has been dealt
with by the development team, it is retested by the testing
team.
Regression testing: It is common to have a small test
program built of a subset of tests, for each integration of
new, modified or fixed software, in order to ensure that
the latest delivery has not ruined anything, and that the
software product as a whole is still working correctly.
Test Closure: Once the test meets the exit criteria, the
activities such as capturing the key outputs, lessons
learned, results, logs, documents related to the project
are archived and used as a reference for future projects.
