Initially when the build is ready the testing team will do 
the smoke testing to test all major functionalities and 
once the smoke testing is sucessfully will move to the 
depth (execution)

Once build is given to tester

1. Smoke testing
2. Ad hoc testing
3. Integration testing
4. System testing
5. Performance testing
6. Acceptance testing

In the above answer, tester will not perform Integration 
testing on the application.

Mr.Mohan you said that the tester will not involve in 
integration testing...
but both white box and black box testing is done in the 
integration tsting levels..
so both developer and tester will involve in this testing 
level..
we cant surely say that tester is not involved.. it depends 
on the project modules.
Sorry if i hurt youwith the answer.

Firstly we need to know the Build is available for which 
phase i.e. either for IT or ST or UAT and the tester 
actions will be like this:
1. Sanity Testing.
2. In depth executing the test cases which are prepared 
i.e. validating as per as the Business requirements whether 
met or not. ( This can be either IT or ST or UAT testing 
depends on the which phase we are in).
3. Ad-hoc testing will be done parellely.
