STLC stands for 'Software Testing Life Cycle'. It spans across the SDLC. Right beginning from the requirement gathering phase to release of the product to alpha stage or beta stage. This means what we do in a complete cycle of testing. Here you go:
1. Requirement phase
Discuss with clients, prepare the document, get the feedback and get a sign off from the client. Here you may prepare Use case document. Usually the program manager prepares the requirements but it's better for a QA to get involved from the beginning.
2. Prepare the Test plan
Prepare the test plan i.e. how to carry out the testing, what to test, what not to test, the approach, methods, the tools to use, automation scope, references, deliverables, risks and it's mitigations, dependencies etc.
3. Derive test scenarios from the Use cases
Think of a lot of situations, scenarios, prepare traceability matrix or dependency matrix etc.
4. Derive test cases from the test scenarios
Write the test cases in the company/client's template because sometimes it is needed to import into the database through various tools. Send for review, discuss with lead, team mates, find out more scenarios for all aspects like positive, negative, compatibility (web testing) etc.
Make test cases clear and maintain in different sheets, upload it in svn/vss/cvs or any repository. Modify it on demand etc.
5. Test case execution
Execute the test cases against the build received, do a smoke test on that, prepare test result report, prepare bug report, send the bug statistics to team/lead/manager/client. This can be done first on local test server and then staging.
6. Regression testing
Do a thorough regression testing for the fixed bugs. reopen, log bugs in case it is necessary.
7. Release the product
QA is the person who can sign off the product though many times it is dependent on the manager's decision to sign off or not. Maintain proper release document whether it is a hotfix or a feature release, bugs & CRs that are part of the milestones etc.
Finally the QA's job is over and move on to next release milestone and repeat the same task.
Happy testing :)
