Don’t Ignore Any Phase Of A Testing Life Cycle!
Testing is a complex process. Like all processes, it has a life cycle. It is called testing life cycle. A testing life cycle consists of some discrete activities that occur in a given order, when the software is developed or used.
There are broadly three types of testing life cycle models. These models are decided on the basis of the application type, and the strategy used. The three testing life cycle models are: Application Testing Life Cycle, Automation Testing Life Cycle, and Package Testing Life Cycle.
Application Testing Life Cycle is used for any standard applications. This life cycle is built from various custom technologies. This life cycle follows a normal or standard testing approach. It is divided into seven phases. They are test requirements, test planning, test environment setup, test design, test automation, test execution and defect tracking, and test reports and acceptance.
Automation Testing Life Cycle is very beneficial as it provides high quality and low time to market. It also reduces the testing time, makes the test procedures consistent. It also reduces the quality analysis costs, and improves the productivity of any testing. The product quality is also improved with the help of an automated life cycle. Package Testing Life Cycle is followed for all the packaged applications such as SAP, Oracle, CRM tools, Siebel, and Supply Chain management applications. The testing life cycle ensures the relevant inputs are fully obtained. It also ensures the adequate carrying out of the planning. The planned execution is also ensured. The results obtained are monitored and reviewed. The testing life cycle also involves the quality management processes and also the project delivery phases. Here, in the testing, life cycle defines the interfaces. Testing life cycle is a vast process. Hence, it involves different phases. Each of the phases has a specific input and a specific output. When a software development project is about to start, project's development can be divided into phases. These phases are Software requirements phase, software Design phase, Implementation phase, Testing phase, and the Maintenance phase. Testing is a very time consuming process. In fact, it consumes the highest amount of time. It is overseen by some developers. But, if the testing is not done properly, the software may contain some errors. So, the testing team should remain active, and involved right from the first phase, the, software requirements stage. All phases of the testing life cycle are very important. Hence, the testing team must pay close attention to them, and ensure there is no error at any phase. It is the only way to avoid any errors in the released software.
