STLC -Software Testing Life Cycle ( ~20 mins)

STLC is a sequence of different activities performed by
the testing team to ensure the quality of the software or
the product.

1. Requirement Analysis
2. Test Planning
3. Test Case Development
4. Test Environment Setup
5. Test Execution
6. Test Closure

Test Environment setup

• This phase includes the setup or installation process of software and hardware which is required for testing the application. In this phase the
  integration of the third party application is also carried out if required in the project.
• After setting up the required software and hardware the installation of build is tested. Once the installation of build is successful and complete
  then the Test Data is generated.
• After the creation of Test data the Smoke testing is executed on the build in order to check whether the basic functionalities are working fine or
  not. This phase can be done in parallel with the Test Case Development phase.

4.1 Activities to be done in Test Environment Setup phase are given below:

• As per the Requirement and Architecture document the list of required software and hardware is prepared
• Setting up of test environment
• Creation of test data
• Installation of build and execution of Smoke testing on it

4.2 Deliverables (Outcome) of Test Environment Setup phase are:

• Test Environment setup is ready
• Test Data is created
• Results of Smoke testing
