1. Requirement Analysis: Tester analyses the requirement document of SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) to examine the requirements stated by the client.

[{"selector":"#anim-07056790-0603-4c91-8741-d78dde2a0f06","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a4a78fcc-be3b-49f0-bf79-117dc477ad20","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-dad4e53c-ca59-4172-a5b6-db7e373f5216 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

2. Test Planning: Test plan creation is the crucial phase of the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) where all the testing strategies are defined.

[{"selector":"#anim-a156234e-aec6-4a81-ba53-58f51ee98657","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-734f4647-7938-45ff-8284-da3e0933c98d","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-63d84a4e-f2ee-4514-b2e2-c170555841c5 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(-6.279485531684475%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

3. Test Case Development: The Test Case Development Phase involves the creation, verification, and rework of test cases & test scripts after the test plan is ready.

[{"selector":"#anim-8717383b-94e6-4418-a745-79b937c21186","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-88d0f50b-1127-478c-b1e4-7f0aafe30d4e","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-916400e4-3134-4d0b-a426-aa019a9557cb [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(1.9183256821356736%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

4. Environment Setup: Setup of the test environment is an independent activity and can be started along with Test Case Development.

[{"selector":"#anim-a552ac4c-1f56-466f-980a-c1f13b87bed9","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-479b10f7-2e1b-4202-9004-00d83b738d63","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-96afd87c-9021-4fa0-91b0-f7721eb3d87f [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

5. Test case Execution: Test case Execution can be done after the successful completion of test case design and planning.

[{"selector":"#anim-03229f21-ebdc-458b-9d0a-bb35376c0e59","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ecfc4604-11fa-4e11-a141-f998846cd640","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4f57fa9-d59e-42b4-bab1-c4a4215bdf69 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(0%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}]

6. Test Cycle Closure: Test documentation is a report of testing.

[{"selector":"#anim-a3224409-c33b-453e-8a5a-38a21a3629c1","keyframes":{"opacity":[1,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a03bb120-dd7a-40e4-a3bb-5c4112bd6f89","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(3)","scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e2800ffb-2249-4a2b-b736-6d5de825eefc [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate(12.503702939554676%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"forwards"}] Learn more
