An STLC is the software testing life cycle that outlines the process used for testing software from planning through reporting results. It consists of several phases that ensure a thorough evaluation of a product’s quality.
Phases of STLC:
- Test Planning: Establishing objectives and resources needed for testing.
- Test Design: Creating test cases based on requirements.
- Test Execution: Performing tests according to design specifications.
- Test Closure: Finalising documentation and reporting outcomes to stakeholders.
STLC provides a structured framework that enhances collaboration between development and testing teams while ensuring comprehensive coverage of all test scenarios.
