The STLC phase by phase
The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) describes the ordered phases of the testing activity. It is not the same as the SDLC: the STLC focuses exclusively on testing and lives within the SDLC.
- Test requirements analysis: what will be tested.
- Test planning: strategy, resources, scope.
- Test case design: techniques and concrete cases.
- Test environment and data setup.
- Test execution and result logging.
- Closure: metrics, report and lessons learned.
Each phase has entry and exit criteria: conditions that must be met to start or to consider the phase complete.
