What to Know Before using Provar Manager
Overview of a Testing Life Cycle
Testing is an important aspect of any software development life cycle, involving a wide variety of activities that can also be defined as a separate life cycle running sequentially (i.e. Waterfall) or in parallel (i.e. Agile). Depending on the chosen approach to software development (e.g. Waterfall, Agile, etc.), these testing activities will occur at different times, with more or less level of importance, and with varying levels of detail.
Regardless of this, the activities themselves can be categorised as follows:
- Requirement analysis – The QA team tries to understand the software requirements in detail, often communicating with various stakeholders, and starts considering what sort of tests should be done and in what way (e.g., manual vs automated).
- Test Planning – The QA team determines the strategy, resources, limitations, efforts, and costs involved in the testing endeavor.
- Test Case Design – The QA team creates, verifies, and improves test cases and test scripts.
- Test Environment Setup – The QA team decides the software and hardware conditions under which the applications will be tested and also performs readiness checks of those environments.
- Test Execution – The QA team tests based on the designed test cases and according to the test plans. These activities include the execution of test scripts, their maintenance, and the reporting of bugs
- Test Result Analytics – The results of the previous testing activities are collected so that the QA team can meet, discuss, and analyze the data to improve future executions.
