| Re: Please explain Testing Process/Test Life Cycle Hi Naveen
Please go throught this and reply me back if any more clarification u want regarding this. also feel free to ask any relevent question of testing. Q. What type of process is going on in your company? A. Generally in my company, testing process starts with test initiation. During test initiation, my Project Manager (or) Quality Analyst will identify current Project Type and specify what are the reasonable tests to be applied on that build in terms of requirements, nature of scope, and risks involved. As per initiation, my Test lead will prepare Test Plan so as what to test, how to test, who to test, and when to test. After test plan Test Engineer will start authoring test cases and after receiving build from the development team, as a test engineer execute all testcases either manually or by using automation tools in terms of Test Impact and Criticality. If there is any task indicating test repetition and complexity then the automation required. In test execution, whenever there are mismatch, we have to send defect tracked report to the development team and after getting resolved all the defects I received modified build from my developer and conduct regression testing to ensure that the application is bug free and will not suffer from any side effects and continue remaining testing. When I complete all testing through execution, I use to send my testcases to my lead who will close the test by conducting a review meeting for completeness and correctness of the testcases.
