Testing In the software dev lifecycle

?
OVERALL CONSIDERATIONS WHEN DEFINING A TEST STRATEGY
The moment of involvement for
the Test Analyst is different for the various SDLCs; the amount of involvement, time required, information
available and expectations can be quite varied as well

TYPES OF INFORMATION TESTERS ARE REQUIRED TO SUPPLY PART 1
• Software development - notifications of defects
• Software maintenance - reports on defects, defect removal efficiency, and confirmation testing
• Technical support - accurate documentation for workarounds and known issues
• Production of technical d

TYPES OF INFORMATION TESTERS ARE REQUIRED TO SUPPLY PART 2
• Requirements engineering and management - requirements reviews feedback
• Project management - schedule input
• Configuration and change management

Test activities must be aligned with the chosen SDLC
Nature may be sequential, iterative,
incremental, or a hybrid

SEQUENTIAL V-MODEL
* System test planning occurs concurrently with project planning, Test monitoring and control and continues until test completion
* System test analysis and design aligns with requirements documents
*Implementation of the system may start at design
* Test
5 of 8
Iterative and incremental models
The models may utilize a reduced set of test activities for each iteration.
Test analysis, design, implementation, and execution may be conducted for each iteration/increment

Agile Developement
* Closer Relationship with stakeholders
* Might not be a well defined test role
* Less formal
* Testing from the outset
* Involvement throughout
* Everyone can test

SDLC Conclusion
Whatever the SDLC being used, Test Analysts need to understand the expectations for involvement as
well as the timing of that involvement. Test Analysts provide an effective contribution to software quality
by adjusting their activities and their moment
