Making sure software and mobile apps are dependable and of high quality is crucial in the fast-paced, technologically-driven world of today. A thorough and well-defined testing procedure is the first step on the road to developing outstanding software. Quality assurance is a dedication to excellence rather than just a procedure. Sreyas IT Solutions has been able to consistently provide high-quality software and mobile apps because of its industry standards, best practices, and critical insights. These have helped us with everything from test planning and design to execution, defect tracking, and continuous improvement.
The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a systematic and organized technique to guarantee software application quality and dependability. It is an important stage in the software development process that involves planning, creating, executing, and reporting on various testing activities.STLC is critical in minimizing software development risks by finding and addressing faults before they reach end users. It helps in cost savings by lowering the costs of post-release fault correction and maintenance. Furthermore, it boosts user happiness and confidence in the program, thus helping an organization’s reputation and competitive edge. Sreyas IT Solutions is very diligent in testing the application, we provide different types of manual testing.
Our Approach and Methods for a Successful STLC
- Requirement Gathering and Analysis: We begin by understanding the particular needs of the customer. This covers the type of software that needs to be developed, also identifies the target audience, and specifies the anticipated features in the Software Requirement Specification (SRS) documentation.
- Test Planning and Environment Setup: A test plan outlines the goals, resources, schedule, tactics, and scope of the testing. The team frequently discusses and shares this strategy with the customer to ensure it meets their expectations. Test scenarios and test cases are developed based on the client’s specified requirements. The company configures the testing environment, including all the necessary hardware, software, and network settings.
- Test Execution: The tester tests the developed software in the test environment, executing the test cases and comparing the actual results with the expected results. At Sreyas, we conduct various types of manual testing to fulfill our client’s requests. Functional testing, UI testing, compatibility testing, penetration testing, usability testing, and many more.
- Defect Reporting and Tracking: The tester reports any issues or bugs that arise during testing to the corresponding developers through a defect report document. We prioritize defects based on their severity and frequently track the reported defects to ensure their management and resolution. The tester generates defect reports, which help us update the client regularly.
- Regression Testing: After the developer fixes all the reported defects, the tester conducts regression testing to ensure that the error fix has not created new errors and that the existing functionality remains unaffected.
- Client Review and Feedback: Sreyas follows agile methodology, which gives much importance to client involvement. We will regularly update the clients on the testing process and actively involve them in the review process. This allows them to express their feedback and requirements, which the team will then consider for the necessary changes.
- Test Closure:As we complete the testing and ensure the software meets the client’s requirements, we carry out the test closure procedures. We summarize all the testing activities, results, and necessary improvements, and we hand over the documents requested by the client.
Post Launch Support
Sreyas offers post-launch support to our clients, the services include maintenance, and testing to address issues that may arise during the production. Continuous improvement of the site by testing as per the request of the client, which is also provided by Sreyas.
The benefits that Sreyas has seen after executing STLC in software development are given below:
- The requirements of the clients are clearly specified for each stage of the project. Thus increasing the consistency and effectiveness of testing resulting in better fulfillment of the client’s expectations.
- Defining the goals of each test clearly can help to thoroughly test the functions, thus preventing defects from propagating to subsequent stages of development.
- Early bug detection conducted during the development phase can save time and effort than fixing them later.
- Identifies the most effective testing techniques for each feature, and thus attain maximum product quality.
Thus Software Testing Life Cycle is an approach that brings numerous benefits to the development projects. STLC ensures that high-quality projects with minimum risk and cost are provided for user satisfaction.
