Software Testing Life cylce is as follows:

1. Test Plan Prepation ( Prepare Test Plan based on Project Summary Document and SRS document)

2. Test Specifications Prepration(Test cases preparation based on Requirement document,use cases,mockup-links(in web based testing) etc)

4. Test Execution-----> 

                       To Perform Manual or Automation based on client requirement and software stability

            a. Manaul Testing

            b. Automation Testing

4. Defect Reporting and Tracking

Test development life cycle contains the following components:

1.Requirements 2.Test Plan 3.Test case 4. Test case execution 5.Report Analysis 6.Bug Analysis 7.Bug Report

The various phases involved in testing, with regard to the software development life cycle are:

1. Requirements stage

      2. Test Plan

           3. Test Design.

               4. Design Reviews

                   5. Code Reviews

                       6. Test Cases preparation.

                           7. Test Execution

                               8. Test Reports.

                                   9. Bugs Reporting

                                      10. Reworking on patches.

                                           11. Release to production.

Test Plan Preparation:  Defines overall testing approach.Test Case Design: Defines what is to be tested and describes the expected results.Test Execution: Execute the test casesTest Log Preparation: Defines the pass and Fail informationDefect Tracking: All fail item are tracked Test Report: Defines the result of overall test Execution

1. Life cycle testing means performing test throughout the system development cycle, not just at the end before implementation.
2. In other words,
Life Cycle testing involves continuous testing of the solution even after the software plans are complete and the tested system implement.
3. And one more.
At predetermined points during the life cycle, the system is tested to ensure that it is being developed properly and that defects are detected at the earliest possible point the life cycle.

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) represents all of the phases related to testing throughout the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).  These phases largely depend on the SDLC employed by the company.  Generally speaking, the STLC can be represented by the following phases of activity:

1) Test Planning: evaluatiing requirements
2) Test Development: creating test cases
3) Text Execution: running test cases
4) Regression Testing: verifying system as a whole functions properly
5) Test Reporting: providing feedback to stakeholders
6) Defect Analysis: determining what needs to be fixed, postponed, etc.
7) Defect Retesting: verifiying fixes
8) Defect Recovery: activities to recover from problems found in production
9) Test Closure: all activities performed when test project is completed

STLC means all the sequential testing activities that take place from the Requirements stage till the Acceptance Testing completion.  This wont inlcude Design review, Code review etc.

Trouble with acronyms is that they date you and often a young tech talking to the DBA may not be talking about the same thing.

I'm ancient compared with you guys but I may have a different answer for you..

SDLC is an IBM Data Ptotocol used in huge high end DataCentres and for Satelite Transmittions
SDLC: Synchronous Data Link Control by IBM

I'll also point you in the direction of Seriously Huge IBM Mainframe sites that use STLC to also be quite different

IT is procedure to test a s/w or product or application.
the different phases involved in STLC are:
1. System study
2. Write test plan.
3. Write test cases.
4. Prepare traceability matrix.
5. Test execution.
6. Defect tracking.
7. Prepare test execution report.
8. Retrospect meeting.

Hi,

STLC basically contains of five stages :

1) Planning and control
2) Analysis and Design
3) Implementation and Execution
4) Evaluating Exit criteria and Reporting
5) Test Closure Activities

Thanks
