An introduction to SOFTWARE TESTING LIFECYCLE (STLC)

In today’s digital era where businesses hurry to build new digital products, Software Testing becomes an integral part of that endeavor. Applying software testing properly and with the right tools, Software Testing can speed up the entire Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) and thus accelerate Digital Transformation efforts.

As an indispensable part of SDLC, the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) provides a step-by-step roadmap for the entire testing process. The STLC will be the central theme of this paper, which gives an overview of STLC, its key phases, and activities involved in each phase, as well as the common principles of STLC.
