Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)

The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a structured process that outlines the phases involved in testing software to ensure it meets quality standards. It begins with planning, where goals are set, followed by analyzing requirements to identify what needs testing. Then, test cases are designed and prepared for execution. The next phase involves running the tests and logging any defects found. Finally, the results are evaluated, and testing is completed. The STLC ensures that software is reliable and functions as intended, providing confidence to users and stakeholders.
