Strong Foundation in SDLC & STLC

The document explains the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), which are essential processes for software quality and project execution. SDLC includes phases such as requirement gathering, design, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance, while STLC focuses on requirement analysis, test planning, test case development, test environment setup, test execution, and test cycle closure. Both cycles are crucial for delivering reliable and high-quality software products.

Understanding SDLC and STLC

Introduction
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) are structured
processes used in the development and testing of software products. Understanding both is
essential for ensuring software quality and successful project execution.

Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC)


SDLC is a process used by software developers to design, develop, and test high-quality software. It
provides a structured approach to software development and includes several distinct phases.

Phases of SDLC
1. Requirement Gathering and Analysis: Stakeholders and business analysts gather the business
requirements. A feasibility study is also conducted.
2. Design: System and software design is prepared based on the requirements. Architecture and
design documents are created.
3. Implementation / Coding: Developers write code based on the finalized design.
4. Testing: The software is tested to find and fix defects.
5. Deployment: The application is deployed to a live environment.
6. Maintenance: Ongoing maintenance and updates are performed based on user feedback and
issues.

Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)


STLC is a sequence of specific actions performed during the testing process to ensure software
quality. It includes several phases that guide how testing should be carried out.

Phases of STLC
1. Requirement Analysis: QA team reviews requirements to identify testable elements.
2. Test Planning: Creation of a test strategy and planning of resources and schedules.
3. Test Case Development: Writing test cases and preparing test data.
4. Test Environment Setup: Configuring necessary hardware and software for testing.
5. Test Execution: Executing test cases and logging defects.

6. Test Cycle Closure: Evaluating exit criteria, reporting, and learning from the test cycle.

Summary
Understanding SDLC and STLC is critical for both developers and testers. While SDLC covers the
overall development process, STLC focuses specifically on testing. Both work hand-in-hand to
deliver a reliable and high-quality software product.
