Fundamental test process

The most visible part of testing is executing tests. But to be effective and efficient, test plans should also include time to be spent on planning the tests, designing test cases, preparing for execution and evaluating status.

The fundamental test process consists of the following main activities:

  • planning and control;
  • analysis and design;
  • implementation and execution;
  • evaluating exit criteria and reporting;
  • test closure activities.

Although logically sequential, the activities in the process may overlap or take place concurrently.
