This life cycle is used for standard applications that are
built from various custom technologies and follow the normal
or standard testing approach. The Application or
custom-build Lifecycle and its phases is depicted below:
Test Requirements
• Requirement Specification documents
• Functional Specification documents
• Design Specification documents (use cases, etc)
• Use case Documents
• Test Trace-ability Matrix for identifying Test Coverage
Test Planning
• Test Scope, Test Environment
• Different Test phase and Test Methodologies
• Manual and Automation Testing
• Defect Mgmt, Configuration Mgmt, Risk Mgmt. Etc
• Evaluation & identification – Test, Defect tracking tools
Test Environment Setup
• Test Bed installation and configuration
• Network connectivity’s
• All the Software/ tools Installation and configuration
• Coordination with Vendors and others
Test Design
• Test Traceability Matrix and Test coverage
• Test Scenarios Identification & Test Case preparation
• Test data and Test scripts preparation
• Test case reviews and Approval
• Base lining under Configuration Management
Test Automation
• Automation requirement identification
• Tool Evaluation and Identification.
• Designing or identifying Framework and scripting
• Script Integration, Review and Approval
• Base lining under Configuration Management
Test Execution and Defect Tracking
• Executing Test cases
• Testing Test Scripts
• Capture, review and analyze Test Results
• Raised the defects and tracking for its closure
Test Reports and Acceptance

Answer / hiren
STLC mainly consist of 2 phases
1)Verification &
2)Validation
Verification is the Reviewing part,in which
tester has to review all documents related to URS(User
requirement specification),SRS(System requirement
specification),FRS(Function Requirement specification) etc.
Validation is the actual testing
phase,where tester has to perform testing as per the test
planning by using Black-Box & White box testing.there are
different validation method like,
1)Unit testing
2)Integration testing
3)function testing
4)System testing
5)Acceptance testing.
