available
- Development testing is complete and Development test
report made available
- All Development test defects are closed
- Build (code components) is promoted to testing environment
- Integration test execution plan is finalized
Exit Criteria:
- Expected test coverage is achieved
- All test cases are executed successfully and Identified
product risks are mitigated

product quality is achieved
Deliverables:
- Test Report

------------------------------------------------------
Test Policy: which is intended to be used by all
stakeholders of testing to understand the strategic
approach to testing and how the stakeholders can use the
testing services to improve the quality of the application
under maintenance and development.
As example:
- Acceptance and Approval Processes
* Build Acceptance
> Satisfactory completion of development tests
> Availability of development tests, test results,
defect report to review
> Development tests and results are available in the
test tool
>Demonstration of changes where possible like user
interface changes / new interface
- Deliverable Acceptance
- Test Strategy Deviation Approval
