Test Case Development

• Test Case Specification
• Pre-requisites, post-requisites and Acceptance criteria

Prepare Test Bed

• Test Data Preparation
• Test Environment Setup

Test Execution

• Execute Test cases / Test Scripts and Validate Results
• Defect Reporting
• Defect fixes and retesting

Test Result Analysis
