All SDLC models help software teams add structure and organize their software design, development, and testing in specific, targeted ways.

Beta testing catches missed bugs. It is performed externally by users and is one of the final tests to run on a product before release.

The defect life cycle is a sequence of steps that software testers use to find bugs or defects and then track them until fixed and signed off.

It’s essential to know how to write good requirements as a software tester because requirements influence the quality of the end product.

End to end testing is a software testing method that confirms the entire system and all its components function well together as expected.

The Software Testing Life Cycle helps testers to structure and organise their testing process. Each STLC stage has entry and exit criteria.

Regression testing should be done after every code change to ensure the update has not negatively affected any other part of the product. 

Our overview of the software development life cycle explains how the SDLC gives structure and direction to the software development process.

Mind maps are a visual way of breaking down a big problem into more manageable units. Testing mind maps are used by QA to plan testing.

Ahead of the full testing cycle, smoke testing ensures all the main functionality works properly before more thorough testing can commence.
