Abstract

Early identification of defects and prevention of defects migration are key goals of the testing process. It is highly desirable to optimize the test activities for a fast time-to-market while delivering a product that meets quality expectation. Software engineering research has led to a raft of systematic testing activities applicable during the development life cycle. Software test process elaborates various testing activities and describes which activity is to be carried out when. Given the need and significance of phased approach of testing, this paper proposes a prescriptive framework elaborating testing activities to be carried out while integrating it within the development life cycle.
