Software testing life cycle
Principles of software testing
Students will learn about Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC), a process used to design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain software applications. It consists of several stages, each with its own set of goals and activities:
SDLC Life cycle
Planning: In this stage, requirements are gathered and analyzed, project plans are created, and risks and constraints are identified.
Design: In this stage, technical specifications are created, architecture and design are developed, and wireframes and mockups are produced.
Development: In this stage, code is written and the design is implemented. Code reviews are conducted, and unit testing is performed.
Testing: In this stage, various types of testing are conducted, including system testing, integration testing, and user acceptance testing. Test plans and test cases are created.
Deployment: In this stage, the software is prepared for deployment, including migration of data, and the software is deployed in a production environment. Performance is monitored, and stability is ensured.
Maintenance: In this stage, bugs and defects are fixed, updates and enhancements are made, and system security is monitored and maintained.
In this module, students will learn about Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) models which are the different approaches used to manage the process of software development.
SDLC Models:
a) Sequential Models
1) Waterfall Model
2) ‘V’ Model
b) Incremental / Iterative Models
1) Prototype Model
2) Spiral Model
3) Agile Model
This module covers various types of software testing. Software testing methodology refers to the strategies and testing types utilized to ensure that the application being tested meets the client's expectations.

As software continues to play an increasingly important role in all aspects of life, the demand for software testers is growing. Companies need people who can ensure that their software is working correctly, making manual software testing a stable and in-demand career choice.
With the rise of automation and artificial intelligence, some jobs are at risk of becoming obsolete. However, manual software testing is a task that is difficult to automate, so it is likely to remain relevant for the foreseeable future.
Software testing is needed in a wide range of industries, from healthcare to finance to gaming. This means that software testers have the opportunity to work in a variety of fields, which can make the job more interesting and fulfilling.
Manual software testing is a highly specialized field, which means that skilled software testers can command a good salary. According to Glassdoor, the average salary for a manual software tester in the United States is around $70,000 per year.
As software testers gain experience and develop their skills, they can take on more challenging roles and responsibilities. This can lead to promotions and career advancement opportunities. Most Manual testers progress to QA automation, Software development, DevOps, or Cloud Engineering.
