ANALYSIS OF SOFTWARE REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION (SRS)- Software testers start by analyzing the required documents submitted by the clients because if the documents are not precise it may lead to misleading results.
PLANNING THE TESTING PHASE- After document clearance software tester creates relevant test cases and scenarios and puts together the overall testing plans.
FUNCTIONALITY TESTING- Next, a software tester tracks software inconsistencies, retests each defect where possible and also records the results of each test.
RE-TESTING FOR BUGS- For this, a tester develops a regression plan for stable features. Also, after the completion of tests a tester also re-tests for bugs and errors, if any.
FINAL REVIEW AND DEPLOYMENT- When the time comes for deployment the tester also provides support to the client whenever necessary. He supervises the work until the tool is up and running and supervises updates as required.
