Goals:

1. Goal 1: Establish a software test organization;

2. Goal 2: Establish a technical training program;

3. Goal 3: Integrate testing into the software life cycle;

4. Goal 4: Control and monitor Testing;

• In this phase testing is no longer considered as a phase after coding , testing is integrated throughout the entire software development life cycle.

• Here, test planning begins at the requirements phase and continues throughout the software development life cycle supported by a “ v-model”.

• Test plans are established with respect to requirements based on the user needs, and these are used for test case design.

• Entire testing process is monitored whether it is going according to the plan or not and actions are taken if any deviations occurred.

• Basic tools are used for the testing process and it is visible in the organization.

• There are no formal review programs that are not yet taken in this phase also.
