2) Analysis of Tests
3) Designing of Tests
4) Creation & Verification of Tests
5) Execution of Testing Cycles
6) Performance Testing, Documentation
7) Actions after Implementation

SDLC(Software Development Life cycle) Models

There are various software development approaches defined and designed which are

particular life cycle in order to ensure success in process of software development.

Different types of SDLC Models are listed below -

1. Waterfall Model
