   What steps are needed to develop and run software tests? 
The following are some of the steps to consider: 

•Obtain requirements, functional design, and internal design specifications and other necessary documents.

•Obtain budget and schedule requirements 

•Determine
project-related personnel and their responsibilities, reporting
requirements, required standards and processes (such as release
processes, change processes, etc.) 

•Identify application's higher-risk aspects, set priorities, and determine scope and limitations of tests 

•Determine test approaches and methods - unit, integration, functional, system, load, usability tests, etc.

•Determine test environment requirements (hardware, software, communications, etc.) 

•Determine testware requirements (record/playback tools, coverage analyzers, test tracking, problem/bug tracking, etc.) 

•Determine test input data requirements 

•Identify tasks, those responsible for tasks, and labor requirements 

•Set schedule estimates, timelines, milestones 

•Determine input equivalence classes, boundary value analyses, error classes 

•Prepare test plan document and have needed reviews/approvals 

•Write test cases 

•Have needed reviews/inspections/approvals of test cases 

•Prepare
test environment and testware, obtain needed user manuals/reference
documents/configuration guides/installation guides, set up test
tracking processes, set up logging and archiving processes, set up or
obtain test input data 

•Obtain and install software releases 

•Perform tests 

•Evaluate and report results 

•Track problems/bugs and fixes 

•Retest as needed 

•Maintain and update test plans, test cases, test environment, and testware through life cycle
