   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.)

 * Determine project
context, relative to the existing quality culture of the organization
and business, and how it might impact testing scope, aproaches, and
methods.

    * 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
