What is Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC)?
The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a systematic approach to testing a software application to ensure that it meets the requirements and is free of defects. It is a process that follows a series of steps or phases, and each phase has specific objectives and deliverables. The STLC is used to ensure that the software is of high quality, reliable, and meets the needs of the end-users.
STLC consist of 5 Phases
- Test Planning
- Test Case Development
- Test Environment Setup
- Test Execution
- Test Closure

Difference between SDLC and STLC
Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) are important parts of software engineering. SDLC has a broad scope; it consists of 6 phases: requirement analysis, design, development, testing, deployment, and maintenance. On the other hand, STLC is a subset of SDLC. It has Focused scope, specially focus on the testing phase of SDLC. The Primary Goal of STLC is to ensure the quality, functionality and reliability of software through various testing activities.
