Test cycles are designed based on the type of project the test team is working on. While designing test cycles, the test team performs the following tasks:
- Validates the test coverage: This ensures that the test execution phase includes all of the test cases that are required to validate all of the requirements.
- Estimates the efforts: Based on the complexity of the requirements, the priority of the test cases, the current skill level of the assigned resources, the availability of the testing tools, and the scope and allotted time, the test team estimates the time required to complete the test execution.
- Defines iterations: If several defects are found during the initial test execution iteration, which results in a huge impact on the features of the application, the test team can always add another test execution iteration. Depending on the number of cycles...
