The Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC) is a process followed by testing teams to ensure the quality of a software application. Incremental testing is a type of testing where testing is carried out incrementally, i.e., in small increments or portions.
Here's a brief overview of Incremental STLC:
Requirement Analysis: Understand and analyze the requirements for the software.
Planning: Plan the testing activities, including the scope of testing, resources required, and the testing schedule.
Design: Design the test cases and test scenarios based on the requirements.
Implementation: Execute the designed test cases on the developed software increment.
Test Execution: Execute the tests and report defects.
Defect Fixing: Developers fix the reported defects.
Retesting: Verify that the reported defects are fixed correctly by re-executing the failed test cases.
Integration Testing: Test the integration of the newly developed increment with the existing system.
Regression Testing: Ensure that the changes made in the current increment do not adversely affect the existing functionality.
Deployment: Deploy the tested increment to the production environment.
Feedback: Gather feedback from stakeholders for further improvements.
The incremental approach allows for the testing of individual software components or functions in isolation before integrating them into the entire system. This helps in identifying and fixing issues early in the development process.
Keep in mind that the specific steps and details may vary depending on the development and testing methodologies used in a particular project.
