Process & Planning

For STQC testing services, define the objective first: functional verification, security testing, performance testing or acceptance testing. Contact the IT centre, agree scope and fee, share documentation and the test environment, and sign the work order. STQC prepares a test plan, runs tests, reports defects and retests after fixes, and finally issues the report. Planning checklist: freeze the build before testing, provide realistic test data, assign a point of contact and allow time for fix-and-retest cycles.
