It's a process that's made up of multiple activities, all working together to ensure quality. These activities are crucial, and knowing them will give you a really strong foundation. The first activity is test planning. Now, before any testing begins, we need a roadmap. Planning involves setting goals, defining the scope of testing, and allocating resources. And without planning, we're just testing blindly. Then we move on to test analysis and design. This is where we determine what needs to be tested and how we'll do it. Think of this as sketching out the blueprint for testing. After that comes test implementation and execution. This is the phase everyone associates with testing. It's where we run the tests we've prepared and start finding the defects. Once the tests are complete, we move on to test monitoring and control. This step is all about tracking…
