2.1.1 Impact of the Software Development Lifecycle on Testing

Question 1

The choice of the SDLC impacts on the:
- Scope and timing of test “a…” (e.g., test “ “ and test “t…”)
- Level of detail of test “ “
- Choice of test techniques and test “ “
- Extent of test “a…”
- Role and responsibilities of a “ “

Answer 1

• activities
  levels

• documentation
• approach
• automation
• tester

Question 2

In sequential development models, in the initial phases, testers typically participate in:
