The software testing life cycle (STLC) is the sequence of activities that takes place within the software testing process. By following a logical STLC, an organization is able to develop a quality plan that is more likely to yield superior results. Every organization's ultimate goal is to provide its customers with a flawless product. Customers are easily turned off by bug-filled user experiences. As a result, when businesses became aware of this, they began incorporating testing. Since then, testing has evolved into a critical component of every organization's operation. Over the last few decades, there has been a shift in the competency of testing. It is important for businesses to recognize that software testing should have its own life cycle which can increase the efficiency of testing.
