Test Implementation and Execution

In the Test implementation and execution phase, test cases are written, Test data is created, optionally test harness is created and test scripts get generated for Test Automation. In this phase, Test Cases are also executed and the outcome is noted. If the outcome is not what expected, Defect is created and the Defect Life Cycle starts. If the outcome matches with the expected then the result is logged. During the Defect Life Cycle, Confirmation testing also get performed. Confirmation testing gets performed by the tester to confirm that the defect has actually been fixed.
