Testing - What is PDCA cycle?

Explain the PDCA cycle.

PDCA is a four step problem solving process. The following are the explanation of each step:

1. P - Plan (Devise your Plan). Recognize an opportunity and plan a change.
2. D – Do (or Execute) the Plan. Implement change and Test the change. Carry out a small-scale study. Testing fit in this stage.
3. C – Check (Check the Results). Review the test, analyze the results and identify what you’ve learned.
4. A - Act (Take the necessary action) Take action based on what results are found: If the change did not work, go through the cycle again with a different plan. If you were successful, incorporate what you learned from the test into wider changes. Use what you learned to plan new improvements, beginning the cycle again.

PDCA stands for Plan Do Check Act.

P – Plan: a test that is aimed at improvement.
D – Do : Carrying the test.
C – Check: Leads to the results of issues, fixes
A – Act: Adopting the change.

PDCA cycle is designed for using as a dynamic model for testing. After completing the turn of one cycle leads to begin the next cycle. Followed by the continuous quality improvement, the process can be reanalyzed and a new test change begins. The continual cycle of change is represented for the ramp of improvement.

PDCA cycle stands for Plan Do Check Act; commonly used for quality control.

Plan: Identify aim and procedure necessary to deliver the output.
Do: Implement the plan.
Check: Confirm if the result is as per plan.
Action: Take appropriate action to deceiver expected outcome. Which may also involve repeat the cycle.
Testing - What are white-box, black-box and gray-box testing?
What are white-box, black-box and gray-box testing? - White Box testing: white box testing involves thorough testing of the application. It requires knowledge of code and the test cases chosen verifies if the system is implemented as expected.........
Testing - Difference between Latent and Masked Defect
Difference between Latent and Masked Defect - Latent defects are defects which remain in the system, however, identified later. They remain in the system for a long time..........
Testing - What is Big-bang waterfall model?
What is Big-bang waterfall model? - The waterfall model is also known as the Big-bang model because all modules using waterfall module follows the cycle independently and then put together.
