- Test execution is a specific step in the STLC which consists of several other steps such as requirements analysis, test planning, test environment setup, and test cycle closure.
- Executing tests and managing execution results in a scalable and efficient manner turns out to be a complex undertaking as the number of testing tools, CI/CD systems, engineers and applications grows.
