In the rush to implement CI/CD, many development teams overlook the fundamental structure of the Software Testing Life Cycle. We often focus on "how to code" but forget "how to verify" systematically.
From my experience, a fragmented testing process is usually the result of skipping key STLC phases, like Requirement Analysis or Environment Setup. When you align your coding sprints with a structured **stlc life cycle**, you drastically reduce the time spent on debugging and hotfixing in production.
I’ve been using this [software testing life cycle guide as a blueprint for our team's workflow. It breaks down the entry and exit criteria for each stage, which is essential for maintaining a high deployment frequency without sacrificing quality.
**Quick question for the devs here:**
How do you integrate the Test Design phase into your Jira/GitHub workflow? Do you wait for a stable build, or do you start "shifting left" during the initial coding phase?
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on balancing speed and STLC standards!
