WEB SPIDERS has a well-defined testing Lifecycle, which is applicable to all testing
scenarios. The lifecycle ensures that all the relevant inputs are obtained, the
planning is adequately carried out and the executions are as per plan.
In addition the results are obtained reviewed and monitored. The lifecycle also
defines the interfaces into the overall Quality management processes and also the
Project delivery phases.
The testing life cycle can be broadly classified into three different life cycle
models depending upon the type of application and the test strategy used such as:
Application Testing Life Cycle

technologies and follow the normal or standard testing approach. The Application
or custom-built Lifecycle and its phases is depicted below:
