V model is model in which testing is done parallel with development. Left side of v model, reflect development input for the corresponding testing activities.

V model is the classic software development model. It encapsulates the steps in Verification and Validation phases for each step in the SDLC. For each phase, the subsequent phase becomes the verification (QA) phase and the corresponding testing phase in the other arm of the V becomes the validating (Testing) phase.


In the Software Development Life Cycle, both the Development activity and the testing activities start almost at the same time with the same information in their hands. The development team will apply "do-procedures" to achieve the goals and the testing team will apply "Check- Procedures" to verify that. Its a parallel process and finally arrives to the product with almost no bugs or errors .

V-model is one of the SDLC STLC; it includes testing from the unit level to business level.

That is after completing the coding tester starts testing the code by keeping the design phase documents that all the modules had been integrated or not, after that he will verify for system is according to the requirements or not, and at last he will go for business scenarios where he can validate by the customer and he can do the alpha testing and beta testing. And at last he decides to have the complete stable product.

The V model shows the Development Cycle Stages and Maps it to Testing Cycles, but it fails to address how to start for all these test levels in parallel to development. It is a parallel activity which would give the tester the domain knowledge and perform more value added, high quality testing with greater efficiency. Also it reduces time since the test plans, test cases, test strategy are prepared during the development stage itself.

The figure shows the brief description of the V-Model kind of testing. Every phase of the STLC in this model corresponds to some activity in the SDLC. The Requirement Analysis would
correspondingly have an acceptance testing activity at the end. The design has Integration
Testing (IT) and the System Integration Testing (SIT) and so on.
