As ISTQB describes the software development lifecylce, several software development models can be utilized, including:
Sequential Models
- Waterfall Model
- V-Model
- V-Model XT (Extreme Tailored)
- W-Model
Iterative Models
- Agile Approaches
- SCRUM
- SAFe
- Spiral Model
- Incremental Model
- Evolutionary Model
- Rapid Application Development (RAD)
ISTQB Test concepts aim to be created as early as possible, therefore a mapping for given software development models makes sense. Please find attached an example for the sequential V-Model including a mapping for test concepts and Test Stages:
