What is included in test implementation?

Test implementation involves the practical aspects of putting testing strategies into action. It specifically focuses on the preparation for testing activities, which includes tasks such as creating automated tests and organizing the test execution order. This is essential in ensuring that the testing process runs smoothly and that tests are executed in a manner that maximizes efficiency and effectiveness.

By automating tests, organizations can increase the speed and accuracy of their testing efforts, as automated tests can be run more frequently than manual tests. Additionally, organizing the execution order is crucial because it allows testers to strategically plan which tests need to be run first based on dependencies and priorities, enabling a more structured approach to testing.

Other tasks such as analyzing test results, designing test cases, and establishing test plans are important components of the overall testing process, but they occur in different phases. Analyzing test results typically takes place after tests have been executed, while designing test cases is part of the test design phase, and establishing test plans is foundational and occurs before the implementation phase. Therefore, these activities do not fall under the purview of test implementation.
