There are four steps in a normal software development process. In short, these steps are referred to as PDCA.
Plan : It defines the goal and the plan for achieving that goal.
Do/ Execute : It depends on the plan strategy decided during the planning stage. It is done according to this phase.
Check : This is the testing part of the software development phase. It is used to ensure that we are moving according to plan and getting the desired result.
Act : This step is used to solve if there any issue has occurred during the check cycle. It takes appropriate action accordingly and revises the plan again.
The developers do the "planning and building" of the project while testers do the "check" part of the project.
