Test execution: The QA team carries out the tests according to the plan, using manual and/or automated testing methods. They may also perform exploratory testing to identify any issues that were not covered in the initial test plan.

Results analysis: The QA team analyzes the results of the tests, identifying any defects or issues that were found, and categorizing them by severity and priority.

Issue resolution: The development team fixes any defects or issues that were identified during testing, and the QA team verifies that the fixes have been implemented correctly.

Final validation: The QA team performs a final validation of the software application or system, ensuring that all requirements and expectations have been met and that the software is ready for release.

The goal of QA validation is to ensure that software applications and systems are of high quality and meet the needs of their users. This involves not only verifying that the software functions as expected, but also ensuring that it is reliable, secure, and compliant with industry standards and regulations. By carrying out thorough testing and validation, the QA team helps to reduce the risk of defects and issues in the software and helps to ensure that it is delivered on time and within budget.
