      Main Description
      Test Execution is the activity stated in order to find errors placed in the code by developers. Testers use test cases, test scripts (when execution is automated) and test suites as main artifacts. If, along test execution, errors are found, testers should report them to be further fixed by components and modules developers, through Change Requests (CR).
      Steps
      Perform tests for critical component's interactions
      The first step is to test critical component's interactions, individually.
      Perform tests of the integration of modules modules
      Secondly, test the integration of the methods contained in the reference architecture.
      Associate a Change Request (CR) to an error, if it was found
      Whenever an error is found, the tester must associate the error with a Change Request (CR).
      Key Considerations
      This activity can be conducted both manually and automatically, following what is described in the test plan, which meets major organizational needs.
