  | Check Test Result? |

This flowchart starts with planning the testing process. Then, it moves to executing a test case. After execution, it checks the test result.

If the test passes, it checks if all tests have passed. If yes, testing ends successfully.

If the test fails, errors are reported and fixed, then the test case is re-executed. This loop continues until all tests pass.

Variations - 2 Challenges

[intermediate] Draw a flowchart for testing a single feature of a software application, including planning, running the test, checking results, and deciding if the feature is ready or needs improvement.

[advanced] Draw a detailed flowchart for quality assurance that includes test planning, multiple test executions, bug reporting, fixing, regression testing, and final approval.
