STEMâ„¢

STEMâ„¢ is the method centric approach that consists of scientific concepts to perform the different activities in the test lifecycle like design, strategize, automate, measure and manage. To ensure that these can be applied in a consistent way, STEM 2.0 in addition to scientific concepts has a set of disciplined steps to implement the same.

The highlight of stem is its intense purposefulness to its goal of clean software. The key aspect of stem is in hypothesizing defects and then scientifically figuring out when, where and how they can be detected in an effective and efficient manner.

STEM 2.0 views the act of producing clean software a THREE phase activity. The three phases are -
•   Do we clearly understand WHAT to do?
•   Do we know HOW to achieve this?
•   How well have we DONE this?


STEM 2.0 consists of steps grouped by disciplines that are used applied in the various phases. The three phases and the associated disciplined are called STEM Way and represents that the process model for implementation. STEM Way is collection of THREE phases and EIGHT disciplines. These steps are powered by scientific concepts. These collections of scientific concepts are called STEM Core. There are THIRTY TWO core concepts that are applied in the EIGHT disciplines.
