8. Performing Tests

1. Execute Tests - Perform the activities necessary to execute tests in accordance with the test plan and test design (including setting up tests, preparing data base(s), obtaining technical support, and scheduling resources).
2. Compare Actual versus Expected Results - Determine if the actual results met expectations (note: comparisons may be automated).
3. Test Log - Logging tests in a desired form. This includes incidents not related to testing, but still stopping testing from occurring.
4. Record Discrepancies - Documenting defects as they happen including supporting evidence.
