Which testing process is part of the Installation test during the development phase?

Requirement
System design
Code
External specification

The correct answer is: Code

The installation test is a critical part of the software testing process, specifically designed to verify that the software can be correctly installed and configured in a target environment. During the development phase, the installation test focuses on validating whether the code that has been developed is functioning properly in the intended environment. The code itself plays a central role in this process; it is the actual implementation of the requirements and designs that the team has created. During the installation test, testers will ensure that the compiled code, when deployed, integrates well with the operating system, dependencies, and any Required configurations. This includes checking for successful installation, any necessary system reboots, and ensuring that the software behaves as expected after installation. The other aspects mentioned—requirements, system design, and external specifications—while important to the overall software development lifecycle, do not directly relate to the installation test that evaluates the executable code against the intended environment and functionality. Instead, these are earlier stages that contribute to the quality and usability of the final code but do not involve the direct testing of the installation process itself.
