When Test Manager/Test planner will write it software requirement plan report that contain his test cases and type of testing etc. to be conducted on build software or following the software requirement specifications. Later tester will follows those test cases from test plan report as per as schedule and distribution mentioned in that.

actually test process starts in this manner

testinitiation------quality manager

testplanning------project manager/testlead

test design,test execution -------testing team

testreports /defetreports--------by testing team to developmentteam if any

test closer---------testlead

inthis process QM decides the project ,its required environment,softwares,hardwares,company status to make that project.

testplanning by PM desides what to test ,how to test,who to test,when to test.

from this PM conducts meeting with all decided team and informs about

the build on which testing is to be done.

In our organization we follos seperate template called QA relse notes which describes which functionality to be testded and what are known issues. This template will be released from the Dev team PL. So based on the QA release notes we start performing the functionality testing.

When the development is done with the build, it is sent to the configuration management team which certifies the build. Post-certificaiton, the build is available for installation.

The build is never moved directly to the QA env, instead it wud be moved to a staging env where someone from the testing team does a Smoke test on it to see there arent any showshoppers and also the features mentioned in the release notes are present and accessible.

When the build passes the smoke test, the build is moved to QA servers and the whole QA team can play around and screw it up :-)

correct build numbers should be built into the binary, and also appear in the documents, and they should agree.  If they do not, this is a serious problem.  You do not want to waste time reporting bugs against a build, if the build number is ambigious or unknown.
programs have a command such as    > build or the build number might appear in the help menu after the product is installed.

The external verification would be on the folder that the build appears in, on the disk, or in some other way.
