My Friend's reply back to me :
Hi Ray,

Thanks for the support, further to below, i have not really started anything
particularly, as i was mentionining that i am confused with the order of
studying,( i will list the docs which i have with me to study), am just
going through with some or other docs which i get in the google, mainly i
would like to concentrate about the system testing, hence am surfing and
collecting the docs related to the system testing. wrt below today soon
after i have completed few things which you have mentioned below am writing
you this, i have studied and understood about Bug life cycle, in which i
have understood, what a bug is, different stages of a bug, how to define the
bug and deciding the severity of a bug etc. and still looking for the
testing life cycle, i found an article but i did not find its directly
related to the testing life cycle, i will update you again as i proceed and
understand the same.

can you just mention what exactly that i search in google to get the docs
related to system testing, so that am not lost in looking something else...

I expect a lot of support from you , please help me...

Regards
-Sean
