What is test plan?

Explain all sections of the current template


INTRODUCTION

The purpose of this course is to explain the meaning of eachsections of QC's current Test Plan template. It also provides theway to develop the its contents. Completing this course will helpQC members having understanding to write test plans for asoftware project.


What is test plan

A document that provides information onThe goals and objectives of testing within the scope of the iteration (or project)

The items being targeted

The approach to be taken

The resources required

The deliverables to be produced


Test plan template – Table of contents

There are 7 sections in the current template

1. Introduction

2. Target Test Areas

3. Test Specifications

4. Milestones

5. Test Cycle Entry and Exit Criteria

6. Environmental Needs

7. Risks

5. Test Cycle Entry and Exit Criteria5. Test Cycle Entry and Exit Criteria

5.15.1 Entry CriteriaEntry CriteriaSpecifies the criteria to be used to determine whether the test activities will start

ExFirst Build successfulFirst Build is defined in the project plan at 60% function completed?

5.25.2 Exit CriteriaExit CriteriaSpecifies the criteria that will be used to determine whether the test effort for the current Test Cycle of this Test Plan is deemed sufficient. Should refer to Quality Plan and Acceptance Criteria

Test plan template – Risk

7. Risk7. Risk

An ongoing or upcoming concern that has a significant probability of adversely

affecting the success of the Test Plan. You must identify mitigation andcontingency strategies for each risk.

It includes the following 3 three sub items:

7.1 Risk7.1 RiskLists the risk

7.2 Mitigation Strategy7.2 Mitigation StrategyThe solution to mitigate the each specified risk

7.3 Contingency (Risk is realized)7.3 Contingency (Risk is realized)When the risk happened, which solution, strategy will be used


Test plan template – Risk

7. Risk (Cont.)7. Risk (Cont.)


Risk Mitigation Strategy Contingency (Risk is

realized)

Not enough time to test Optimize the test schedule and define overtime strategy at the beginning.

Increase testing resource (human, equipment,..)

Lack of resource for test Request IT soon to support the system resource

Use personal resource
