sofwtare standard for test plan it execution
- 1. IEEE 829 Standard for Test Plan
- 2. “A test plan is a document that outlines the strategy for ensuring that a product or system is built in accordance with its specifications and requirements.”
- 3. Making a test plan offers multiple benefits 1. It is a manual for the testing procedure. It guides your testing strategy and outlines the testing procedures to follow. 2. It contains information about the testing scope, which prohibits the team from testing functionality that is “out of scope.” 3. It assists in determining the amount of time and effort required to test the product. 4. It clearly outlines each team member’s tasks and responsibilities, ensuring that everyone on the testing team understands what is expected of them. 5. It establishes a timetable for testing activities. As a result, you’ll have a baseline plan to control and track the testing progress of your team. 6. It lays out the resources and equipment requirements that are required to complete the testing process. 7. It can be shared with your client to provide them with information about your testing method and to build their trust.
- 4. How to create/write a good test plan? 1. Analyze the Product 2. Develop Test Strategy 3. Define Scope 4. Develop a Schedule 5. Define Roles and Responsibilities 6. Anticipate Risks Without expected risks, mitigation measures, and risk actions, your test strategy is incomplete.
- 5. IEEE 829 Standard for Test Plan IEEE is an international organization that creates globally accepted standards and template documents. The IEEE 829 standard for system and software documentation has been established. It defines the format of a set of documents that must be submitted at each level of software and system testing.
- 6. IEEE has specified eight stages in the documentation process, producing a separate document for each stage 1. Test plan identifier ‘Test Plan Identifier,’ as the name implies, uniquely identifies the test plan. It contains information on the project and, in certain cases, version information. 2. Introduction The testing plan is detailed in the introduction. It establishes the test plan’s goal, scope, goals, and objectives. It also has budget and resource limits. It will also detail any test plan constraints and limitations.
- 7. 3. Test items The artifacts that will be tested are listed as test items. It could be one or more project/product modules, as well as their versions. 4. Features to be tested All of the features and functionalities that will be tested are detailed in this section. It must also provide references to the requirements specifications documents, which describe the features to be tested in-depth. 5. Features not to be tested This section lists the features and functions that are not included in the testing. It must include justifications for why certain features will not be tested.
- 8. 6. Approach The approach to testing will be defined in this section. It explains how the testing will be carried out. It includes details on the test data sources, inputs and outputs, testing procedures, and priorities. The technique will specify the guidelines for requirements analysis, scenario development, acceptance criteria development, and test case construction and execution. 7. Item pass/fail criteria This section explains how to evaluate the test results using success criteria. It specifies the success criteria for each functionality to be tested in great detail. 8. Suspension criteria and resumption requirements It shall detail any criteria that may lead to the suspension of testing activities, as well as the conditions to resume testing.
- 9. 9. Test deliverables The documents that the testing team will give at the end of the testing process are known as test deliverables. Test cases, sample data, test reports, and issue logs are all examples of this. 10. Testing tasks Testing tasks are defined in this section. It will also detail any job dependencies, as well as the resources necessary and task completion times. Creating test scenarios, test cases, test scripts, executing test cases, reporting defects, and creating an issue log are all examples of testing tasks. 11. Environmental needs The prerequisites for the test environment are described in this section. It might be hardware, software, or any other type of testing environment. What test equipment is already in place and what has to be procured should be identified in the plan.
- 10. 12. Responsibilities In this section of the test plan, roles and responsibilities are assigned to the testing team. 13. Staffing and training needs This section outlines the staff training requirements for successfully completing the planned testing activities. 14. Schedule Testing activities are given dates, which are then used to generate the timetable. This timeline must coincide with the development schedule in order to provide a realistic test strategy.
- 11. 15. Risks and contingencies It’s critical to understand the dangers, their likelihood, and their consequences. The test strategy must also include ways of mitigating the risks that have been identified. The test strategy should also incorporate contingencies. 16. Approvals This section provides the stakeholders’ signatures of approval.
