This document outlines the fundamental test process, which consists of test planning and control, test analysis and design, test implementation and execution, evaluating exit criteria and reporting, and test closure activities. It describes the major tasks for each stage of the test process, including reviewing requirements, designing and prioritizing test cases, executing tests, evaluating results against exit criteria, and archiving test materials upon completion. The document was authored by Rendi Saputra for a university course on software testing.
A short list with the most important terms and expressions that QA professionals should know to work daily.
Testing is a process rather than a single activity. This process starts from test planning then designing test cases, preparing for execution and evaluating status till the test closure.
In this section, we will describe the fundamental test process and activities. These start with test planning and continue through to test closure. For each part of the test process, we'll discuss the main tasks of each test activity. Putri Nadya Fazri. Program Studi S1 Sistem Informasi. Fakultas Sains dan Teknologi.

The document outlines the software testing process, which includes defining test policies and strategies, preparing test plans, establishing testing objectives, designing test scenarios and cases, executing test cases, analyzing test results, and performing retesting and regression testing. Key steps involve writing test cases, defining test data, creating a test bed for execution, and logging and analyzing results to identify errors or missing requirements. The overall goal is to check if actual results match expected outcomes and ensure the software is defect-free.
In this section, we will describe the fundamental test process and activities. These start with test planning and continue through to test closure. For each part of the test process, we'll discuss the main tasks of each test activity. In this section, you'll also encounter the glossary terms confirmation testing, exit criteria, incident, regression testing, test basis, test condition, test coverage, test data, test execution, test log, test plan, test strategy, test summary report and testware.
The document discusses test planning and documentation. It defines test planning as creating test cases and strategies to control and communicate testing. A test plan scope, approach, resources, schedule and identifies items to test. Objectives are to design verification, manage efforts, and find bugs. It recommends types of tests to cover and provides a template for test plans with components like lists, tables, and matrices.
Test planning involves defining the scope, objectives, and activities for testing a project. It is done early in the project and produces a master test plan. Key activities include identifying what needs testing, assigning roles and resources, and defining entry and exit criteria. Estimating test effort can be done using metrics from past projects or by eliciting estimates from subject matter experts. Product characteristics, development processes, and expected test outcomes all impact the level of effort required for testing.
This document provides an overview of test execution, including its purpose, entry and exit criteria, cycles, and methodologies. Test execution involves running test cases against software to find defects and assess quality. Key activities include verifying the test environment, selecting test cases, executing them, and logging any defects found. Test cycles are run as planned, with additional cycles as more defects are uncovered. Retesting and regression testing help ensure defects are closed without impacting previous functionality. Testing ends when criteria like completing test cases, reaching an acceptable defect rate, and schedule constraints are met.
The document outlines the key components of the test process, including test planning, analysis, design, implementation, execution, and closure activities. It describes various test techniques like risk-based testing, test estimation, and reviews. The test process aims to define what to test through test conditions and how to test through concrete test cases. It helps deliver business value by managing quality costs and ensuring compliance.
