Writing good test plan and writing good tests

A Test Plan is a document describing software testing scope and activities. It is the basis for formally testing any software/product in a project.

This software test plan document provides details on testing for a software project called XXX. It describes the test environment, identification of planned tests, schedules, and traceability of requirements to tests. Tests are divided into phases and categories and will verify requirements from the software requirements specification document for XXX.

The test planning stage involves identifying standards and protocols for test procedure creation, hardware and software requirements for the test environment, test data needs, a preliminary test schedule, and defect tracking procedures. The test plan will outline roles and responsibilities, the test project schedule, planning and design activities, test environment setup, risks and issues, and the required level of thoroughness. Test design addresses defining the number and types of tests, test paths and functions, and required test conditions. Test requirements must be clearly defined and documented before test design so that the basis for test efforts is understood. During test planning, the test team estimates the number and types of test techniques and procedures needed.

This document outlines the testing strategy and process for a software project. It includes details about sprint timelines, testing artifacts, test methods, test types, definitions of done, and bug prioritization. The testing process involves smoke testing, unit/selenium tests, main testing, regression testing, and testing reports. Test methods include manual functional testing and automated functional testing. Test types cover new features, risk, interfaces, compatibility, permissions, and notifications. Bugs are prioritized as blocker, critical, major, or minor.

This document provides templates for test documentation including test plans, test design specifications, test procedure specifications, test cases, and test reports. The templates are based on the IEEE 829 standard and are intended to help ensure that test documentation includes essential information and supports testing activities. The templates can be adapted as needed for different projects and contexts.

This document provides a template for a test plan that includes sections for test plan identification, references, introduction/scope, test items, risks, features to be tested, approach/strategy, pass/fail criteria, deliverables, schedule, responsibilities, and approvals. The template can be used to create a test plan that outlines what will be tested, how it will be tested, and manages the test process.

The document discusses test planning and outlines the key phases and activities in a test planning process. It emphasizes that an important part of planning is creating a test plan that is derived from an overall master test plan. The planning phase involves determining what will be tested based on business needs and risks, and managing the test process and different test types. It stresses the importance of coordination across test levels, phases, and types using a master test plan to avoid duplicative testing.

This document provides guidelines and templates for creating a Quality Assurance Test Plan. It outlines the purpose, scope, objectives, and goals of testing. It describes the overall test methodology including entrance and exit criteria. It also covers test execution approaches, test scenarios, environments, assumptions/risks, roles and responsibilities, and defect tracking. The plan is intended to document the testing strategy for an application to ensure requirements are met.

Aliaa delivered a session in the topic of “Test planning” using a new technique of delivering content through games and knowledge sharing instead of instructive technique. The session covered all test planning activities including defining test items, risk assessment techniques, testing strategies, planning for testing resources, testing scheduling, and test deliverables and the final test plan documents. The session introduced to quality team at ITWorx (June , 2013)
