Test Plan

Test Planning

            After completion of Testing team formation & Risk analysis, Test plan author(Test Lead / Team Lead) concentrate on Test Plan Documentation.

 Test Plan Template:
--------------------
01)   Test Plan ID:   Unique No or Name e.g. STP-ATM

02)   Introduction:   About Project description

03)   Test Items:   Modules / Functions / Services / Features / etc.

04)   Features to be tested:   Responsible Modules for Test design (preparing test cases for

                                     added modules)

05)   Features not to be tested:   Which feature is not to be tested and Why? (Due to test

                                         cases available for the old modules, so for these modules no

                                         need to be tested / no test case

Above (3), (4) & (5) decides which module to be tested – > What to test?

06)   Approach:   List of selected testing techniques to be applied on above specified

                      modules in reference to the TRM(Test Responsible Matrix).

07)   Feature pass or fail criteria:   When a feature is pass or fail description 

                                           (Environment is good) (After testing conclusion)

08)   Suspension criteria:   Possible abnormal situations rose during above features testing

                                  (Environment is not good) (During testing conclusion)

09)   Test Environment:   Required software & Hardware to be tested on above features

10)   Test Deliverables:   Required testing document to be prepared (during testing, the type

                                of documents are prepared by tester)

11)   Testing Task:   Necessary tasks to do before start every feature testing

Above (6) to (11) specifies -> How to test?

12)   Staff & Training:   Names of selected Test Engineers & training requirements to them

13)   Responsibilities:   Work allocation to every member in the team (dependable modules

                              are given to single Test Engineer)

14)   Schedule:   Dates & Times of testing modules

Above (4) specifies -> When to test?

15)   List & Mitigation:   Possible testing level risks & solution to overcome them

16)   Approvals:   Signatures of Test plan authors & Project Manager / Quality Analyst

4)   Review Test Plan:

            After completion of plan document preparation, Test plan author conducts a review of completion & correctness. In this review, Plan author follows below coverage analysis

Ø       BRS based coverage (What to test? Review)

Ø       Risks based coverage (When & Who to test? Review)

Ø       TRM based coverage (How to test? Review)
