Requirements Phase

• Determine the test strategy.

• Determine adequacy of requirements.

• Generate functional test conditions.

Design Phase

• Determine consistency of design with requirements.

• Determine adequacy of design.

• Generate structural and functional test conditions.

Program (Build) Phase

• Determine consistency with design.

• Determine adequacy of implementation.

• Generate structural and functional test conditions for programs/units.

Test Phase

• Determine adequacy of the test plan.

• Test application system.

Installation Phase

• Place tested system into production.

Maintenance Phase

• Modify and retest.

All software testing activities would comprise the following tasks that need to be carried out as part of the testing process.

Theses are:

• Test Planning

• Test Design

• Test Execution

• Review and Metrics

The output of the testing activities are sometimes called Testware

Definition

Testware

● Hardware vs. Software vs. Testware.

● Deliverables created by Testing.

● Used to communicate project quality.

● Used to track project issues and bugs.

● Test Plan

● Test Spec./Outline/Checklist

● Test Cases (Writeup + Automated)

● Bug Descriptions

● Status Reports

● Exit Reports

what is Test Plan ?

● Derived from Test Approach, Requirements, Project Plan, Functional Spec., and Design Spec.

● Details out project-specific Test Approach.

● Lists general (high level) Test Case areas.

● Include Testing Risk Assessment.

● Include preliminary Test Schedule

● Lists Resource requirements.

Test Plan Why ?

● Identify Risks and Assumptions up front to reduce surprises later.

● Communicate objectives to all team members.

● Foundation for Test Spec, Test Cases, and ultimately the Bugs we find.

● Failing to plan = planning to fail.

Test Spec/Outline What ?

● Derived from Test Approach, Requirements, Project Plan, Functional Spec., and Design Spec.

● Provides specification or framework for development of Test Cases.

● Identifies specific testing objectives (business rules, user scenarios, generic component testing, etc.)
