A test plan is a document detailing the objectives, resources, and processes for a specific test session for a software or hardware product. The plan typically contains a detailed understanding of the eventual workflow .
The Test and Evaluation Master Plan documents the overall structure and objectives of the Test & Evaluation for a program. [3] It covers activities over a program’s life-cycle and identifies evaluation criteria for the testers. [4] The test and evaluation master plan consists of individual tests. Each test contains the following. Test Scenario
The standard formed part of the training syllabus of the ISEB Foundation and Practitioner Certificates in Software Testing promoted by the British Computer Society. ISTQB, following the formation of its own syllabus based on ISEB's and Germany's ASQF syllabi, also adopted IEEE 829 as the reference standard for software and system test documentation.
This document contains the general system organization, menu structures, data structures etc. It may also hold example business scenarios, sample windows, and reports to aid understanding. Other technical documentation like entity diagrams, and data dictionaries will also be produced in this phase. The documents for system testing are prepared.
Test strategies describe how the product risks of the stakeholders are mitigated at the test-level, which types of testing are to be performed, and which entry and exit criteria apply. They are created based on development design documents. System design documents are primarily used, and occasionally conceptual design documents may be referred to.
Documentation is about the testing of all the documents created prior, and after the testing of software. [4] Any delay in the testing of the document will increase the cost. [5] Some common artifacts about software development and testing can be specified as test cases, test plans, requirements, and traceability matrices.
An engineering verification test (EVT) is performed on first engineering prototypes, to ensure that the basic unit performs to design goals and specifications. [1] Verification ensures that designs meets requirements and specification while validation ensures that created entity meets the user needs and objectives.
Entire test suites or test cases exposing real bugs can be automatically generated by software using model checking or symbolic execution.Model checking can ensure all the paths of a simple program are exercised, while symbolic execution can detect bugs and generate a test case that will expose the bug when the software is run using this test case.
