Test Planning
The
test planning stage signifies the necessity to evaluate long-lead-time test
planning activities. During this stage, the test group identifies test
procedure creation standards and protocols; hardware, software, and network
required to aid test environment; test data requirements; a preliminary test
schedule; performance quantify requirements; a method to control test
configuration and setting; as well as defect-tracking procedure(s) and associated
tracking tool(s).
The
test plan comprises the results of each preliminary phase of the prearranged
test methodology. The test plan will portray roles and responsibilities,
project test agenda, test planning and design activities, test environment research,
test risks and incidents, and acceptable level of thoroughness .Test plan addendum
may include test procedures, naming principles, test procedure format
standards, and a test procedure traceability environment.
The
test environment setup is division of test planning. It represents the requirement
to plan, track, and manage test environment setup activities, where material acquisition
may have long lead times. The test team needs to list and trail environment
setup activities; install test setting hardware, software, and network
resources; integrate and install test environment resources; obtain/refine test
databases; and build up environment setup scripts and test bed scripts.
Test Design
The
test design component addresses the need to describe the number of tests to be executed,
the ways that testing will be approached (paths, functions), and the test
conditions that need to be implemented. Test design standards need to be distinct
and pursued.
An
effective test program, incorporating the automation of software testing, engages
a mini-development lifecycle of its own, absolute with strategy and goal scheduling,
test requirement definition, analysis, design, and development. Analogous to
software development, test requirements must be specified before test design is
constructed. Test requirements need to be evidently defined and documented, so
that all project team will understand the basis of the test efforts. Test
requirements are defined within requirement statements as a result of test
requirement analysis.
After
test requirements have been resulting using the described techniques, test
procedure design can start. Test procedure design comprises of the definition
of logical groups of test procedures and a naming convention for the suite of
test procedure. With a test procedure definition ready, each test procedure is
then identified as either an automated or a manual test. During the test
planning stage, the test team gets a perception of the number of test
techniques being engaged and an approximation for the number of test procedures
that will be required. The test team also will have a ballpark figure of the
number of test procedures that will need to be achieved manually, as well as
with an automated test tool.
