Introduction
Brief introduction of the test strategies, process, workflow and methodologies used
for the project
Scope
In Scope
Scope defines the features, functional or non-functional requirements of the software
that will be tested
Out of Scope
Out Of Scope defines the features, functional or non-functional requirements of the
software that will NOT be tested
Quality Objective
Here make a mention of the overall objevtie that you plan to achive withou your
testing
Some objectives of your testing project could be
Ensure the Application Under Test conforms to functional and non-functional
requirements
Ensure the AUT meets the quality specifications defined by the client
Bugs/issues are identified and fixed before go live
Roles and Responsibilities
Detail description of the Roles and responsibilities of different team members like
QA Analyst
Test Manager
Configuration Manager
Developers
Installation Team
Amongst others
Test Methodology
Overview
Mention the reason of adopting a particular test methodology for the project. The test
methodology selected for the project could be
WaterFall
Iterative
Agile
Extreme Programming
The methodology selected depends on multiple factors.
Test Levels
Test Levels define the Types of Testing to be executed on the Application Under
Test (AUT). The Testing Levels primarily depends on the scope of the project, time
and budget constraints.
Bug Triage
The goal of the triage is to
To define the type of resolution for each bug
To prioritize bugs and determine a schedule for all “To Be Fixed Bugs’.
Suspension Criteria and Resumption Requirements
Suspension criteria define the criteria to be used to suspend all or part of the testing
procedure while Resumption criteria determine when testing can resume after it has
been suspended
Test Completeness
Here you define the criterias that will deem your testing complete.
For instance, a few criteria to check Test Completeness would be
100% test coverage
All Manual & Automated Test cases executed
All open bugs are fixed or will be fixed in next release
Test Deliverables
Here mention all the Test Artifacts that will be delivered during different phases of
the testing lifecycle.
Here are the sample deliverables
Test Plan
Test Cases
Requirement Traceability Matrix
Bug Reports
Test Strategy
Test Metrics
Customer Sign Off
Resource & Environment Needs
Testing Tools
Make a list of Tools like
Requirements Tracking Tool
Bug Tracking Tool
Automation Tools
Required to test the project
Test Environment
It mentions the minimum hardware requirements that will be used to test the
Application.
Following software’s are required in addition to client-specific software.
Windows 8 and above
Office 2013 and above
MS Exchange, etc.
