Checkpoints: Test Plan
- The test plan clearly identifies the scope of the test
effort, by stating the following:
- stages and types of test to be implemented and executed
- target-of-test features or functions to be tested / not
tested (if appropriate)
- any assumptions, risks, or contingencies which may affect
or impact the test effort
- The test plan clearly identifies the artifacts (and version)
used to generate the contents of the test plan.
- Each project requirement (as stated in use cases or the
supplemental specifications) has at least one associated requirement for
test or a statement justifying why it is not a requirement for test.
- All the requirements for test have been identified and
prioritized for each of the different types of tests to be implemented and
executed.
- A clear and concise test strategy is documented for each type
of test to be implemented and executed. For each test strategy, has the
following information has been clearly stated:
- the name of the test and its objective
- a description of how the test will be implemented and
executed
- a description of the metrics, measurement methods, and
criteria to be used evaluate the quality of the target-of-test and
completion of the test
- All the resources needed to successfully implement and
execute testing have been identified, including hardware, software, and
personnel.
- The test plan contains a schedule or list of milestones
identifying the major project and test related activities (start and end
dates, and / or effort).
- The test plan identifies the artifacts created by the test
activities, when the artifacts are made available, how they will be
distributed, their content, and how they should be used.
