1. Documentation specifying the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended testing activities. It identifies test items, the features to be tested, the testing tasks, responsibilities, required, resources, and any risks requiring contingency planning. or A formal or informal plan to be followed to assure the controlled testing of the product under test. 2. A software project test plan is a document that describes the objectives, scope, approach and focus of a software testing effort. The process of preparing a test plan is a useful way to think through the efforts needed to validate the acceptability of a software product. The completed document will help people outside the test group understand the why and how of product validation. It should be thorough enough to be useful, but not so thorough that none outside the test group will be able to read it.
(SQA) A formal set of use case scenarios that describe normal and abnormal dialogs that must be validated before new or modified software may be released.
A description of the test s needed to complete project properly. [D03354] PMDT document that describes the approach to all development, integration, qualification, and acceptance testing. The term " Test Plan" is usually preceded by one of the following modifiers: system, subsystem, assembly, subassembly, module, etc. Usually part of the System Engineer ing Management Plan. [D04281] CSM
A record of the test planning process detailing the degree of tester indedendence, the test environment, the test case design techniques and test measurement techniques to be used, and the rationale for their choice. TestLink allows define Test Case Suite, Builds and user assignment within a Test Plan.
A document designed to periodically exercise specific action tasks and procedures to ensure viability in a real disaster or severe outage situation.
a detailed procedure for conducting a software test program. Test plans include a description of component being tested, a summary of requirements being tested, detailed descriptions of test cases, including instructions necessary for conducting each test, and expected results for each test to provide some criteria for deciding whether or not test was successful.
In a test plan the general structure and the strategic choices with respect to the test to be executed are formulated. The test plan forms the scope of reference during the execution of the test and also serves as an instrument to communicate with the customer of the test. The test plan is a description of the test project, including a description of the activities and the planning; therefore it is not a description of the tests themselves.
a description of the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended testing activities, while a test scenario is a description of test cases that ensure that a business process flow, applicable to the customer, is tested from end to end
a detailed project plan for testing, covering the scope of testing, the methodology to be used, the tasks to be performed, resources, schedules, risks, and dependencies
a document that describes the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended testing activities, while a test scenario is a document that describes both typical and atypical situations that may occur in the use of an application
a high level planning document derived from the project plan (if one exists) and details the future course of testing
a set of possible inputs along with their associated expected outputs
a specific version of a project plan with clauses that meet these requirements
a valuable tool to the extent that it helps you manage your testing project and find bugs
One of several plans that are rolled up into the master project plan. It is developed by the test role and outlines the strategy the team will use to test the solution. It specifies the specific types of tests to be used, areas to be tested, test success criteria, the resources (both hardware and people) required for testing, and procedures for change control, configuration management, and issue and bug tracking.
The overall approach to the test. In many ways, the test plan serves as a summary of the test activities that will be performed. It shows how the tests will be organized, and outlines all of the testers’ needs which must be met in order to properly carry out the test.
Test Plan documents describe the objective of the test, test procedure, expected result, severity details, and ID for the test unit.
The recovery plans and procedures that are used in a systems test to ensure viability. A test plan is designed to exercise specific action tasks and procedures that would be encountered in a real disaster.
document prescribing the approach to be taken for intended testing activities. The plan typically identifies the items to be tested, the testing to be performed, test schedules, personnel requirements, reporting requirements, evaluation criteria, and any risk requiring contingency planning.
A detailed plan that addresses all aspects related to the test of an output or sub-output. It should include test scenarios, the test schedule and define any necessary support tools.
A specific plan that breakdown testing approaches on a functional area basis.
A document describing the scope, approach, resources, and schedule of intended testing activities. It identifies test items, the features to be tested, the testing tasks, who will do each task, and any risks requiring contingency planning. Ref IEEE Std 829.
A technique for recording tests to be carried out and the expected results of the tests. Typically a plan states the type of test, what test data will be used, what results are expected, and the actual results.
Part of a disaster recovery plan, the information for simulating various levels of disasters and recording an organization's ability to recover. 12.21 Testing, certification, 16.29-30 Testing programs, 15.2, 13-14
A document or a section of a document which describes the test conditions, data, and coverage of a particular test or group of tests. See also: Disaster Recovery, Test Condition, Test Data, Test procedure (Script)
A test plan is a systematic approach to testing a system such as a machine or software. The plan typically contains a detailed understanding of what the eventual workflow will be.
