1. What is test plan? Write its two advantage.
Ans. Refer to Section 3.1.1.
Advantages of Test Planning:
(i) Test plan describes the way in which testing team will show whether software work
correctly as per requirements and the acceptance criteria! as defined b customer or
development team with customer. It defines various objectives for testing to measure its
performance and coverage offered.
(ii) Test plan explain who does testing. Why test are performed how test are conducted and
when tests are scheduled (calendar date and milestone). It defines various criteria such as
entry criteria, exit criteria, suspension criteria and resumption criteria at various stages of
testing.
(iii) Work involved in test planning and setup pays in the long term. It gives insight testing
activity completely. One knows scope and deliverables of test plan execution.
(iv) Test plan must contain procedures, environment and tools necessary to implement an
orderly, controlled process for test execution, defect tracking, coordination of rework and
configuration, and change control.
(v) Test plan addresses various levels of testing such as unit testing module testing, System
testing, integration testing, black box testing as well as white box testing. Some time there
may be single master test plan with several child test plan at each level for a number of a
small plans or one monolithic test plan covering every aspect of testing.

rhe steps in the teSt management process are explained below:

Tut PAaneg9"'e~

(l) Test Plan: TeS t p~an served as an initial sketch to carry out the testing. Testing is being
tracked and ~omtored as per the test plan. It gives a prior picture of test challenge a nd
aspect that will be carried out for the software.
(ll) Test design affords how to implement the testing. Typically creating test cases is with
inputs an~ expected output of the system and choosing which test cases are necessary for
the execution of the test.
(iii) Test E~ecution: Ma~ner of executing and test the actual system result against the expect:d
result 1s test execution. Test execution can be done manually and by using automation sUJt.
During the execution tester needs to make sure that the user's need of the software is
occupied in the software. '
(iv) Exit criteria determines when to stop the test execution. Exit criteria is defined during the
te~t pl~n ~hase and u~ed ~n the test execution phase as a mile stone. Tester needs to set the
exit cntena at the begmnmg, exit criteria may change during the project run as well.
(v) Test reporting gives the picture of test process and result for the particular testing cycle. To
define t?e element in the test reporting the first thing that needs to be considered is whom
the audiences of the test report are. For an example a project manager will like to see the
high level picture of the testing, intermediate people will wish to view more detail and the
client will expect the test reporting in the criteria such as requirement basis, feature basis.

Steps In Test Management Process

{Yii) Naming and storage conventions for test artifacts: Every test artifacts(test specification, test
case, test results and so on)have to be named appropriately and meaningfully. It enables
(a) Easy identification of the product functionality.
{b) Reverse mapping to identify the functionality corresponding to a given set of tests.
For example, modules shall be M01,M02.Files types can be .sh, .SQL.
In addition to file naming conventions, the standards may also stipulate the conventions for
directory structures for tests. These directory structures are mapped into configuration
management repository.
flll) Docamllltation standards: Documentation standards specify how to capture information about
the tlltl within the test scripts themselves. It should include:
(I) Appropriate header level comments at the beginning of a file that outlines the functions to
llllllwd bythe test.
tit latlldlnt lnllne comments, spread throughout the file
• .,....,._ cbaqe history Information, reading all the changes made to the test rue.
_,. of lllt report? Write contents of test summary report. -
