1. Scope
1.1. General
1.1.1. Identification
<Product> is a new and revolutionary inter-page media product for web promotional
activity. Inovend is currently patent-pending.

1.1.2. System Overview

<Product> offers a new way for web publishers to transfer media to end-users. Rich
media transfers to the user’s computer screen without affecting the browsing
experience. While a web page downloads, a brief impression appears, and then
disappears when the target web page starts to appear on the end-user’s monitor. The
end-user and publisher can control various parameters, based on defined user
preferences and the web publisher’s chosen campaign.

Web publishers can apply <Product> to display different types of images and
animation on their user’s screens without taking up any precious desktop real estate.
Inter-page content does not affect the download rate, since the content resides on the
local machine.

1.1.3. Document Overview

This document describes the design interface between the client and the server of
<Product>

1.1.4.Relationship to other plans

1.2. Terminology
1.2.1.The client terminology
CSI -Client Server Interface

1.2.2.Terminology
SDD - Software Development Document (also called TLD)
STD - Software Test Description
STP - Software Test Plan
STR - Software Test Report
TC - Test Case

1.3. Testing Methodology

The Web testing methodology has the following stages:

1.3.1.Risk Analysis:
Identifies all the project risks before the test-planning phase. The risk analysis purpose
is to define the exact testing scope, the testing environments for each tested issue, the
automated tools to be evaluated and the priorities for the testing activities.
For more details you may use the “Web Risk Analysis Template”.

1.3.2.Test Planning
Specifying the testing strategy: which tests are planned (without specifying the exact
scenarios), what are the means for executing them, and what are the estimated human
resources and time schedule for performing the tests successfully. The Software Test
Plan, beside presenting the tests breakdown, tries to deal with all the issues
concerning the testing activities such as the testing environment, responsibilities and
testing risks.

1.3.3.Test Design
Specifying the exact test scenarios is done by Test Rules Definition (TRD) document.
The document specifies the executing procedures and scenarios (which will be quick
to create and easy to maintain) and deals with all the tests preparations. Separate TRD
documents will be produced for each of the planned testing cycles.

1.3.4.Test Execution
Each testing cycle is performed according to its TRD. During the test execution, the
found defects and the conducted measurements are documented using the TRD
documents. Each defect or remark is added to the bug tracking system for later

©2008 Doron Bar. All Rights Reserved

dealing and handling. Each testing cycle is concluded using a Software Tests Report
(STR) which lists the found defects, conducted measurements and displays trends.

1.3.5.Requirements Reassessment
The last submitted STR is discussed throughout a requirements reassessment review.
The original requirements, which set the basis for the relevant testing cycle are
reexamined and reassessed for the next testing cycle. Each review is documented.

2. Referenced Documents
Specify all the documents that this document refers to.

3.2. Testing Stages

The testing stages to be performed are:

3.2.1.Risk Analysis
Identify the exact testing scope, testing environments and priorities (before test
planning). Note: this stage ought to be done when those testing details haven’t
been specified or clarified enough within the proposal or the contract.

3.2.2.Test Planning
Specifying the overall testing strategy, the suggested testing breakdown, the
exact time schedule and human resources.

3.2.3.Test Design
Designing the scenarios using TRD documents for each of the planned testing
cycles (functionality, usability, performance and security).

3.2.4.Test Execution
Separate testing cycles, which will be performed using the pre-defined TRD
documents. Specify how the defects and measurements are going to be
managed. Each of the testing cycle should be concluded using a STR
document.

3.2.5.Requirements Reassessment
A requirements reassessment review will be done with the client in order to
reexamine the last cycle’s requirements by discussing the relevant STR.

3.3. Coverage & Traceability

Each individual test in this plan includes direct reference to the requirement/s it
covers. Appendix A of this document includes a coverage report that indicates which
tests cover each requirement.
During the test design stage, test cases will be defined in a way that covers all aspects
of the requirement/s referred to by their parent-test. The test execution will be
checked to verify that all scenarios had been executed and reported accordingly.

testing process and the overall testing strategy (as detailed at section 3.1.2).
The STP presents the test breakdown, specifies the testing environment, the
human resources, the automated tools and the time schedule for each test.

3.4.2. TRD Document

The Test Rules Definition (TRD) details the general requirements to be tested
during the each test-case execution. The TRD should be easy and fast to
maintain (using a checklist format). Separate TRD documents are ought to be
prepared for each of the testing cycles (functionality, performance, security
and usability).

3.4.3. STR Document

STR document - Software Test Report document describes the results of each
improper/unexpected result found in the system. Resolving some of the
problems might be vital to proceed the test process. This document will be
presented after each test cycle.

defects and the conducted measurements are discussed in order to reexamine
and reassess the original requirements. A requirement reassessment review must
be held after every testing cycle and must be documented.

6 Risks
Risk Analysis in Testing Software Projects provides initial means of quantifying and ranking
risks which relate to development schedule and deadlines overrun, resources,
technology, development paradigm, end user expectations and other factors.

The Risk Analysis provides the following added-value:

• Better understanding of major Risks and potential problems by all functions

involved in the Project.
• Better forecasting of potential problems and as a baseline for preventive-actions,
rather than corrective-actions.
• Provides initial corrective & preventive actions to minimise the risks
• Provides better control and management of all risks as the Project evolve, by
tracking the risks periodically.
• Provides solid base for QA team to prioritize these efforts, based on the degree of the
risk.

A Typical Risk Analysis/Assessment Table is defined below :

ID Risk Type Severity Probability Risk Risk Minimization Acts

Degree

Columns Explanation:

• ID - Risk Identifier.
• Risk Type - The type/class/description of the risk. The Risk Type will be followed
by an exposure and/or description, when needed.

© 2008 Doron Bar All Rights Reserved – Document can be used freely only without
changing this footer!!!
 ©2008 Doron Bar. All Rights Reserved

• Severity - The estimated risk severity based on preliminary inspection measured in

the degree of the potential damages that might occur if and when the risk will be
realized. The risk is ranked in a scale of 1 to 4, where: (1) Minor Damage, (2)
Medium Damage, (3) Severe Damage, (4) Terminal Damage
• Probability - The probability of the risk to occur. The probability is ranked in a
scale of 1 to 5: (1) Improbable, (2) Very low probability, (3) Low probability, (4)
Medium probability, (5) Probable
• Risk Degree - Risk-Severity multiplied by Risk-probability .
• Risk Minimization Acts - A list of suggested corrective/preventive actions needed
to be taken to minimize the risk.

The following table summarises the risk issues and possible parameters for each
one :

ID Risk Type Severity Probab. Risk

Degree
Risk Minimization Action
