1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose

The purpose of this Test Plan is to define the testing strategy for the Employee
Information System (EIS). It describes the objectives, scope, resources, schedule, and
testing activities to ensure that the system meets the defined requirements and
functions as expected.

1.2 Objectives

• Validate the functionality of all modules in the EIS.

• Ensure the system meets the performance criteria.

• Identify and resolve any defects before deployment.

• Verify that the system is compatible with different browsers and devices.

• Confirm that the system integrates seamlessly with existing applications.

1.3 Scope

The scope of testing includes the following modules of the EIS:

• Employee Management

• Payroll Management

• Leave Management

• Performance Evaluation

• Reporting and Analytics

• User Authentication and Access Control

1.4 References

• SRS Document: Employee Information System SRS v1.0

• System Design Document: Employee Information System Design v1.0

2. Test Items

2.1 Modules to be Tested

• Employee Management: Adding, updating, and deleting employee records.

• Payroll Management: Processing payroll, generating payslips, and calculating

deductions.

• Leave Management: Applying for leave, approving/rejecting leave, and leave

balance calculations.

• Performance Evaluation: Recording performance evaluations, generating

reports, and notifications.

• Reporting and Analytics: Generating standard and custom reports.

• User Authentication: Login, logout, password management, and role-based

access control.

2.2 Features Not to be Tested

• External third-party payroll integration (to be handled in a separate testing

phase).

• Legacy data migration (handled by a different team).

3. Approach

3.1 Testing Levels

• Unit Testing: Conducted by developers during code implementation to verify

individual components.

• Integration Testing: Testing the interaction between integrated modules (e.g.,

Employee Management with Payroll).

• System Testing: End-to-end testing of the entire system in an environment that

mimics production.

• User Acceptance Testing (UAT): Conducted by end-users to validate the system

against business requirements.

3.2 Testing Types

• Functional Testing: Verify that each function of the EIS operates according to
the SRS.
 • Performance Testing: Evaluate the system’s response time, throughput, and
resource usage under expected load.

• Security Testing: Assess the security of user authentication, data access

controls, and protection against vulnerabilities.

• Compatibility Testing: Ensure the system works across different browsers

(Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and devices (desktop, tablet, mobile).

• Regression Testing: Re-test after bug fixes or changes to ensure existing

functionality is unaffected.

3.3 Test Environment

• Hardware: Servers with 32GB RAM, 4TB storage.

• Software: Microsoft SQL Server 2019, ASP.NET Core 5.0, Angular 12.

• Browsers: Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge.

• Devices: Windows PCs, Mac, Android, and iOS devices.

4. Test Deliverables

4.1 Documents

• Test Plan

• Test Cases Document

• Test Summary Report

• Bug/Defect Report

4.2 Testing Artifacts

• Test Scripts

• Test Data

• Automated Test Results (if applicable)

4.3 Metrics

• Number of test cases executed

• Number of defects found and resolved

• Test coverage percentage

• Performance benchmarks (e.g., response times)

5. Resources

5.1 Roles and Responsibilities

• Test Manager: Oversees the testing process and ensures that the testing
objectives are met.

• Test Engineers: Design and execute test cases, report defects, and validate
fixes.

• Developers: Fix identified defects and assist with unit testing.

• UAT Team: End-users who will validate the system during UAT.

5.2 Tools

• Test Management Tool: Jira or TestRail for tracking test cases and defects.

• Automation Tool: Selenium for automated testing.

• Performance Testing Tool: JMeter for load testing.

7. Risk and Contingency

7.1 Risks
 • Delays in test environment setup.

• Unavailability of key resources (developers, test engineers).

• High number of defects identified during testing.

7.2 Contingency Plans

• Set up a backup test environment to mitigate delays.

• Cross-train team members to cover for unavailable resources.

• Prioritize critical defects and deploy hotfixes if necessary.
