INTRODUCTION
The idea of a fundamental test process for all levels of test has
developed over the years. Whatever the level of testing, we see the same
type of main activities happening, although there may be a different
amount of formality at the different levels, for example, component tests
might be carried out less formally than system tests in most organizations
with a less documented test process. The decision about the level of
formality of the processes will depend on the system and software
context and the level of risk associated with the software.
TEST PLANNING AND CONTROL
During test planning, we make sure we understand the
goals and objectives of the customers, stakeholders, and the project,
and the risks which testing is intended to address. This will give us
what is sometimes called the mission of testing or the test
assignment. Based on this understanding, we set the goals and
objectives for the testing itself, and derive an approach and plan for
the tests, including specification of test activities. To help us we may
have organization or program test policies and a test strategy
CONTINUE…
Test planning has the following major tasks, given approxi- mately in
order, which help us build a test plan:
 Determine the scope and risks and identify the objectives of
testing.
 Determine the test approach (techniques, test items, coverage,
identifying and interfacing with the teams involved in testing,
testware)
CONTINUE…
 Implement the test policy and/or the test strategy
 Determine the required test resources (e.g. people, test
environment, PCs)
 Schedule test analysis and design tasks, test implementation,
execution and evaluation
 Determine the exit criteria
CONTINUE…
Test control has the following major tasks:
 Measure and analyze the results of reviews and testing.
 Monitor and document progress, test coverage and exit criteria.
 Provide information on testing.
 Initiate corrective actions.
 Make decisions.
TEST ANALYSIS AND DESIGN
Test analysis and design has the following major tasks, in
approximately the following order:
 Review the test basis (such as the product risk analysis,
requirements, architecture, design specifications, and interfaces),
examining the specifications for the software we are testing.
 Identify test conditions based on analysis of test items, their
specifications, and what we know about their behavior and
structure.
CONTINUE…
 Design the tests.
 Evaluate testability of the requirements and system.
TEST IMPLEMENTATION AND
EXECUTION
During test implementation and execution, we take the test
conditions and make them into test cases and testware and set up the test
environment. This means that, having put together a high-level design for
our tests, we now start to build them. We transform our test conditions
into test cases and procedures, other testware such as scripts for
automation. We also need to set up an envi- ronment where we will run
the tests and build our test data. Setting up environ- ments and data often
involves significant time and effort, so you should plan and monitor this
work carefully.
CONTINUE…
Test implementation and execution have the following major tasks, in
approximately the following order :
 Implementation:
 Develop and prioritize our test cases
 Create test suites from the test cases for efficient test execution
 Implement and verify the environment.
CONTINUE…
 Execution:
 Execute the test suites and individual test cases, following our test proce dures.
 Log the outcome of test execution and record the identities and versions of the
software under test, test tools and testware.
 Compare actual results (what happened when we ran the tests) with expected
results (what we anticipated would happen).
 Where there are differences between actual and expected results, report
discrepancies as incidents. Repeat test activities as a result of action taken for
each discrepancy.
EVALUATING EXIT CRITERIA AND
REPORTING
Evaluating exit criteria is the activity where test execution is
assessed against the defined objectives. This should be done for each
test level, as for each we need to know whether we have done enough
testing. Based on our risk assess- ment, we'll have set criteria against
which we'll measure 'enough'. These criteria vary for each project and
are known as exit criteria.
TEST CLOSURE ACTIVITIES
Test closure activities include the following major tasks:
 Check which planned deliverables we actually delivered and ensure
all incident reports have been resolved through defect repair or
deferral.
 Finalize and archive testware, such as scripts, the test environment,
and any other test infrastructure, for later reuse.
CONTINUE…
 Hand over testware to the maintenance organization who will
support the software and make any bug fixes or maintenance changes,
for use in con firmation testing and regression testing.
 Evaluate how the testing went and analyze lessons learned for
future releases and projects.
