Monya is a junior QA engineer creating their first test plan for a new feature at their company. The document outlines Monya's process for test planning, which includes understanding business goals, mapping test areas, dividing the feature into components, deciding on test types, and writing the test plan. It also provides tips for taking an iterative approach and documenting the test plan, as well as recommendations for mind mapping and diagramming tools to aid in planning.

7. Requirement or Spec???
How does Monya know what is feature doing?
✘ A requirement specification is a set of documented
requirements to be satisfied by a material, design, product, or
service.
✘ Spec is a specification, an approved document, which is the
basis for the development of a computer program and for its
testing.
ReqSpec ???

8. What is the test planning?
✘ Traditional phased software methodologies.
✘ They’re intended to outline the objectives, scope, approach, and
focus of the software testing effort for stakeholders.
✘ The completed document is intended to help people outside
the test group understand the “why” and “how” of product
validation.
Phase, effort and
document!!

9. Why does Monya need test plan?
In release planning, we talk about:
✘ The purpose of the release
✘ What’s in scope
✘ What assumptions we’re making
✘ Risk analysis and plan our test approach to address those risks
✘ Automation
✘ Test environments, test data
✘ Identify milestones and deliverables
Hmmm, this is
starting to sound
like . . . a test
plan!

10. Implementation
Monya’s first feature

11. Double verification attack process.

12. Pre-planning
Lightweight planning:
✘ The business conditions of satisfaction
✘ High level acceptance test cases
✘ Story clarification/examples - high level
Yeeh.. We are
starting test
planning here...

13. Ta-da-da!!!

14. Implementation: Understand business goals
What is really important for business?
Client does not
always know
what he wants!
Look on goals!

15. “If I had asked people what they
wanted, they would have said faster

Test Plan creating, writing
and forming:
● Groups
● Test Case Titles

21. Implementation: Summary
✘ Understand business goals
✘ Understand new feature functionality and changes.
✘ Map all test areas.
✘ Divide feature to components/models.
