3 Principal Test Documents
———————–
1. Test Policy (Organisation Level)
– Very High Level Document
– What “Testing” means for organisation
– How organisation measures test success
– Relatively static document (Changes when organisation’s focus changes)
– Developed by IT department
2. Test Strategy (Programme Level)
– Applicable for a Programme/System which covers multiple projects
– Objective/Scope of Testing
– Inscope/Out of scope Items for testing
– Test Levels (Unit/Module/System/Integration)
– Test Types ( Functional/Non-Functional)
– Entry/Exit/Stop/Resumption Criteria for testing (for different Levels/Phases)
– Risks to be addressed
– Test Environment
– Test case design methodology (Specification driven/BVA/EQ Parttition)
– Test methodology ( Top-down/bottom-up/risk based)
– Test Automation Approach
– Test Tools to be used
– Defect Management approach
– Defect classification
– Retesting & regression approach
3. Test Plan (Project Level)
– All above points specific for this project
– Test Estimation & Test schedule
– Test Organisation/roles/responsibilities
– Test deliverables
– Test reporting
Who will write the test strategy? I read that the project manager writes the test strategy and team lead writes test plan. Then how test strategy comes under test plan. Please clear this doubt.
