Test Plan

The purpose of the test plan is to describe, in detail, the testing activities which will be carried out. Based on what is specified in the project handout, the following outline of a test plan would be appropriate:

I. Introduction - summarizing the objectives of the plan
II. Unit Testing
III. System Testing
IV. User Interface Testing

For each of parts II., III., and IV, the following should be included:

A. Test dates and person responsible
B. Summary of monitoring, reporting, and correcting procedures
C. Detailed test list
- 1. Test number
- 2. Condition being checked
- 3. Input (data itself or file name containing input data)
- 4. Expected outcome

Unit testing will consist of testing code at the module level.

System testing will consist of testing code at the functional level. You should have tests based directly on the requirements specified in the Specification Report. Scenarios of plausible sequences of actions a user might take are relevant tests for this part.

User interface testing will consist of testing the interface to the running program. Handout given in class gives a list of generic tests for GUIs.
