Deliverable: TE580 Test Plan

Domains: Testing

Expand All Sections Collapse All Sections

Main Description
The Test Plan is a composite deliverable that includes the following children deliverables:
The Test Approach builds on the testing strategy created in the planning stage and
explains the objectives and scope of the test, entry and exit criteria, resources, key dates,
etc.
The Test Scenarios and Test Conditions and Expected Results (TCER) explain
what to test and how to carry out the test at a high level.
The Test Cycle Control Sheet (TCCS) defines when and by whom test cycles are
executed.
Test Script details the exact steps that a tester must follow to complete testing (i.e., to
test all the test scenarios and conditions). Test Script also includes the data that is used
for testing.
Together, the TCCS and the associated Test Scripts form the part of the Test Plan to be used by
the test execution team. The TCCS is used to manage the execution schedule, since it lists every
cycle that is executed, along with the associated start and stop dates and resources. The test
scripts are followed by the testers and are used to document actual results.
When appropriate, use the Test Plan Template to document test conditions, scripts, test cycle
control sheets, etc., in one document, rather than creating these as separate deliverables. Note
that the Test Approach document must be created separately.
Volume: One for each test stage: component test, assembly test, product test, performance test,
etc.
