6.0 Questions for confirmation of learning
Q1. Define Test Plan? What does it comprise?
A document describing the scope, approach, resources and schedule of intended test activities. It identifies
amongst others test items, the features to be tested, the testing tasks, who will do each task, degree of
tester independence, the test environment, the test design techniques and entry and exit criteria to be
used, and the rationale for their choice, and any risks requiring contingency planning. It is a record of the
test planning process.
Q2. What ten constraint you will apply as test criteria for checking “Birth Date” field of student?
If Month In (01, 03, 05, 07, 08, 10, 12) Then Day between (01 to 31)
If Month In (04, 06, 09, 11) Then Day between (01 to 30)
If Month Is 02 AND ((year Mod 4) <> 0) Then Day between (01 to 28)
If Month Is 02 AND ((year Mod 4) = 0) Then Day between (01 to 29)
BirthDate < AdmissionDate, BirthDate field should not be blank, BirthDate In Format “dd/mm/yyyy”
Q3. What is test case design? What are its parts?
The process of deriving the testcases from structure of code or from the requirement specification is called
as Test-case design. The testcase design is to formulate the test scenario, identifying prerequisites, writing
steps to execute test, sample data, expected output and actual output.

7.0 Conclusion
1) Test plan includes test schedule and resource planning as well. (Yes/No)
2) Test team structure is about testing manpower hierarchy. (Yes/No)
3) Test case design contains Actual and Expected results. (Yes/No)

9.0 Questions:
02) How will you decide “What to test?” and “What not to test?”
Scope Management pertains to specifying the scope of a project, that is, “What to test?” And “What not to
test?” For deciding the features to be tested, Scope Management entails,
1. Understanding what constitutes a release of a product;
2. Breaking down the release into features;
3. Prioritizing the features for testing;
4. Deciding which feature will be tested and which will not be;
5. Gathering details to prepare foe estimation of resources for testing.
The following factors drive the choice and prioritization of features to be tested.
- Feature that are new and critical for the release
- Feature whose failures can be catastrophic
- Feature that are expected to be complex to test
- Features which are extensions of earlier features that have been defect prone

03) The different data types involved in Student Admission Forms are, integer, long integer, float, string
and date.
