Test Plan

-

A Test Plan is a detailed document that describes the test strategy, objectives, schedule, estimation, deliverables, and resources required to perform testing for a software product.

 Test plan is a document that guides you on testing the application

Created by Test Manager/Test Lead.


1.0  INTRODUCTION- A brief summary of the product being tested. Outline all the functions at a high level.

2.0  OBJECTIVES: 

Describe the objectives supported by the Master Test Plan, eg., defining tasks and responsibilities, vehicle for communication, document to be used as a service level agreement, etc.

3.0 SCOPE: Defines what to be tested what not to be tested.

4.0 TESTING STRATEGY: Describes the overall approach to testing.

The approach should be defined in detail.

4.1 Unit testing

Definition: Define Unit testing with respect to the product

Participants: List the names/designations of people responsible for unit testing

Methodology: Describe how unit testing will be conducted.


4.2 System and Integration testing: 

Definition: Define what is your understanding of System and Integration testing with respect to the product.

Participants: 

Who will be conducting System and Integration Testing on your project? List the individuals that will be responsible for this activity. 

Methodology: 

Describe how System & Integration testing will be conducted. Who will write the test scripts for the unit testing, what would be sequence of events of System & Integration Testing, and how will the testing activity take place?


4.3 Performance & Stress testing:

Definition: List what is your understanding of Stress Testing for your project.

Participants: Who will be conducting Stress Testing on your project? List the individuals that will be responsible for this activity.

Methodology: Describe how Performance & Stress testing will be conducted. Who will write the test scripts for the testing.


4.4        User Acceptance Testing 

Definition: The purpose of acceptance test is to confirm that the system is ready for operational use. During acceptance test, end-users (customers) of the system compare the system to its initial requirements.

Participants: Who will be responsible for User Acceptance Testing? List the individuals' names and responsibility.

Methodology: Describe how the User Acceptance testing will be conducted. Who will write the test scripts for the testing


4.5        Automated Regression Testing 

Definition: Regression testing is the selective retesting of a system or component to verify that modifications have not caused unintended effects and that the system or component still works as specified in the requirements.

Participants, Methodology..

5.0: ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS:

Hardware requirements: What are the Hardware requirements where the product is to be tested.

Software requirements: Softwares that will be required to support the product like storage servers, file servers etc.

6.0: TEST SCHEDULE:

Define the tasks and the time or effort required to complete the tasks.

7.0 RESOURCES/ROLES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Specify the staff members who are involved in the test project and what their roles are going to be (for example, Mary Brown (User) compile Test Cases for Acceptance Testing). Identify groups responsible for managing, designing, preparing, executing, and resolving the test activities as well as related issues. Also identify groups responsible for providing the test environment. These groups may include developers, testers, operations staff, testing services, etc.

8.0 MAJOR DELIVERABLES:

Identify the deliverable documents. You can list the following documents:

-    Test Plan

-    Test Cases

-    Test Incident Reports

-    Test Summary Reports 

9.0 RISKS/ASSUMPTIONS

Identify the high-risk assumptions of the test plan. Specify contingency plans for each (for example, delay in delivery of test items might require increased night shift scheduling to meet the delivery date).

10.0 TOOLS

List the Automation tools you are going to use. List also the Bug tracking tool here.

11. APPROVALS

List the approvals that will be required from whom before release to prod or uat.

12. Entry and Exit criteria for each type of testing activity:

Define the entry and exit criteria for all testing activities like Unit testing, Integration testing, system testing and UAT. Give the definition of done for a particular activity.

   Jenkins Architecture: Jenkins follows a Master/Slave architecture where master and slave communicate over TCP/IP protocol Jenkins Architecture has 2 main components: 1. Jenkins Master/Server          2. Jenkins Slave/Node/Build Server 1. Jenkins Master: The Main Server of Jenkins i.e. the brains is the Jenkins Master It is a dashboard which is powered from a war file Runs on port 8080 by default With the help of the dashboard we can configure the jobs/projects but the build takes places in the Node/Slave server By default one node is configured and running in Jenkins Server We can add more nodes using IP addresses, username, passwords using jnlp, ssh or webstart methods The main job of server is: Scheduling build jobs Dispatching builds to the nodes/slaves for actual execution Monitoring the nodes/slaves Recording and Presenting the build results A Master/Server instance of Jenkins can execute build jobs as well i.e. it can also act as a node itself 2. Jenkins Slave: The Jenkins sla

Why do we need a build tool?

Why we need build tool? Consider this scenario where you want to run a java application   You can use java compiler (javac) provided by JDK to compile java code into Byte Code which can then run on any Machine To compile Java Programs using javac you will have to list all java source files to run the entire application Ex., "javac Program1.java Program2.java Program3.java Program4.java" This is a very tedious job. Doing this manually is a pain since there are hundreds of libraries used even in the simplest of Java Application Also one has to add Compilation classpath to make the code work. For example if the code uses libraries like testNG, Selenium etc. You need to add it to Compilation Classpath using following code: "javac -cp testNG.jar; webdriver.jar; lib3.jar" MyProgram.java In conclusion, Compiling java code manually becomes very tedious and complex task Enter Third party build tools like Spring boot, apache-comm
