In Webster's Dictionary, quality is defined as "the essential character of something, an inherent or distinguishing character, degree or degree of excellence." If you look at the computer literature, you will see that there are two commonly accepted meanings of quality. It should state the name(s) of the software items covered by the SQA plan and the intended use of the software. It indicates the part of the software life cycle covered by the SQA plan for each specified software element.
Document Reference Section — This section provides a complete list of documents referenced elsewhere in the text of the SQA Plan. Documentation Section — This section specifies the documentation that governs the development, verification and validation, use, and maintenance of the software. The CMMI Collection of Products provides the latest best practices for developing and maintaining products and services.1 The CMMI models are the best process improvement models available for developing and maintaining products and services.
Part 2
The basis of the automated test categorization is that it is implemented on the computer. According to Deming, “The cost of living depends inversely on the goods and services that can be purchased for a given amount of money. For example, reliable service reduces costs. The results of the logical design phase are used to develop the physical design of the system.
The test plan also becomes part of the system maintenance documentation after the application is delivered to the user. Another important part of the requirements specification is the data description (see appendix C, Requirements specification, for more details). In the Introduction section of the test plan (see appendix E2, System/Acceptance test plan), the documentation of “first-cut” test activities is started.
Acceptance test information is available and can be documented in the Test Specifications section of the test plan. When a condition is created, the test condition number is documented in the test template. System test sources are the quality attributes that have been defined in the software quality assurance plan.
The end users of the system are only involved in the very beginning and the very end of the process. Then a design is made for the base components of the system and the functionality is determined in the first step. If the system changes between the development of the test plan and when the tests are to be performed, the test plan must be updated accordingly.
This includes recording the test results and relating them to the test plan and test objectives.
Part 11
Recommended development participants to attend include the project sponsor, development manager, or a senior development team member. Although members of the development team may take notes, this is the responsibility of the scribe. The most effective approach is for the scribe to take notes and summarize at the end of the interview.
See Appendix F20, Project Information Collection Checklist, which can be used to verify the available and required information at the beginning of the project.). It should be prepared by the interviewer in advance and agreed by the development manager.
Conduct the Interview
He should then introduce himself and the scribe and ask the members of the development team to introduce themselves. Each should indicate name, title, specific roles and job responsibilities, as well as expectations of the interview. To develop a test plan for a development project, it is important to understand the goals of the project.
In both cases, the test manager needs to estimate the scope of the development project in order to start the test plan. This method of determining how much testing to perform allows the tester to compare the project to past projects to estimate the magnitude of the risk. In highly structured projects, the nature of the task completely defines the outcome from the start.
When project scores are each multiplied by each of the three weighting factors, it is clear that project A has the highest risk. The goal is to make the results of the session as clear as possible for quality assurance and development organization. See Appendix E16, Meeting Minutes, which can be used to document the results and follow-up actions for the project information gathering session).
The purpose of this task is to create agreement between the interviewer and the development organization to ensure an understanding of the project. The purpose of the test project plan is to create a basis for carrying out tests in an organized manner.
Build a Test Plan
Main window (menu bar, customer order window, etc.) Customer order window (order summary list, etc.) Edit-order window (create order, customer order, etc.) Menu bar ( File, Sort, View, etc.). This test may or may not be performed based on the formality of the project. A predetermined number of detected defects - The problems with this are knowing the number of defects to detect and also overestimating the number of defects.
Interim Test Report: A report published between test spirals indicating the status of the test effort (see Part 16, Step 3, Publish Interim Report). It should be pointed out that the roles of the test manager and the team members are not mutually exclusive. The purpose of the test environment is to provide a physical framework for testing that is necessary for the testing activity.
The main components of the test environment include the physical test facility, technologies and tools. For example, an Open status can change to Under Review, Returned from Development, or Deferred from Development. Transitions are initiated either by the test department or by development. The objectives are to ensure the integration of the proposed change, the test requirements and the ability to install the change request.
Business Assessment Procedures — This includes procedures for assessing the business risk, impact and installation requirements of the proposed change. The objectives are to ensure that the timing of the proposed change does not interfere with business objectives.
Define the Metric Objectives
Interim Test Report — An Interim Test Report is a report published between test spirals that indicates the status of testing. Accountability – Any analytical interpretation of raw metric data is based on the data itself, so it is imperative to store the raw data and methodically audit the analytical process. So the key to accuracy is that the metric is explicitly documented as part of the data collection process.
Histogram, Pareto Distribution of defects by type. architecture, connectivity, consistency, database integrity, documentation, GUI, installation, memory, performance, security, standards and conventions, stress, usability, bad fixes). Design review cost ÷ number of defects discovered during design reviews Average cost to locate a code. Number of errors detected by testing ÷ total system defects Average effectiveness of a test Number of tests ÷ total.
Number of detected errors during testing ÷ test costs Effect of test changes Number of tested changes. The test plan review should be scheduled well in advance of the actual review and participants should have the latest copy of the test plan. The first is to define what will be discussed, or "to talk about what we need to talk about." The other is to discuss the details or "to talk about it".
The third is debriefing, or "talking about what we talked about." The last element is the time frame. Line graph Number of tests performed over time Line graph Number of tests performed without defects.
Design Function Tests

A functional breakdown is used to illustrate processes in a hierarchical structure showing successive levels of detail. See also Appendix E24, Test Condition vs. Test Case, Matrix I, which can be used to associate a requirement with any condition that is mapped to one or more test cases.).
This dialog is used to create new orders or to make changes to previously created orders. This dialog will be used to verify that the order quantity is available on stock and to validate customer credit.
Design GUI Tests
Five key basic components of the user interface are windows, menus, forms, icons, and controls. See Appendix E23, Screen Data Mapping, which can be used to document the characteristics of the screen data and Appendix F32, Test Case Preparation. System testing consists of one or more tests based on the original goals of the system defined during the project maintenance.
Security Testing — Assesses the presence and proper functioning of application security to ensure data integrity and confidentiality. Stress testing — Investigates the system's behavior under conditions that overload its resources. Backup Testing — Verifies the system's ability to back up data in the event of a software or hardware failure.
Some of these fragment tests should have formal tests performed during each spiral, while others should be part of the overall testing strategy. Usability is an ongoing informal test during each spiral and should always be part of the testing strategy. A formal form of usability testing is the end-user review of the prototype, which should take place during each spiral.
Acceptance testing is an optional user-run test that demonstrates the ability of the application to meet the user's requirements. The test design review should be scheduled well in advance of the actual review, and the participants should have the latest copy of the test design.
