Test Plans
The purpose of the test plan is three-fold. First, it provides a detailed plan for verifying a stated objective. Second, it anticipates issues associated with high-risk components. Third, it communicates schedule and progress toward a stated objective. The test plan has the following components:
- Test Cases. Detail level test scenarios. Each test plan is made up of a list of test cases, their relevant test phases, and relationship to components.
- Component Inventory / Risk Assessment. A list of components that need to be tested. Also describes related components and identifies high risk components or scenarios that may require additional test coverage.
- Test Schedule. A schedule that describes when test cases will be executed.
Business Process Testing is an important best practice. Business Process Testing drives the test case definition from the definition of the business process. In business process testing, coverage is measured based on the percentage of validated process steps.
