Module 01Test Planning

Topics

Formulating a cohesive and broadly supported approach with which the test assignment can be successfully executed. An important part of the planning phase is the creation of the test plan, for the purpose of informing the client and other stakeholders concerning the approach, schedule, budget, activities and the (end) products to be delivered in relation to the test process. If an overall master test plan exists, the test plan should be derived from it.

The Planning Phase

The Master Test Plan

What exactly will be tested?

Based on business aspects:Result, Risks, Time and Cost

Managing the Test Process

Unit Test

Load Test

Performance Test

Coded UI Test

Business- orTechnology-facing

Supporting the team,Critiquing the product

Agile Testing Quadrants

Performance &

Load Tests

Security Tests

‘ility’ Tests

Test Levels, Phases and Types

Every test must rely on previous testsTest goals/depth of coverage per phase are coordinated with each other using a Master Test Plan.

All test types are supported by Visual StudioFunctional Testing, Examples, Story Tests, Prototypes, Simulations, Exploratory Testing, Scenarios, Usability Testing, User Acceptance Testing, Alpha/Beta, Unit Tests, Component Tests, Performance & Load Testing, Security Testing, ‘ility’ testing.

Acceptance Criteria

Business ValueProduct Backlog items have the attributes of a description, order, and estimate and are often ordered by value, risk, priority, and necessity.

Ordering the Backlog

Logical Test CasesLogical test cases are a combination of test situations derived from scenarios and data.

Test CoverageA test design technique that is used to derive the necessary test cases to achieve required coverage from a specific test basis.

Acceptance Test Driven

"Are you done yet?“Development Teams deliver an increment of a product functionality every Sprint. This increment is useable, so a Product Owner may choose to immediately release it.

Shared UnderstandingEveryone must understand what “Done” means.

Definition of “Done”

Testing in a Sprint

It’s a team effort!Do not forget to include testers in Sprint planning/execution.

Get Testing knowledgeThis is a must have for proper estimation and effort planning!

Define Test TasksTesting should be an integral part of the “Definition of Done”!

Testing in a Sprint

To obtain, with the client’s agreement, a test basis that is of sufficient quality for designing the test cases. In order to determine this, a testability review of the test basis is carried out during this phase, which will provide insight into the testability of the system.

The Preparation Phase

Define test tasks during the sprint planning meeting.

“Define Test Cases based on thePCT2 Test Design Technique”

Activity Type: Testing.

Example: Test Specification Tasks

Every phase has specific test tasks.
