T1: Writing Test Plans (Intermediate)(CSTP, #3)
Lore Pateman
This tutorial counts as one day of training towards the Certified Software Test Professional requirements.
This tutorial provides
an introduction to writing test plans. Test
plans are the roadmap for testing. Without
good test plans, what’s been tested or not tested may be unknown, how to repeat a
test may be difficult to determine, expected results may be ambiguous or undefined, and
estimating risk can be hampered.
With this tutorial, you
will learn what constitutes a good test plan. We’ll
discuss industry standards for writing test plans as well as establishing company
standards. The various test plan types will
be introduced. We also discuss what to do
when time is short. Estimation techniques
will be covered just in case your manager wants to know how long it will take to write the
test plan. You’ll also get some practice
writing test plans.
