After a solid customer requirements have been established and reliable design detail has been done, the test team leader must create a test plan explains that the testing strategy. The most reliable way to do this is to create a "document test design.
Gathering requirements from customers for software development
Document test design allows testing team carefully thought out approach to testing and to determine the effort involved in ensuring adequate coverage test for each functional specification products. Here are the keys of successful creation of test samples (Jacobson et al, 1992):
Specify background
Tester gives brief information about the project, so that they can understand more about why the project is implemented. This will help bring new testers to the team during the testing phase, allowing the consistent communication and reduce the amount of time required for the tester started.
Specify date code freeze
Many projects cost overruns in connection with "gold plated". Goldplated, when project manager's enables customers and developers continue to add bells and whistles on the software, are outside the scope of the project. At first they seem innocent, under the guise of making the product more stable. Many seem to take only a few hours, but it affected the project because it affects the test plans, documentation, production requirements, support requirements, and many other things. The best way to prevent this for a project manager and testing team to customers and programmers with the specification and provide the date on which made any new programs. This date is a "code freeze date" and after that moment, this is only repair the defect. No date code freeze, test team testing a product that is in constant change (Jacobson et al, 1992).
Creating a test case matrix
This is a tracking matrix, which ensures that an adequate audit coverage ...
