Test Plan Document Comments
Team: DNA
Grade: (77 out of 100)
New Grade: (87 out of 100)
The following is a breakdown of the grading.
Scope (17 out of 20 points)
New Grade (17 out of 20 points)
- Are there pointers to sources for input to testing. OK, but would be better to point directly to the functional requirements section and non-functional requirements section.
Revision: Pointing to the wrong section of Req. Doc.
- Is there a clear delineation of what activities are subject to
the test plan? yes
Schedule (15 out of 20 points)
New Schedule (20 out of 20 points)
- Is there a pointer to the current project schedule at the point
where testing activities are defined and scheduled? No, just a pointer
to the overall schedule. Simple thing to fix. Send the link
to the explicit place where testing is scheduled in your
current schedule. If more than one place, tehn use more than
one link.
Revision: Done.
- Does the schedule reflect the details of this plan, meaning has
enough time been set aside for the testing that will be performed by
this team? It is OK if some tests are defined that are not intended
to be completed this quarter, but they should be clearly indicated as
such. And at least some of the test plan should be executed this
quarter. I can see unit testing being explicitly identified,
though the time set for that seems low. Where are integration
or validation tests brought out?
Validation tests (45 out of 60 points)
New Grade (55 out of 60 points)
- Is there a test defined for every functional and non-functional
requirement? The non-functional requirements seem to be covered by a
single test, number 7. Is that sufficiently detailed plan to
cover the three NF requirements you listed in your Req. doc?
- Is the test clearly defined? OK, except for Test 7.
- Is it clear if/when the test will be conducted this quarter? OK,
but it's a bit clumsy to go from test to schedule to figure
out when the testing will occur. Information is there, however.
- Is there a clear template for reporting test results? It's
fairly generic result template. Not sure it will be that
useful for all tests.
