Testing Documentation
As testing is a formal process it has to be documented. This section outlines the various types of document required to record the testing process with a special emphasis on the Test Plan.
IEEE829 Documentation
A number of types of document are needed for testing to take place of any type. In many cases these are created as the project proceeds. However a there is an International standard, IEEE829, which details the types of document, what should be in each, and how each relates to the other.
- IEEE 829 Documentation - is an overview of the international documentation standard that can be used for all types of testing.
Test Plans
A particularly important document is the Test Plan. This series of articles outlines various issues to do with creating a good test plan.
- Test Plans - explains the key features of preparing an IEEE 829 test plan.
- Testing Entry Criteria - seven to include in a test plan.
- Testing Exit Criteria - five to include in a test plan.
