Test Process Flashcards
(10 cards)
What are the key components to define in test planning?
Objectives, approach, scope, resource, schedule, deliverables, participants
These components help ensure a structured and effective testing process.
When should test planning ideally begin?
As early as possible
Early planning helps in achieving the objectives of the test policy.
What is required to keep the test plan updated?
Re-planning to cater changes
This is necessary as the project progresses.
What tasks are involved in the test planning phase?
Understanding context and planning, identifying risk & mitigation, defining test approach with estimation, establishing test plan
These tasks ensure that testing is thorough and well-organized.
What does monitoring in the testing process involve?
Tracking progress, results, deviations, making corrective actions, reporting status and outcomes
Monitoring ensures that the testing aligns with the defined objectives.
What is essential for effective monitoring?
A test schedule & framework with detailed measures and targets
This helps relate the status of testing to the plan and objectives.
What is the purpose of collecting and recording test results?
To see where results deviate from planned testing and monitor new risks
This allows for timely adjustments and risk management.
What does control in the testing process compare?
Actual progress against planned progress
This comparison helps in implementing necessary corrections.
At what points does control typically occur?
At project milestones in the form of a report/handover
This helps inform stakeholders and keeps the project on track.
What are the key activities involved in the completion phase of testing?
Finalising/Archiving test artifacts, evaluating test process, identifying test improvement actions, communicating test closure to stakeholders
These activities ensure that the testing process is properly concluded and documented.
