How to develop a test plan ? How to develop a test case?

Test plan consists of test cases. Test cases you develop according to requirement and design documents of the unit, system etc. You may be asked what would you do if you are not provided with requirements documents. Then, you start creating your test cases based on functionality of the system. You should mention that this is a bad practice since there is no way to compare that what you got is what you planned to create.

Hi all

Chandu's answer is absolutely perfect. I'll add some stuff to that.

Generally test plan is prepared by Test Lead depending on the above mentioned points and Test strategy. Depending on the test strategy test lead prepares Test Plan. Test engineers can be involved in creation of test plan. like estimating time to complete the assigned tasks project duration project cost etc.

Test cases are developed after analysis of Busines Requirements/ Business design documents.

Suppose gmail is our project.

1. In BDD we have like user name should be only alphanumerics

Depending on this requirement we'll prepare test data and test cases.

cheers

While developing the Test Plan we should keep in mind that what is the time we have to complete the Review of documents Preparation of test cases and for which date on words testing will start. by that a test plan will prepared stating that how many resourses are going to work on those tasks to complete with in time and test cases are perpared by viewing the test scenarios and documents and while reviewing the documents itself test scenarios will be prepared.

So Test Plan is a complete structure of our work from starting point to end point
and Test cases are what we have to test on the application.

Hi

Test Plan is done depending up the project.

Phase 1 : Proj Manager clients together create a plan for the whole project.
Phase 2 : When the project is broken in to Features/ modules an individual plan is created.

However both consist of the same contents.

Test plan has No. of resources working Time taken Dependinces Risk areas Compatibilities (H/w and S/W) Type of testing How many test cases can be written (in some organisations test cases are also included in the plan. But in some of them scenarios are added in to the plan with a break of Usability Userinterface Functionality Integration points etc.) entry criteria exit criteria.

Let me know if more info is needed

Sindhu

RE: How to develop a test plan ? How to develop a test...

actual process starts like
test initiation--------->test planning------------->test design-------->test execution----->test closure
so ur doubt test planning involves:
team formation
identify risks
prepare test plan-----------what to test how to test who shd test.
review test plans

ur next doubt test case:
we prepare test cases from test scenario's
test scenario's includes what to test
and test case is a document which consists of how to test.
