Proper Test plan designed,which depends on Specific requirements and covers all User expectaions.3. Properly designed High Level Test cases which covers almost all main functionalities of the System/Project4. Human resources with some sound knowledge of Testing and should atleast have idea of STLC (Software Testing Life Cycle).Correct me if i m wrong!!Many Thanks,Dev..
To Start Testing with a minimum requirements we need to look for the following avaliabilities:
1. SRS ( Software Requirements Specification) about the Project. 2. High level Test Cases defined as per the SRS including all the main functionalities. 3. Setting up the System environment as per the SRS. 4. Test plan and Test schedule should be created to do the Testing in a more effective way. 5. Skilled Testers/Human Resources to handle the Testing in a effective way.
