RE: Minimum Requirement to start Testing

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.

RE: Minimum Requirement to start Testing

How about this?

The answer depends on what is 'testing'?

The minimum requirement for starting testing would be a Functional Requirement sSpecifications (FRS) aka Business Requirements Document. I would start testing by reviewing this document.

If testing means functional testing then I would need

1. BRD/FRS as mentioned earlier

2. All written test cases for the feature(s) decided to be tested

3. A build form development that

a. compiles installs and runs without major errors (in other words passes sanity/smoke testing)

b. contains the functionality being tested.

RE: Minimum Requirement to start Testing

If the question points to when to start with test execution then the answer is when the agreed entry criteria mentioned in the test plan is met

The entry criteria can be:

1) The test plan/strategy document is approved and signed off.
2) The test cases/bed is approved.
3) All related documents are configured. i.e Configuration Management is in place.
4) Hardware/software/database environments are deployed.
5) Formal mail from dev/deployment is received with build notes.
6) All the defects found in unit/integration testing are fixed and incorporated in the build.
7) Test execution schedule is available.
